Organic and Biodynamic Wines

McLaren Vale, South Australia. This wine shows so much flavour and character for a wine that is completely unoaked. ‘Four o’clock’ is pretty versatile, too; great as an aperitif (don’t serve too chilled) and wonderful with a range of foods: roast chicken and mushroom risotto is my standard food matching suggestion...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. You can smell fresh strawberries, watermelon rind and a hint of ginger on the nose, and fresh red fruits on the palate. Serve chilled as an aperitif or with a variety of foods such as cheese, a crab salad or the traditional caramelised onion tart from the south of France, pissaladière...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. ‘Poppy’ has a delicate nose of pear skin and citrus, a delicious combination which pervades the palate, too. This wine is perfect as an aperitif, or terrific with sushi or creamy soft white cow cheeses...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. This is a lovely fresh bright Shiraz, true to region and variety. There are bright red and some dark fruits on the nose, a hint of chocolate and a mere whiff of oak. The tannins in the mouth are smooth and overall the wine is fresh, juicy and quite delicious. Try it with a Tuscan pepper stew or Peposo and if you have enough Scarlet Runner, you could use it to make the dish, too!...

Derwent Valley, Tasmania. ts point of difference from the Estate label is stylistic; this is made to provide immediate, luscious pleasure. Firm and powdery tannins with a great generosity of fruit flavour...

Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, Spain. This blend is predominately Tempranillo and Syrah but also includes a small proportion of a number of others. A wonderful, vibrant deep purple colour with rich, ripe spicy and brambly fruit, rounded tannins and a lively finish...

Spain. Inspired by Spain's largely untapped fine wine resources, friends, colleagues and Masters of Wine, Fergal Tynan and Giles Cooke set off on a journey to find the unsung heroes of Spain, be they regions, growers or winemakers...

Marlborough, New Zealand. The first thing you will notice is the intense aroma of this wine. Tropical fruits with a citrus finish that makes the wine last in the mouth. There is great weight on the palate with a texture that makes you want to go back for more. This wine will drink well anytime complementing white meats, salads and seafood...

Gippsland, Victoria. "Just a lovely feeling, delicious drinking, quietly complex wine. Whiffs of savoury nuttiness over faint pear juice and floral notes in bouquet. Burst of crisp flavour in the palate, lacy in texture, charged with crushed slate-like mineral inflection, finishes with star burst of grapefruity acidity. Fine, frisky, tense and refreshing. Very good, anyway you look at it..."

Macedonia, Northern Greece. Thymiopoulos is situated an hour's drive west of the regional capital Thessaloniki and in 1971 was given appellation status and paved way for rest of Greece. The classic Naoussa wine is a structured, savory red made exclusively from Macedonia's flagship red-wine grape Xynomavro...
