A deep and intense wine packed with red fruits, spice and cedar, with exceptional length and depth of fruit. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, and sourced entirely from Dandelion's own Firehawk Farm vineyard, which is one of the very best in McLaren Vale. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years. Learn More

Aussie Merlot doesn’t get more complex or highly awarded than Irvine’s Grand Merlot, twice recipient of the best Merlot in the world award. Recent releases are even better structured and livelier thank the oldies, and we are confident the 2018 will improve for 10 years plus. The 2018 exceeds the power and complexity of the 2017 vintage, adding a rich sheen of plum and fig to the mix of violet, blueberry, dark chocolate and five spice. Excellent acidity and plenty of fine French oak here too. Decant for several hours before drinking. Learn More

Powerful, cedary and black-fruited. A few years ago this was probably monstrous. Pleasingly, it's settling into itself, and a bit of a decant sees it drinking beautifully. Exceptional concentration of dark fruits here, along with chocolate and spice. Handpicked and basket pressed. Learn More

About as big as you can make a Cabernet and still have it taste like a Cab. Cassis, cigar box, cedar, black fruits, spice, cocoa powder and more on the go here. Definitely worth decanting, as this peels back the layers of tannin a little and pushes the fruit forwards. Pretty awesome! Learn More

A big, brooding beast, packed with blackberry, dark cherries, dark chocolate, baking spice and plenty of cedar. The generosity and ripeness of fruit is superb. Definitely worth decanting. Learn More

Perhaps the prettiest and most aromatic Sabre to date, offering aromatics and flavours of strawberry, redcurrants and dark cherry; a tensile, mid-weight palate, excellent length and cedary oak goodness. Learn More

A mid- to heavy weight Cab, which still retains varietal character. There are blue fruit and dried herb aromatics, a plush palate and excellent depth and length of fruit. Learn More

Stunning value Chardy from James Halliday's reigning Winemaker of the Year! Nine months in 25% new French oak and lees stirring in barrel provides texture and structure to cleansing and citrussy fruit. Learn More

Peach and citrus aromas are supported by a little cedary French oak. Stone fruits and buttery goodness all at play on the palate which leads to a clean, dry finish. Learn More

A truly excellent and complex Pinot Gris, packed with fresh nashi pears and florals, a hint of struck match, and a streak of minerality. The texture here is superb, the length excellent. Just a few months of lees stirring in 25% new French oak, and juice oxidization prior to ferment give this superb weight and texture. Perhaps the best PG the Knapsteins have produced. Learn More

A powerhouse old vine Barossa Shiraz, which was given an 18 month sleep in A-grade French oak. Black fruits, chocolate, fig, cherries and vanilla all happening here, and the length and texture are sublime. If you like your Barossa Shiraz stamped 'pulls no punches', this is likely to make you very happy indeed. Learn More

The best Botanica Pinot Grigio so far; dry with wonderful aromatics, a mineral edge, pear aromas and flavours, and even a suggestion of the graininess you find when biting into a perfectly ripe, juicy pear. There is also green apple, lime and honeysuckle in the mix. It’s excellent chilled hard, and goes nicely with a range of foods, like a Vietnamese poached chicken salad; just go easy on the chilli. James Halliday rates First Creek wines as a five red star producer, his highest accolade, and offers the following: ‘The quality of the wines has been consistently exemplary, and there is every reason to believe this will continue in the years to come.’ Learn More
