Rare Black 2021 Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - Single Vineyard
We’re excited to announce the release of our Rare Block 2021 Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon—the first vintage in three years, just in time for International Cabernet Day! We only bottle this wine in truly exceptional vintages, and 2021 was definitely worth the wait.
With only two barrels made from the low-yielding Rare Block, stocks are limited, so we recommend getting in early.
The Barossa Valley, quite rightly, trumpets its Shiraz wines to the world and generally leaves other regions to make the noise about Cabernet Sauvignon. Is this about to change I wonder?
Rare Black Cabernet Sauvignon is certainly raising the flag for Barossa Cabernet. The aroma is pure-play red capsicum; now there’s a varietal hallmark if ever there was one. The palate is medium-bodied with spicy, toasty French oak and coffee bean aromas and flavours.
The 2021 Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep, inky color with a complex bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and dark plum intertwined with subtle hints of mint, roasted red capsicum, and cedar. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with rich layers of blackberry, and dark chocolate, balanced by fine-grained tannins and a touch of earthiness. The finish is long and elegant, leaving lingering notes of ripe fruit and a whisper of spice. This wine showcases the hallmark power and structure of Barossa Cabernet, with the potential to develop even further over the next decade.

braised lamb shanks.

Unveiling The Mob Montepulciano: A Rare Limited Edition Wine
Welcome to the exclusive world of The Mob Montepulciano – a wine like no other, where rarity meets drama and a tale of triumph unfolds. With only 150 dozen bottles crafted, this extravagant wine is a true gem waiting to be savored by a fortunate few.
The Dramatic Story: In its inaugural year, a mischievous group of sheep, affectionately named "The Mob," managed to infiltrate our vineyard through a tiny gap in the fence. A tragedy befell the vines, leaving the tiny patch of estate devastated. However, these tough vines proved their resilience. Three years later, they delivered a crop of grapes second to none, a testament to the beauty of growing on ironstone and red clay. From central Italy, Montepulciano is celebrated for its savory tannins and juicy fruit.
Tasting Note: A deep, dark purple hue foretells the great potential of The Mob Montepulciano. Its intense aroma captivates with candied, dark fruits, cracked pepper, and mocha. Upon sipping, the wine seamlessly comes together. Medium-bodied with silky, savory tannins gracefully framing the fruit – blackberries, zippy raspberries, and succulent blueberries create an irresistible symphony.
Pairing: This red wine is tailor-made for umami-rich foods. Pair it with a succulent rack of lamb or indulge in the earthy goodness of a mushroom risotto for a culinary experience to remember.
Production: Limited to a mere 150 dozen bottles, each sip of The Mob Montepulciano is a true privilege.
Alcohol: 14%
Maturation: Aged for 18 months in a mix of 3rd and 4th fill French Oak Hogsheads, this wine bears subtle hints of oak, allowing the chewy raw tannins to soften out gracefully.
Viticulture: Our single cordon spur (hand) pruned vines ensure low yield and exceptional fruit quality, producing a mere 2 tonnes per acre.
Single Vineyard: Planted in 2009 on 1 hectare of land with scattered ironstone and shallow clay loam over white sandstone. Nestled on an east-facing slope in the Koonunga subregion, The Mob Montepulciano enjoys an elevation of 300 meters.
Cellaring: This wine is ready to be enjoyed now, yet its aging potential promises delightful evolution until 2030.

Background/Story: |
Andy has adopted Montepulciano along with a swathe of other Italian varieties, introduced them to his family’s Barossa vineyards and is making the wine with his usual flair. But it was a close run thing with the Montepulciano; a mob of excited sheep nearly grazed the young vines to death. Resurrected, and I suppose, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, the 2016 vintage has produced a cracking wine. |

Background/Story: |
Durif is one of Australia’s undiscovered gems. People in the know, we suspect, keep quiet about it so as not to arouse too much competition for what is, after all, a scarce bottle of wine. Atze’s Corner is one of the only wineries in the Barossa Valley to have planted Durif and based on this result more should follow. Mind you, Andy Kalleske did plant his Durif on prime vineyard land in 200 dozen bottles produced |

Although the Barossa (and Atze’s Corner) is better known for its Shiraz, this Cab is an absolute stunner! Very deep in colour as its name suggests, the nose is complex with hints of cedar, Huon pine, eucalyptus and coffee bean, along with a vegetal twist of freshly chopped red capsicum. The taste is a mix of black fruits, mocha, and dark chocolate. Velvety tannins and a long finish like rolling thunder underscore the opulence of this absolutely delicious drop!
AustraliaRarely have I come across a black ink coloured red that tantalises the nostrils yet delivers so much more. The palate lingers long after the paired food disappears whilst calling out for more food and another sip. Amazing!
