Whether it's the extra year in bottle or the different conditions experienced in 2019 compared to 2020, this 2019 Plexus is slightly more savory, more seamless and softer. This really has it all... the dark chocolate, black cherry, raspberry pip, tobacco char and hung deli meat in each and every mouthful. Very nicely done. ... More details

This offers the distinctive savory spiced, highly herbal bouquet typical to Duval's South Aussie red blends. Showing a touch of bottle age already, this drinks well now, offering heady aromas of ground white and black pepper, graphite, chocolate, red-currant jam, and preserved plums. The palate is powerful but fresh. Tannins are chalky and chunky, with garrigue-like herbs lingering on the long finish.

Perfumed, with elegant notes of plumeria and violet that add an aromatic lift to the core of savory toasted herb, tobacco, loam and cola notes. This has appealing velvety tannins and plenty of harmony on the finish. Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2035. 2,000 cases imported.

Rated 92 by James Suckling
This has a red-plum and blackberry mix on the nose and palate with a gently herbal edge and orange peel. Medium body, plenty of rich red-fruit flavor and a smooth, pastry-like tannin texture. A blend of 45% shiraz, 32% grenache and 23% mourvedre. Drink over the next five years. Screw cap.
Winery
Nose: Lifted vibrant red fruits, with underlying notes of liquorice, cinnamon and a hint of smokey oak Palate: Generous, velvety layers of red and black fruits, hints of savoury spice and gentle tannins finishing very long and pure.

Region: Barossa

Australia is known around the world for the high quality of its flavorful Shiraz wines, and Barossa Valley, near the city of Adelaide is surely the home of the finest Shiraz grapevines in the country. The first vineyards in the Barossa Valley were established in the late 19th century by German settlers, however today there are dozens of high quality and unique businesses operating in the region, making the most of the temperate continental climate the valley enjoys, and producing a wide range of wines made from various grape varietals. Whilst Shiraz grapes thrive particularly well in this part of Australia, there are now vineyards in Barossa Valley growing all kinds of red and white grape varietals, and showing a real flair for flavor, aroma and complexity brought about by a strong mix of traditional and modern techniques.

Country: Australia

With over sixteen thousand hectares of Australian land now under vine, Australia has become something of a world leader in regards to wine production. One of Australia's key attributes to their success has been their willingness to leave traditional vineyard practices to one side, and develop techniques which are perfectly suited to a New World country. Modern Australian wineries take into consideration the climate and the unique soil types which cover much of their country, and have had fantastic results from cross-breeding programs and blending practices which make the most of the grape varietals which thrive most successfully there, notably the Shiraz and Chardonnay grapes. In recent years, Australia has been lauded as the 'most influential' wine producing country in the world, and the rest of the New World is looking down under for inspiration, and the ability to produce comparable fine wines on their own terrain.
