AT Shiraz back from tour

News update

AT certainly had some adventures, which we were very grateful to have been able to join him on. It is not lost on us how lucky we were to have this opportunity to get away for the 8 weeks when we did and be able to avoid all the chaos, hot spots and border closures.

For those who missed the social media journey, check it out on our Instagram or Facebook.

On our return we were stocked to learn that our first ever rating with James Halliday gave us two solid scores for our AT Shiraz. Sadly our 2018 sold out before this announcement but the 2019 which scored a solid 92, is available and with the current 10% off lockdown sale it is a good opportunity to buy now.

  • Premium Miners Ridge A.T Shiraz
  • 2018 AT Shiraz
2018 AT Shiraz – Comes with an impressive wine show record at the 2020 Western Victorian Wine Challenge picking up trophy for Best Shiraz, Best Single Vineyard Wine of Show and Best Wine of Show. Only 35 cases produced. Ripe loganberry, black cherry, bakery spices, chocolate, dusty oak with an almost quiet restraint and finesse. Carries its 14.5% alcohol very well. Integrated tannins, velvety in texture and with a long finish. Wine of the show indeed!
Jeni Port
2019 AT Shiraz – was awarded a silver with a score of 92 points and Miners Ridge is now a 4.5 star winery.
While we wait for some of our other varieties to become available we do have our 2018 Cabernet and are excited to release our new 2021 Riesling.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us during lockdown and purchased wine from us. We really do appreciate your support, particularly for those new customers who took a chance on us as a relatively new and unknown winery.

A.T Shiraz on tour again

News update

For those of you who follow us on Instagram and Facebook you may remember a couple of years ago, Andrew and I took the A.T Shiraz for a trip to the Northern Territory.  After a break from travel in 2020, the A.T Shiraz will be back on tour in July and August this year.  Originally planning on taking it West, we are now unsure which direction we are going! Mystery A.T Shiraz tour! Follow our adventures on our socials to see where it pops up!

95 Halliday points

In addition to being a trophy winning wine we are also pretty chuffed that our 2018 AT Shiraz has been awarded 95 points by James Halliday and recently appeared in the Halliday Companion cellaring issue.  
Our 2019 A.T. Shiraz is shaping up to be a cracker too!
To order either of these wines, get in quick!
