Hurry! Last bottles!
Celebrating 5 YEARS OF GOLD FOR LA RÉSISTANCE!! Our yet-to-be-released 2024 La Résistance Barossa GSM has just taken home GOLD + 95 points at the 2026 Royal Queensland Wine Awards, .
That makes five consecutive vintages of La Résistance (2020–2024) to win Gold across some of the Australia’s and the world's most respected wine shows, from Decanter and the London Wine Competition to New Zealand's New World Wine Awards... and now Royal Queensland.
Not that we're counting. (OK... we're definitely counting.)

96pts “Bountiful fresh cherries and raspberries burst over the vanilla chocolate intensity. Weighty and complex with lush tannins and a vibrant acidity woven into the frame.” - Decanter World Wine Awards 2025
95pts+ "
What a cracking grenache, shiraz and mourvédre blend! Medium crimson with vibrant raspberry, blackberry and blueberry aromas, with baking spices, peppercorn, graphite, dried citrus rind and purple florals. Juicy, dark and blue fruits on the palate with the most powdery of tannin clouds, bright acidity and a long draw of juicy, spicy fruit. It's just so damn easy to drink. Woah!" - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
95pts "
Medium-deep crimson. Lovely raspberry, blackberry pastille aromas with roasted walnut, hint peppery notes. Red and black fruits on the palate with roasted nut, hint wax polish notes. Finishes chalky/ al dente firm and crunchy with peppery/ spicy notes. Lovely fruit complexity and vigour. A cracker at this price point. Drink now–2030" - Andrew Caillard MW & Ken Gargett, Vintage Wine Journal
"Spicy and lifted aromas of black cherries, mulberries, coffee beans, dried herbs and spice. The palate is bright and fresh, with finely framed tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of plums, charcuterie and blueberry compote. Nicely balanced and plush." - James Suckling

GOLD MEDAL - London Wine Competition 2024
GOLD MEDAL +95pts - New World Wine Awards NZ 2024
93pts + 5 ⭐️ "Sweetly ripe and inviting with dark plum, cherry, thyme, warm spice, and rich floral aromas on the nose. It's succulent and supple in the mouth, delivering smooth texture and fine tannins, finishing supple and delectable. At its best: now to 2032." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
92pts + SILVER - Halliday's 100 New Australian Wines 2024
"Team Chaffey Bros has been consistently releasing some pretty delicious wines of late. Wines of funk and crunch and a sense of effortless drinkability. Ditto this release, which is old-vine Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre matured in seasoned French oak for nine months. Dark cherry and blood plum dredged with spice, purple floral tones, ironstone and whiffs of berry flan. Bright, just the right amount of crunch and damn fine drinkin'" - Dave Brookes, Halliday
92pts "Tea cake spices, cuddly dark red plum and cherry fruits, rose petals, nutty sweet oak influence kissed by char and a stony turned earth base. Initial fruit generosity gets bound by tension and focus. Firm tannins and refreshing, cooling acidity cleaning up the tail replete with red fruit and dried petal echoes. Match up with lamb steaks or put it in the cellar for a couple of years." - Regan Drew, vinonotebook.com
91 pts "Pretty aromas of dried flowers, cherry, mulberry, sweet spice and earth. Flavours are firm, mouth-filling and meaty, with chalky tannins delivering structure and savouriness on the finish. There's a decent core of blue and dark fruits and the acidity ensures freshness and life. A really smart wine and good value." - Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
