A New Chapter: Resilience, Luck, and a Sneak Peek at What’s Next

The recent bushfires have left a mark on our community that won’t soon be forgotten. While we feel incredibly fortunate to share that we remained physically unscathed by the fires, the aftermath has dealt a significant blow to the local industry.

The tragic destruction of the Harcourt Cool-store has impacted over 90 local businesses—and unfortunately, we are among them.

The Bittersweet News: Stock Up While You Can

The loss of the cool-store means we have officially lost our remaining inventory of two fan favorites:

Because these stores were lost to the fire, what we currently have on our shelves is all that remains. If these are your go-to drops, we highly recommend stocking up now, as supplies are extremely limited and we won’t be able to restock these specific vintages.


A Stroke of "Lazy" Luck

In the midst of the heartbreak, there is a silver lining—and we have Spencer (the busiest man on Planet Shiraz) to thank for it.

In a twist of fate, the Tempranillo Reserve was completely untouched. Why? Because Spencer "couldn’t be bothered" driving two loads all the way to Harcourt that day. He opted to store the Reserve in Heathcote instead. It turns out that a moment of exhaustion was actually a stroke of genius! Tempranillo Reserve drinkers, you can officially breathe a sigh of relief.


Looking Forward: A Fresh Identity

While losing our stock is a setback, we're choosing to look at the glass half full. This impact has accelerated our timeline for some very exciting changes.

We are fast-tracking the production of brand-new wines and—even more excitingly—unveiling a complete brand evolution. We’ve been working behind the scenes on a new look that captures where we are headed, and we couldn't wait any longer to share it with you.

Sneak Peek: Check out the image below for a first look at the new direction of our branding.

We are so grateful for this community's support as we navigate these changes. Stay tuned for more updates on the new releases coming your way soon!
