From 10-20yo vines in Penrice and Light Pass, matured in used American and French oak. Over-delivers with its almost wanton display of luscious fruits. There's no oak per se, but the wine feels open, not the least reduced. Great value, and ready when you are.

Still fermented on a small quantity of Viognier skins, the 2019 Hangin' Snakes Shiraz no longer includes that variety on the label. It's still apparent in the wine's dark color, stone-fruit-inflected aromas and ripe, glycerol-rich mouthfeel. It's a lovely mouthful of supple, juicy Shiraz, full-bodied without excessive weight or tannin, just easy-to-drink joy in a glass.

A very plump, fleshy and supple style with a bright, round core of red fruit that sits in very approachable mode. A blend of 96% shiraz and 4% viognier.

There is only two percent viognier in the mix, but it does what it is supposed to do: lift the shiraz off the floor and give the wine a kickstart. The nose is aromatic with plums and blueberries mixed with soft, sweet fruit and plenty of savoury notes. It is a wine for the barbecue: rich, round and drinkable. A great wine for summer backyard parties.

This is a soft, supple and richly fruited style with generous aromas and flavors of blackberries and spiced blueberries. The palate is very approachable, softly structured and fleshy with ripe-blackberry flavors throughout. Just 1% viognier in the mix here.

Dark, brooding black fruits, with pepper, very balanced charry oak and a soft, approachable structure.

Ripe dark fruit and very much showing the Viognier component with its floral aromas and white peach character on the palate.

This has aromas of violets, dried rosemary, cherries, bark and mint chocolate. Full-bodied with sleek tannins and a peppery, savory finish. Vegan.
