It's hard to believe how great these wines are, especially for the prices (I know it sounds like promotional puffery!) but these are truly great vintage marques from famous and classic wine craftspeople. I find it hard to describe the pleasure and pride in Australian wine that these super quality wines give me. They are not just deserving of their lofty scores, but they are classy and powerful examples truly deserving of their benchmark reputations.

Craiglee is one of Australia's finest producers, but constantly flies under the radar. A great thing for fans and those in the know, as it has resulted in some of Australia's finest and most unique shiraz remaining somewhat available, and more importantly, incredibly reasonably priced. I remember John Brown Sr (of Brown Brothers) telling me many years ago that he was so impressed by a hundred-year-old bottle of Craiglee that he convinced a young Pat Carmody, an agricultural science student working his family farm on the site of the old vineyard, to replant vines at the site. Fast-forward to today, and the ever so laconic, but razor sharp Pat is still making wine from estate-grown, hand-picked fruit in the same bluestone winery built over 150 years ago. If one is looking for a definitive example of Victorian shiraz, look no further.  Randall

Rob is a winemaking gun with considerable experience in the Yarra Valley, previously having worked at Mount Mary and Kellybrook. He acquired the vineyard on his childhood property planted by his mum Harriet in 1996 (the wine is labelled as Harriet's Vineyard today), and he has since gone on to lease other vineyards across the valley. His deep experience and connection to place allows Rob to produce wines of immense character and style, while always remaining on the cutting edge of winemaking. These wines are seriously under-priced for the quality!
