Nothing beats the diversity of our deep lip-staining ‘black reds’. Hold them to the light and you can barely see through. However, once you taste what’s inside the glass you’re greeted by a rush of intense flavour – from ripe and silky to savoury, smoky and dense.
According to winemaker Alan Kennett (and thousands of Black Stump customers), when you combine Durif and Shiraz “magical things happen”. Perhaps that explains Black Stump’s splendid two decades of popularity. The wine owes its name to a mythical outback marker of the boundary between the known world and the unknown. Describe anything as the best “this side of the black stump” and you mean it’s reckoned to be unbeatable. How appropriate for an affordable Aussie red of peerless intensity and popularity. Dark Durif, “the grape that takes no prisoners” (The Observer), and impressively juicy Shiraz make a perfect marriage, creating a velvety, voluptuous, and irresistible style. Serve in large glasses with steak and kidney pie or a Sunday roast.
The late, great Peter Lehmann was a fifth generation Barossa winemaker and a legend in his own lifetime. The son of a Lutheran preacher, he became a champion of small independent grape growers in the region, buying their grapes through the tough days of the 1970s when the big wineries reneged on their contracts. This earned Peter the title ‘Baron of the Barossa’. Those growers never forgot his generosity and always stayed loyal. With a fabulous wine range including the world class Stonewell, no one did more to elevate the Barossa to cult status than Peter. His generous spirit lives on in this hearty, big spice Shiraz. Rich, chocolatey, with a peppery vanilla edge, it’s supreme with rare beef, roast lamb or veggie casserole with dumplings.
After enjoying a “distinguished career as a winemaker spanning over 20 years, working for some of Australia’s largest wineries” (Halliday), John Quarisa is making his own wines – his own way. The result? Mile upon mile of excellent wines that continue to win Gold! Fragrant cassis, ripe plum with hints of mint and subtle cedar oak aromas, followed by rich black fruit, sweet plum and fine grain tannins across the palate. A soft generous wine which pairs perfectly with duck or rabbit. This wine has the flavour, structure and balance to be enjoyed now or offers added satisfaction from further cellaring. “Delightfully ripe and immediately appealing, the wine shows dark berry, vanilla, hazelnut and warm spice aromas on the nose, followed by a silky palate offering succulent fruit flavours with rounded texture and supple tannins, offering excellent drinking... 91pts" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).
As you’d expect from a wine dominated by Durif, this is a whopper of a red. It was carefully crafted in the darkest corner of the cellar. Why? Because it’s the special project of rising star winemaker David Joeky and he didn’t want anyone to take a look or taste it until he was absolutely ready. So every evening, after the rest of the crew had left, David would retire to the furthest corner of the cellar, where he’d stationed his special tanks of dark, spicy Durif and ripest, peppery Shiraz. We think he’s ‘blended a blinder’ as the locals say. "Nose of blackcurrant, juicy black cherry, smoky chocolate undertones. Luscious fruit on the palate ... and mouthwatering freshness. A seductive Shiraz with a mellow texture. Delicious and structured" (Gilbert & Gaillard).
A smooth, richly spiced, black red – our most reordered French red ever and with a history of umpteen Golds. From deep in southern France, Cabalié needs no ceremony. Just large glasses for serving! Its secret? It’s crafted by a master winemaker, Hervé Sabardeil, following the centuries-old style beloved of Roman centurions, who first made wine there. Raspberry-rich Grenache, with herby black-fruit Syrah and Carignan, Cabalié has impressive concentration. That’s due to the maturity of the vines, most well over 50 years old. The tiny berries they produce give Cabalié extraordinarily rich, ripe flavours. Boasting 8 Golds in as many vintages, this much-loved red is warming solo or with hearty dishes.
This is a BIG fruity red that customers adore. It hails from a little-known region of Spain. Cast down its eastern coast and you’ll stumble across the desert-like landscape of Jumilla. It’s where Spaghetti Westerns used to be filmed and is home to some of the oldest and most concentrated Syrah and Monastrell vines in Spain. Camino de Seda, meaning ‘Silk Road’, comes from a winery just off this historic route that brought wealth and splendour to the region over 500 years ago. It’s crafted by Scottish-born winemaker Pamela Geddes. Her passion for wine took her to Australia where she learnt how to capture freshness and fruitiness in the hottest of climates, so she's right at home in Jumilla. Sweet mocha, blackberry and vanilla aromas, followed by super-concentrated black fruit flavours with an edge of spice. A warming red to enjoy with hearty dishes.
