Flagship wines to try

Taste excellence with these flagship wines from four of the Top 100 Wineries.

2021 CULLEN WINES DIANA MADELINE

Margaret River, WA

$160

The 2021 vintage marks the 50th year for plantings of cabernet sauvignon at the Cullen Wilyabrup vineyard and, serendipitously, in 2023 Diana Madeline’s 100th year was celebrated. A truly profound wine with great depth, length, and concentration. Enjoy now or cellar up to 50 years. cullenwines.com.au

2019 NELDNER ROAD HERRMANN SHIRAZ

Kalimna, SA

$150

Taken from 85-year-old vines on yellow to grey clays over limestone, which typically produce fruit with lifted aromatics, flavours of dark chocolate and dark berry fruit with underlying powerful tannins. neldnerroad.com.au

2022 PEPPER TREE WINES SINGLE VINEYARD ALLUVIUS SEMILLON

Hunter Valley, NSW

$55

“The fruit comes from the Casuarina vineyard on Hermitage Road, with the sandy soil that is scattered through Pokolbin. Juicy Meyer lemon and a tightly woven strand of lime make an immediate impact, heretically suggesting this could be mistaken for a one-year-old riesling. Either way, it is a compelling wine.” – James Halliday. peppertreewines.com.au @peppertreewines

2022 TAPANAPPA FOGGY HILL VINEYARD PINOT NOIR

South Fleurieu, SA

$60

Fresh, delicately floral with notes of macerated berries and underlying layers of spice. The wine is brooding, brimming with intensity and indicates long ageing potential. Complex, with a core of sweet fruit, significant refined tannins, finishing long. tapanappawines.com.au
