Sister’s Run is serious fun and serious wine. The talented, young winemaker Elena Brooks (of Dandelion Vineyards and Heirloom Vineyards fame) wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.

Ripe white chocolate fruit aromatics begin in a lifted and pleasantly powerful way; some spice bouquet wafts in from deft oak, and then zephyrs of violets, fresh green herbs, star anise, and eucalyptus float by, at once there and then not there. There is a superb and beautifully underplayed supporting cast, however, of round, smooth
tannic grip, of warm vibrant freshly milled black pepper, of stewed plums doused with a shot of pastis and finished with a grating of dark chocolate.

The balance between richness and tannin, between power and an underlying acid tension and edge, make this red wine almost too drinkable. You could serve this with as much ease alongside an eggplant laksa or a barbecued piece of peppered chicken. Don't be afraid to cellar some of this wine too. There's reward ahead.

The Watkins family embarked on an incredible journey into the wine industry back in 1997. It all began when David Watkins and Ros Watkins, purchased a plot of land in Currency Creek, South Australia. Their vision was clear from the start: to create a vineyard of unparalleled quality and prestige. With determination and passion, the Watkins family spent the next 22 years transforming their dream into an impressive 485 hectares of premium vineyards across four renowned regions of South Australia: Adelaide Hills, Currency Creek, Langhorne Creek, and McLaren Vale.  

The nose is fairly lifted with baked blackberries and black cherry fruit, menthol, licorice and vanillin spice notes. Full bodied on the palate, texturally dense but smooth and lively with fine tannins. This is a large and in charge, classic Aussie Shiraz. 

This wine will match beautifully with the bold flavours of grilled and barbequed foods.

‘Wildstreak’ celebrates the maverick that is Peter Drayton. A fifth generation descendant of the famed Drayton wine pioneers, Peter has forged his own independent way, embodying the audacious spirit and the adventurous vision of his early pioneering forefathers. The range reflects his love and respect for the tradition that is the Hunter Valley as well as the future and optimism that it embodies. 

Beautifully developed aromas of caramel and vanilla extend on the nose alongside notes of dried apricots and orchard fruits. The palate is very textural thanks in part to extended lees contact and oak ageing. Soft, buttery flavours unfold with hints of honey dew melon underscored by a distinct mineral tone. The palate is supported by a wild streak of acidity which tames the density of fruit, drawing out the finish. 

This wine will feel friendly alongside a cheese board or it will be right at home paired with brined and roasted whole chicken.

Primary aromatics abound, calling out fresh, bright and lively berried fruits, red licorice, homemade jelly, and wild flowers. Additional notes of fennel and tar also reveal themselves in subtle, lifted shades. This red wine is an effortless three-step dance, with the pretty fruity notes of the Grenache leading on the palate, giving way to lightly peppery flavours from the Shiraz, all supported by the structure of the Mourvedre. The wine finishes with lingering notes of sweet oak spice.  

This red wine will deal with the most robust foodstuffs you can minister. Serve lightly chilled in warmer weather and as is when things get chillier.

The Old Testament vineyard is located in the heart of the Coonawarra. The resulting wine produced suggests ripe mulberry and blueberry aromatics with gentle notes of  shaved pencil and menthol on the nose. Soft red berry fruits begin to unfold on the palate, finishing with a spiced-liqueur like quality, carried by velvety tannins and perfectly judged acidity.  

Serve with leg of lamb or other rich dishes - try a country steak and shoe string fries.
