Atlas are a new boutique producer based in the Clare Valley. Their first releases, including this Clare Shiraz, are already generating some excitement in the wine world. Maker Adam Barton has produced a truly regional Shiraz with sensitive oak treatment. It will only get better in the short to mid term. -JP

Another ripper of wine from Atlas, this time made from grapes hand-picked off of 50 year old vines in the Ebenezer sub-region of the Barossa. It is basket pressed and matured in fine-grain French Oak. There's already a lot of pleasure to be had here, but the wine will only get better if you lay some down. -JP
