Allocations List
Polygon 1
The Polygon 1 allocation includes 3 bottles of the current vintage of Polygon 1 Shiraz, guaranteed for you each future release.
3 x 2019 Polygon 1 Shiraz - SOLD OUT!
Please join allocation for 2021 release in March 2024.
"Dark and pure and a touch smoky/reductive. Rocky, dark dust and also a little bit floral. Dark and with a touch of peony, so northern Rhône. If I had tasted this blind, I would have been in Côte Rôtie. Also a balsamic note. Layered, complex, hints of smoked meat. Juicy but with scratchy tannins. Tight and moreish and strong but very fine, highly toned but elegant. Tannins need time but they bottled this early to capture the aroma. Roundness from the fruit. So fresh and long. Clean in your mouth like dark chocolate, plenty of dark fruit but no Shiraz sweetness. More linear than broad. The tannins melt on the second day. Sheer, tender beauty." 17.5/20, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com

Polygon 3
The Polygon 3 allocation includes 3 bottles of the current vintage of Polygon 3 Grenache, guaranteed for you from each future release.
3 x 2020 Polygon Grenache
Praise for the previous vintage (2019)...
“Delicate yet formidable, this wine’s dense, multiple layers of complex texture and flavour speak eloquently. There’s fresh raspberry and graphite, rhubarb and red earth, dark plum and ironstone, and a suggestion of sage and nutmeg among blackberry bite, caressed by fine tannins. Sourced from only 200 vines planted in the 1950s, this 0.27ha micro-terroir boasts red-brown earth over limestone with traces of iron, providing fruit of rare depth and concentration. More sensuous and ethereal that its raw-boned sibling Alkina Polygon 5, but their common characteristic is extraordinary length of the purest flavours.” 98 points, David Sly, Decanter.com

Polygon 5
The Polygon 5 allocation includes 3 bottles of the current vintage of Polygon 5 Grenache, guaranteed for you from each future release.
3 x 2020 Polygon 5 Grenache
Praise for the previous vintage (2019)...
“The Polygon 5 is grown on a schist-dominant site, and the thread of tannin between the 2018 and 2019 shows a lineage of assertive, focused tannins. At no point, however, do they intrude on or impede the flow of the fruit. This 2019 Polygon 5 Grenache is supple, buoyant and spicy. It steps outside of the expected Grenache territory for the Barossa and treads a dangerously elegant and fine line. Thrilling. It has savory red fruits: salted redcurrants, pomegranate, raspberry. Wild. Layered. Earthy. Big, yes.” 96+ points, Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
