2018 Patritti 'Merchant' Shiraz

A classic McLaren Vale style with raspberry, plum and blackcurrant fruit flavours. Oak and fruit tannins are integrated and balanced giving great line, length and structure. This wine will develop and mature in harmony over the coming decades.

2018 Mike Press Shiraz

The palate has richness with ripe red cherries, blackberry and plum, integrated with spices and vanilla. A balanced wine that can easily be enjoyed now but will cellar well for 5 years or more.

2015 DeLisio 'Covert' Shiraz

2018 Two Faces Shiraz

Dark plum fruits and a hint of rhubarb, soft oak tannins, great length and balance.

2017 Heidenreich 'The Old School Principals' Shiraz

A deep red in colour with a rich black cherry aroma balanced with soft vanillin oak. The palate is generous with berry fruits with a velvet tannin finish.  
 

2018 Thomas Goss Shiraz

This wine is rich and generously loaded with satsuma plum, cherry and spice on the palate. Subtle French oak adds layers and complexity and the wine has great length with soft tannins. The finish is long-lasting, delicious, dense and fruit packed.

The Winery - With Mike Press leading this pack, you’re guaranteed a wine of unbeatable value and, thanks to over 40 years experience, including with the industry’s most famed wine producers, you can also be confident of outstanding quality. If you’re looking for experience, look no further than Patritti Merchant, a family owner operation with nearly 100 years residency in South Australia, and Thomas Goss, one of the founding pioneers in the McLaren Value during the mid-nineteenth century.

The Region - We’re exploring South Australia and all its wonderful variants, from the sun-soaked seaside on the Fleurieu Peninsula to the red-wine specialists in McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley and the delicate cool-climate of Adelaide Hills. It’s a spectacular journey, each region only a short drive from another, with outstanding produce to sample along the way.

A Wine to Recommend - With only 500 cases of the De Lisio Covert Shiraz produced, you had best spread the word quickly before they run out. Elsewhere across this pack you’ll find awards, great names and beautiful destinations that will surely convince you to stay. There are wines with body, perhaps an ideal after-dinner treat, and others with cool-climate finesse, the perfect Friday-evening accompaniment to reflect on the week just passed.

A Wine to Celebrate - the talent behind Heidenreich Estate had reason to celebrate when the last of seven children finished their time at the local school and, now the inspiration behind The Old School Principal’s Shiraz, it’s a wine to help celebrate your own milestones.

A Wine Worth Sharing - take your friends and family on a journey, through the winding roads of South Australia, with stories that date back the last two centuries and a land that’s far older and seemingly destined to produce outstanding wine.
