Other Reds

Burgundy, France.  The Moulin à Vent "Clos de Rochegrès" has a very nice garnet-red colour with crimson tints. It releases very fine aromas of flowers (rose) with a touch of mineral. The wine is generous and tender on the palate thanks to the elegant and long lasting tannins. This wine will perfectly match red meats in sauce, game and most cheeses...

Languedoc-Rousillon, France. Deep almost black colour. On the nose intense violet rose, fruity and spicy against a background of vanilla. The palate is opulent, vinous and balanced; 2-3 years to peak.

Cotes Du Rhone, France. Lunar Apogé is made in Roquemaure, France, where the Leperchois family has been making wine for centuries. In 1977, Christian Leperchois became a pioneer in his region by converting the estate to a fully organic/biodynamic process...

Western Australia, Deep, dense ruby and garnet in colour with characteristic Cabernet aromas of blackberry and blueberry fruits, and freshly rubbed dry herbs. The palate is rich and fleshy from the Merlot contribution, with juicy blackberry, fresh mushrooms and floral notes. Ripe, open-knit fruit tannins are well integrated with the use of fine grain French oak...

Toscana, Italy.  Sangiovese 90% & Canaiolo Nero 10% Ruby red with purplish reflexes. Intense and fruity (cherry and plum) aromas with touches of tobacco and moss. Balanced with good structure, with relevant tannic notes...

Waiheke Island, New Zealand. This wine is built with the Merlot component providing the fruit softness and lifted berry fruit aromas, the Cabernet Franc adding fragrant earthy notes and a sinewy structure. Malbec brings ripe tannins and intense floral aromas while the Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon add density and tannin weight to the wine...

Hunter Valley, New South Wales.  This merlot merlot is characterised by a fresh, fruit driven palate, with plums, black cherries and hints of vanilla. Minimum oak maturation has ensured subtle oak integration and soft silky tannins. A beautifully balanced wine to enjoy while fresh and youthful. Mid-term cellaring will reward with earthy, regional Hunter Valley complexities...

Eden Valley, South Australia.  Once part of an ancient sea bed, the thin loam soils sit above a substrate of red clay containing rose quartz and black mica schist fragments. In the heat of summer, cool breezes and low night temperatures promote long, slow ripening of fruit resulting in complex flavours with balanced acidity and fine, silky tannin...

Barossa Valley, South Australia.  Mataro gives roasted cumin, cinnamon, peppercorn and savoury profile that appears in abundance due to the cooler 2017 vintage. This lifted spice plays off with juicy black cherry Grenache aromatics and raspberry sweetness from the Tanunda Shiraz, A true reflection of the 2017 vintage where the volume on weight is turned down slightly, but allows the complexities of these aromatic varieties to abound. A firm tannin line suggests potential for time in the cellar...
