  • 2013 Merlot (Museum)

    Cellar door $60.00
    Only 2 cases left! Another fine example of what the 2013 vintage has to offer. Bright ruby, garnet in appearance, this wine opens up to an almost floral potpourri aroma, along with plum, blackcurrants, hints of cedar and dark chocolate, and a savoury edge. The taste shows good intensity of flavour, soft supple tannins, balanced with black fruits, cedar and spice. Again, some aged notes are present, with gamey forest floor hints showing – this still has time to age, but it provides a gorgeous glass of wine now. (Limit of 2 bottles per order)

  • 2014 Merlot (Museum)

    Cellar door $60.00
    Only 5 cases available! The vintage of the century continues to provide examples of superb wines, not just in Shiraz but other varieties like this Merlot. Lovely ruby/garnet in colour, this wine smells of plums and blackberries, currant spice and cedar. Bigger structure than the 2013 Merlot, this is now giving hints of the developing savoury, aged characters. As such this wine tastes quite youthful, with a solid acid backbone, fine mellow tannins, and with good intensity and length. As with the 2014 Shiraz, this wine is lovely now, but will also reward further cellaring. (Limit of 2 bottles per order)

  • 2014 Shiraz (Museum)

    Cellar door $85.00
    Six medals (including a Top Gold Medal) and 2 trophies, wow! In outstanding vintages such as this, some gems shine brighter, and this is one of those gems! Its youthful flavours are still present a decade on, with black fruits, cedar and aniseed aromas, the savoury aged qualities are just starting to appear. The palate still shows good acid drive and intensity, fine tannins and a core of black fruits once again just starting to give up their tertiary secrets of what it will be like in years to come. Will be worth the wait for those who can! (Limit of 4 bottles per order)

  • 2024 ‘Doctor Jones’ Shiraz

    Cellar door $35.00 Members $30.00
    Bottled end-May 2025, this David Hook-made wine is well-balanced and VERY easy to drink! It's giving fresh black fruits, spice notes and white pepper. Constantly developing more complex flavours as it gets more time in bottle, we reckon it has a very bright future. Footnote: We named this wine in memory of a very dear friend of ours, Dr Jana Jones, PhD.
