"I often think of The Aberfeldy as the Clare Valley's Grange. Aside from the fact that it's from a single region and much less than one tenth of the price. It's a flagship wine that's easy enough to enjoy now, or much later. Blackberry, dark cherry, cloves, sage, coconut, dark mint chocolate, spice - it's all go. Full-bodied, lush smooth tannin, silky feel with rich fruit, backed with toasty spiced oak. Smooth powdery tannin carries the finish long and while there's a little warmth, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Does that make sense? Well, at least it sounds impressive. As is the wine. 94 points." Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
The Aberfeldy has long been synonymous with quality, representing our flagship wine. Year after year, this wine continues to deliver the best that Clare Valley Shiraz has to offer.
The Aberfeldy has a vibrant magenta hue. The nose has aromas of ripe cherry, plum, dark berries complemented by rich chocolate, clove, nutmeg, and vanilla from its maturation in new and used American oak.
The palate is full bodied and powerful with concentrated flavors of dark berry, conserve, blackberry, and dark cherry. The texture is sumptuous, with firm yet polished tannins that provide structure and a silky, smooth mouthfeel The wine has persistent length of sweet fruit and oak, with power, elegance and great finesse.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with concentrated flavors of dark berry conserve, blackberry, and dark cherry. The texture is sumptuous, oak ageing contributing toasty spice with a hint of coconut.
The firm, yet polished, tannins provide structure and a silky, smooth mouthfeel, while the finish is long, elegant and persistent with great power and finesse.
This vintage is elegant enough to enjoy now—especially after decanting—but has the structure and complexity to age gracefully for up to 25 years in optimal conditions
The Aberfeldy has become an iconic Australian Shiraz, consistently collecting Gold medals at the International Wine Challenge in London.

Delivery was fast and efficient, ordered on 01/09 and received on 03/09. I haven't tasted the 2019 Aberfeldy, but based on previous vintages, I am certain it will be excellent. The Tim Adams 2022 Shiraz and 2024 Pinot Gris were delivered at the same time and I can recommend both. The wines are great immediate drinking, exhibiting their respective varietal characteristics, but also have the capability of providing enjoyment for the next few years, provided I can keep my hands off them!
Superb latest version of this excellent wine, full-bodied, excellent fruit and spice Shiraz characteristics. A pleasure to drink on its own or with rich food.
Efficiently managed delivery as always. Looking forward to the wine in a few years time!
This is one of the few good quality full body Aussie red wines you can really get in the UK. I am so happy and proud to share the Aberfeldy to my friends in London.
Yet another fantastic Aberfeldy Shiraz from Tim Adams. This vintage is superb! Beautifully balanced, silky smooth, heavenly aromas and easily one of the best Australian Shiraz's to drink. The sumptuous taste of dark red berries with a hint of chocolate and spice make this a joy to drink with dinner or enjoy it by itself.
