  • Adelaide Hills
  • Shiraz is possibly the most identifiable red to emanate from South Australia, with the McLaren Vale region crafting its fine reputation from this seriously impressive grape variety. The Mediterranean-like climate provides the perfect incubator for densely flavoured and richly coloured Shiraz. The Long Yarn Shiraz is a delightful wine, full of youthful energy that will have your taste buds zinging.
  • The wine is a dense magenta colour in the glass, with velveteen tannins tickling the mid-palate. Flavour highlights include dark fruits, black cherry and liquorice, whilst the nose is tantalised by a charry smoky essence derived from time spent in oak prior to bottling. A great all-rounder wine that pairs well with red meats.

  • Long Yarn
  • Adelaide Hills
  • Pinot Noir is the crowd pleaser, the fabulous all-rounder of red varieties. It certainly won’t overbear those unaccustomed to the ballsy Australian reds. Yet it won’t underwhelm for the seasoned Pinot Noir veteran. With a lighter disposition compared to the Shiraz’s and Cabernet Sauvignons, it ranks high in the drinkability stakes and will have you coming back for more.
  • The Long Yarn Pinot Noir is an easy drinking wine, with hints of vanilla and leather on the nose, and a dense crimson-ruby colour in the glass. The Winemaker Jess Hardy has crafted this light-bodied wine to harness the blackcurrant and black fruit flavours, whilst maintaining the smooth personality that is Pinot Noir. This wine pairs well with Asian cuisine, or just drink it on its own at a lazy Sunday picnic!

  • Winemaker Jess Hardy seems to have cast a bit of a spell on us here at Wine Brothers. That or she is just a bloody good winemaker. She has produced what can only be described as an awesome and intriguing blend in an awesome and intriguing bottle. Can you guess the ratio of each grape? By the way, this wine was picked by members of our Wine Club as a must have in their next pack and we couldn't agree more.

  • When Harry met Sally. When Lennon met McCartney. When Trump met Putin. Not quite, but you get the point. A bloody good combination that is ready take over the world. This wine will conquer all it comes across - Wine Brothers is super proud to be bringing it to Hong Kong.
  • A hearty amount of Coonawarra Cabernet combined with Shiraz from some of McLaren Vale’s oldest vines come together to produce this medium-bodied, dry red wine. The dominant Cabernet Sauvignon provides the tannins and framework whilst the Shiraz adds a layer of warmth and spice to the palate. Complex and yet immensely drinkable, this wine can also be cellared, albeit the need is questionable.

  • McLaren Vale
  • Our first ever Merlot. Cherry = popped

  • This Merlot is not for the faint-hearted. L-Platers, take off your training wheels, it's time to party with the big boys (or brothers). We thought it was about time the great people of Hong Kong got their hands on a Merlot with some grunt, so we went and got you one with the whole engine room. This Merlot is a conversation starter, and it's scrumptious to boot!

  • A big, strong and robust interpretation of the Merlot variety. This wine is full bodied and loaded with flavour and tannins. Think earthy characters, warmed fruits and hints of chocolate with a long lingering finish. It bordering on the dry side, making it even better in the company of food. Winemaker Steve Grimley set out to challenge the perception that merlots are always soft, fruity and easily approachable and we think he has done a bloody good job. The result is a wine has beautiful complexity, certainly worth exploring with some hearty food and decent company

2015 5OS Project Nero Blend (6 Pack - $185 per bottle)

5OS

$1,110.00

Late last year we introduced you to the wonderful world of Nero. And it went bang! In just three short months, we sold out of all our precious stock and left our customers wanting more... 

We have answered your call!

A series of Italian varieties grown in the heart of McLaren Vale, this beauty is unique before you even crack the top (Beauty refers to the wine and/or the lady on the label. Your choice). 

With drinkability as the benchmark, the Nero get's a 10/10 from us. 

A blend of Nero d’Avola, Touriga, Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Sagrantino. A savoury European styled wine. Medium bodied with a touch of dry tannins but countering sweetness from the fruit.

Clean and crisp but alluring and very drinkable in its youth.

2015 HH Mongrel Sangiovese (6 Pack - $200 per bottle)

Hugh Hamilton

$1,200.00

• Description

• • Sangiovese 2015
  • HUGH HAMILTON
  • McLaren Vale

• • Sangiovese is a grape that has a lot going for it - a superstar in its own right. Its natural acidity means it brings an interesting and lively palate to the party. Invite a splash of world class South Australian Shiraz (8%), a dash of Tempranillo (6%) and we are now talking. This wine is the purest breed Mongrel ever to exist, and may even force our friends at Oxford to redefine the word itself. 
• • "A decade ago in Australia, fresh young reds were rare, and rarely taken seriously. These days they are more common, and critics pay much more attention! We are not after attention per se; our aim is to take the best of Sangiovese - always the core of ‘The Mongrel’ - and build on it, in a perfumed, savoury, unchallenging style: fresh, bright and lively!." -Hugh Hamilton, Winemaker
  • Pair with a simple pasta e polpette (meat-balls) dish with grated parmesan and fresh parsley (tannin and acid are natural friends if you have a little oil in a dish...) In fact, any rich, tomato-based dish will be a perfect match.

2015 HH Rascal Shiraz (6 Pack - $220 Per Bottle)

  • HUGH HAMILTON
  • McLaren Vale

• • “Shiraz and McLaren Vale”. A famous pairing. Are there others? The Royal Family and Corgis? Gin and Tonic? Bogart and Bacall? But why the connection?
    
    Pedigree and history: the variety has shown its suitability for so long to the region’s maritime but warm climate, and old yet well-preserved soils, that it’s hard to imagine one without the other. Shiraz in McLaren Vale grows well, always ripens, and with correct vineyard management, produces wines of great depth, flavour and structure. A true Wine Brothers favourite!
  • "A core quality of good wine is consistency between nose and palate, and that’s what ‘The Rascal’ delivers. Richly lifted violets and fine French oak combine with fresh cracked pepper, spice, and lush fruit. Tremendous depth of flavour on the palate mirrors the aromatics, amplifying the spice and fruit volume. All framed tightly within a supple fine texture. While we love and respect the notion of single-vineyard wines, ‘The Rascal’ benefits from being a blend of several sites." - Hugh Hamilton, Winemaker

2014 HH Black Ops Shiraz Saperavi (6 Pack - $230 Per bottle)

Hugh Hamilton

$1,380.00

• Description

• • Shiraz Saperavi 2014
  • HUGH HAMILTON
  • McLaren Vale

• • We Wine Brothers love a Black Operation...
    
    You don’t need to know much, other than the ‘Black Ops’ side of this wine is the blending of Australia’s great red grape, Shiraz (85%), with that of Georgia (the former Soviet republic): Saperavi (15%). It’s a Dark Art, blending, and in this case it has produced something rare and special. When was it done? Shortly before bottling, after the wines had been matured in barrel. Hugh wanted to be sure they’d work as a team, and not assassinate each other as soon as he turned his back.
  • "The Shiraz I chose for this was not the biggest, boldest, most structured I could find. No - I looked through the barrels for voluminous fruit, spice, roundness and suppleness. That’s why you can drink it now. Each variety is pulling its weight in contributing to a very successful operation here." - Hugh Hamilton, Winemaker
  • This wine is a fascinating mixture of the red and black berries of Shiraz; with a whiff of liquorice which is text-book McLaren Vale Shiraz. And the Saperavi? Look for the spices underlying the liquorice of the Shiraz. And an ever-so-subtle hint of chocolatey oak.
