Yering Station claimed they were sold out of their powerhouse Shiraz-Viognier for the 2017 vintage. None was allocated to the US market. Domestic demand was too high, especially after its recent 95-point score from James Halliday’s Wine Companion, Australia’s answer to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. If we accepted that answer, this would be the end…
It’s no easy feat for a Shiraz to score 97 points and win Best in Show at Decanter’s World Wine Awards. Wines there get tasted blind by a panel that includes Masters of Wine and Master Sommeliers from all over the world. When those judges decide to grant a Best in Show, the award must…
In June of 1996, Wine Spectator blasted out “Australia Hits the Big Time,” on a cover featuring three towering bottles of Shiraz. Two were marquee bottlings, Henschke Mount Edelstone and Penfolds Grange, which retail for $180 and $600+. The third was from Mount Langi Ghiran. Demand skyrocketed, especially domestically. That’s why 80% of Mount Langi’s…
If there’s one importer who you’ve GOT to listen to about Australian wines, it’s Jane Lopes. We’ve known her since she was running the beverage show at Nashville’s renowned Catbird Seat. Since then, she smoked her Master Sommelier exam, worked at NY’s Eleven Madison Park, moved to Australia to head up the wine program at…
Our last offer from Australia’s Shaw + Smith was a sellout that we knew would be hard to top. So we raised the bar by going lower on price Today we’ve got Shaw + Smith’s brilliant 2018 Shiraz for under $30—a stunning value for a red that garnered 95 points from James Suckling and inspired…
Sound the trumpets, this is fantastic Shiraz. We’re not just talking about a dark-fruited eruption of power and class. We’re talking about one of the best under-$20 values on the market. There’s a level of refinement and pedigree in the 2019 Wits End Luna Shiraz that is extremely rare in wines at this price—a purity…
Winemaking icon John Duval has crafted some of Australia’s most legendary Shiraz, and after tasting the luscious and velvety 2019 Entity—a bottle with all the exuberance of its 96-99-point predecessors—it’s clear that he’s struck gold once again. This wine was a fast sell-out in January, and we’re lucky to have secured another allocation for Wine…
South Australia’s Barossa Valley is the world’s epicenter for lush, jammy, vibrant, and rich Shiraz. But Barossa Shiraz is no longer synonymous with across-the-board value the way it once was. Which is why the 2020 Barossa Bourne Shiraz Barossa Valley is such a spectacular buy. Crafted by winemaker Stuart Bourne—alum of Halliday Five-Star Château Tanunda…
Barossa Shiraz represents the heavyweight class of Australian wines. In 2020, First Drop Mother’s Milk Shiraz jumped the ring ropes and delivered an unbelievable knockout: a dual 94-point release.! Powerful, broad, and flashy, hitting the palate with a boisterous charisma, this will be a masterstroke pairing with smoky summer BBQ. Flame-licked burgers, sauce-slicked ribs—this Shiraz…
99 points. 97 points. 96, 96, and another 97. Those are the scores that John Duval’s Entity has racked up from James Halliday’s Wine Companion five out of the last six years. It’s a phenomenal and consistent performance that shows why Entity beat all challengers to capture the publication’s 2020 Shiraz of the Year award—and…
Ben Glaetzer’s winemaking talent runs in his blood. His German ancestors settled in Australia’s cool-climate Barossa Valley in the late 19th century, becoming some of the earliest recorded winegrowers in the area. Ben took over the Glaetzer and Amon-Ra brands from his father in the early 2000s, and in 2001, he joined forces with Frank…
In June 1996, Wine Spectator blasted out “Australia Hits the Big Time” on a cover featuring three towering bottles of Shiraz. Two were collector-favorite bottlings: the ultra-pricy Henschke Mount Edelstone and Penfolds Grange. The third was from Mount Langi Ghiran, an outfit that had been relatively obscure—until that cover launched it to worldwide recognition. Demand…
Hayes Family Wines is a Barossa newcomer anchored by the remarkable Stone Well Vineyard, which was first planted in the 1940s. This precious parcel of land was settled after WWII by Italian immigrants who had worked at Penfolds. They planted Penfolds cuttings, and now ancient vines thrive in the challenging terrain, where the sparse topsoil…
Common sense says that the farther you get from a region, the tougher it is to find its wines. In most cases, it’s true: California is awash in Napa wines you can’t get in Amsterdam, and we wish we had the pick of Loire Valley whites you’d find on a shelf in Paris or Tours. …

Two Hands proprietor Michael Twelftree acquired this red-earthed, east-facing vineyard near Greenock in 2001—a year after the winery’s debut vintage. A construction business owner, Twelftree began Two Hands with his original business partner Richard Mintz based on a simple question. While at a party drinking a bottle of Australian Shiraz, Michael thought: This wine is…
Xanadu rocketed to legendary status when they took home Australia’s prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy, an honor akin to being named Wine Spectator’s #1 wine. They’ve become a massive Wine Access favorite over the past seven years, filling our members’ cellars with top-notch reds that ALWAYS deliver big-time bang for the buck. But you will not…
One bottle per order. That’s what Aussie red wine lovers are often limited to when they buy John Duval’s Entity Shiraz from the winery website. It’s so impossible to find in Australia that one of our members once wrote, “This is a superb Shiraz. Our Australian cousin has begged us to save her a bottle.” …
