Here are the details of our 2001-8 vintages, including region, Winemaker and Winemakers notes where possible. Also see our list of wine show awards. 2010 THE MELEE | NEW RELEASE This is blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, LaGrein, Shiraz, and Touriga. This wine is crimson red in colour. The nose is bursting with exotic berries – blueberry, cranberry & strawberry to name a few, along with cassis derived from some ripe Barossa Cabernet. The palate is full of the same “juicy” wild berry flavours with just enough acid and tannin to prevent it from being just another Aussie fruit bomb. Delicious. More notes coming.. 2009 The Marriage Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon | NEW RELEASEThis second vintage 2009 The Marriage is a production of 130 dozen. This new release is a wine which speaks of the essence of the regions from which it is sourced and the varietals that have made them famous. Vineyard Region: BAROSSA VALLEY and COONAWARRA The shiraz is sourced from our estate vineyards which are nestled in the sub-region of Dorrien at 250m above sea level. This is a prime location for our premium vineyard due to the climactic and soil aspects conducive to grape growing. The cabernet sauvignon is sourced from a vineyard in the Coonawarra where the terra rosa soils give the wine that true earthy character that the Coonawarra has become renowned for. Grape Variety: SHIRAZ Maturation: The shiraz is matured predominately in new French oak for 21 months. The medium toast long (MTL) barriques are chosen for their roasted toast characteristics, which adds complexity and a fuller mid palate. Winemaker: Neil Pike, Clare Valley Winemaker Notes Co lou r: Deep red . Palate: The palate is rich, soft and virtually seamless, with neither variety overwhelming the other. Subtle oak again complements the fruit, whilst the tannins add backbone and length. Wine Analysis: 1 4.5 % Alc/vol. 2009 Paulmara Estates Syna Shiraz | NEW RELEASEOur 2009 Syna Shiraz demonstrates our continued commitment to quality. In the pursuit of achieving excellence we have selected these grapes from our low-yielding vines for their intensity in fruit character. This 2009 Syna Shiraz is a Limited Release of only 294 bottles. Vineyard Region: BAROSSA VALLEY Nestled in the sub-region of Dorrien at 250m above sea level, this is a prime location for our premium vineyard due to the climactic and soil aspects conducive to grape growing. Grape Variety: SHIRAZ Maturation: Matured predominately in new French oak for 21 months. The medium toast long (MTL) barriques are chosen for their roasted toast characteristics, which add complexity and a fuller mid palate. Winemaker: Neil Pike, Clare Valley Winemaker Notes C lou r: Deep red, almost black. Palate: The palate is all ripe fruits and mocha on the nose, but has enough silky tannins that add acid to provide a substantial backbone to the finish. Aging potential : Approachable now, but 5-10 years cellared in a dark place will reward those who can refrain from drinking it now. This is lovely rich, ripe Barossa shiraz with good structure. Wine Analysis: 2008 Paulmara Estates “The Marriage" | SOLD OUT We are so excited to announce a new label under our Paulmara Estates range. “The Marriage” is a 60% Shiraz/40% Cabernet Sauvignon blend.

Rich ripe blackberry and plum fruits from the Barossa shiraz, with a touch of blackcurrant/cassis from the Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and complemented by refined, well integrated toasty, cherry oak. The palate is rich, soft and virtually seamless, with neither variety overwhelming the other. Subtle oak again complements the fruit, whilst the tannins add backbone and length. We promise you won’t be disappointed! Our 2008 Syna Shiraz demonstrates our continued commitment to quality. In the pursuit of achieving
