The 2015 Black Mares is 100% Pyrenees Shiraz, grown at Equus Wines, mixed with 25% whole bunch Tandamuki Shiraz.
Lovely fruit on front palate and great complexity for a young Shiraz. One of our best selling wines.

Equus Nebbiolo 2015
This Equus Nebbiolo is made from 100% Pyrenees Nebbiolo grapes.
A middle weight Nebbiolo. Dry tannins, leather, spice and beautifully weighted fruit. One for the serious wine consumer.
Ambience Rosé 2016 (Nebbiolo)
This Ambience Rose is made from a Nebbiolo base.
Such a sophisticated Rosé. Dry and drier, influenced by a percentage having barrel time.
The Scarlett Davis Cabernet 2014
The Scarlett Davis is made from 100% Pyrenees Cabernet.
A lighter Cabernet. Smooth, just the right level of tannins. Great to convince those who reckon Cabernet should only be opened in winter.
L’Impératrice Syrah 2014
The 2014 L’Impératrice (the Empress) is a Syrah blend consisting of 80% Shiraz and 20% Cabernet.
A complex nose, reflecting the shiraz fruit with dominant liquorice and complex spices. Another favourite at the cellar door, each time we open a bottle the depth of the wine has grown.
Drinking beautifully now, will continue to develop over the next decade.
The label pictures Empress Eugenie, married to Napoleon III. Her grandfather was William Kirkpatrick. William was a wine negotiant and vigneron in Malaga, Spain. This family relationship to the owners of Equus @ Moonambel inspired our premium range of Syrah.
L’Impératrice Syrah 2010
The 2010 L’Impératrice is a Syrah blend consisting of 80% Shiraz and 20% Cabernet grown at the Equus @ Moonambel Vineyard.
Definitely a unique wine as the shiraz and cabernet grapes were picked on the same day and co-fermented. This has produced a velvety smooth, very full-bodied, plummy, spicy wine.
Alcohol is restrained at 13.7% and the tannins are beautifully balanced on the back palate. An elegant wine.

Classico Sangiovese 2012
The 2012 Classico is 100% Pyrenees Sangiovese.
Rather than harp on about the 2012 Classico ourselves, we thought we’d quote the Mike Bennie review in *Winefront:
“Shows some of the maturity in bottle with figs and dates and prune-ish scents amongst the primary stuff of cherries and twigs and sage …web of suede tannins, and the flavours are dry-ish fruit spectrum with cranberry acidity assisting. Splays and spreads through the mouth, feels good to drink, in the zone for charisma. Nice.” 91 points. *Equus @ Moonambel is a Winefront subscriber.
The perfect accompaniment for pasta dishes and dressed salads.
