The Boss

From one of our favourite Barossa producers, who have brought us multiple 98 and 99 pointed drops before, comes this incredible special release shiraz that will continue to improve for the next 20 years. Careful maturation in specially selected highest-grade French oak, followed by barrel selection of the finest juice, has helped craft this unparalleled expression of the country's top grape/region combination. Compellingly complex, the nose shows rich, ripe plums and bramble fruit with black cherries. Supporting is an excellent intermingling of charcuterie, black olives, cocoa and liquorice. The palate is simultaneously refined and powerful, with beautifully ripe tannins and a clean line of acidity supporting an incredibly long finish. This is premium Barossa at it's absolute best.

This wine is, without doubt, one of the most popular we’ve ever seen at Vinomofo. How popular is popular, you ask? Well, thirsty Mofos took over 45,000 bottles of a previous vintage straight out of our hands. Yup. We know it’s a great wine deal but when our mofo members are this unanimous in their desire for this drop; well it’s simply cause for one big shiraz gluggin’ celebration. Full bodied and silky smooth with lashings of plums and earthy spice; if you’re quaffing this Frankland River gem on a week night, know you’re in good company alongside many a Mofo. With one fist in the air (and the other holding a glass of this wine) we salute you!

This is a really big deal - 95 points from Halliday Wine Companion for an Australian Malbec is extraordinary - although not unexpected. Boysenberry, wild raspberry and prune plums reveal themselves slowly, backed by cardamom and dark chocolate spice. Deceptive in its exotic persona but built with serious structure to go the distance. Halliday describes it perfectly: "You need to peer into the depth of this wine to slowly unveil it." A swift decant helps reveal the complexity hiding within. Boysenberry, wild raspberry and prune plums provide the fruit foundation, while a plethora of spice adds intrigue. There's a snap of dark chocolate weaving through violet aromatics with mahogany, leather and cigar box nuances. A second sip will reveal even more layers: wild raspberry, red cherry and blackcurrant backed by hibiscus florals, minerality, and earthy complexity. The palate delivers perky acidity and dusty, well-integrated tannins with a sappy, raspberry lolly character that keeps drawing you back. In short: we're obsessed.

This producer has never been the shy type, and this latest shiraz cabernet proves they're still up to no good - in the best possible way. Elegant, refined, but with that cheeky glint in the eye that says one more glass won’t hurt. It’s 90% shiraz swagger and 10% cabernet backbone - the perfect combo of lush black fruit, silky spice, and that little hit of cassis that keeps things interesting. Think rich berries, a hint of liquorice, a good lick of wood spice, and a finish smoother than a BB King solo.
