These limited-release wines are handcrafted in small batch and are only made in exceptional vintages.
This year, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of CLUB EQUUS and to mark this momentous occasion, we proudly share with you two extraordinary wines in the EQUUS Series XV.

Approachable for your enjoyment now, these wines are however meticulously crafted with longevity in mind. We honour the traditions of winemaking from grape to bottle, ensuring that every step is executed with unwavering precision.
Tasting Note
Elegant, rich and refined. Decadent red fruits are beautifully balanced with a rich and textural palate, the fine tannins give a silky long and lingering finish
Winemaker’s Note
Sourced from the Old Barn, Rivers End Vineyard, Langhorne Creek, SA.
The vines were planted into limestone over a red brown sandy clay loam. Receiving minimal irrigation and naturally producing low yields of small, flavourful berries in open bunches. Renowned for producing powerful and intensely flavoured Shiraz.
This spectacular wine spent 20 months in a single French Oak Foudre (2500Lt) revealing a wine of finesse and elegance.
In keeping with our commitment to preserving tradition, the 2021 Shiraz from the EQUUS Collection is lovingly bottled in a robust, premium ‘Thor’ glass bottle. Sealed with a wax seal and cork of the highest quality. We emphasise the importance of storing this remarkable wine lying down to prevent any cork shrinkage.
Only 250 cases of this wine were produced.
