Barossa Valley, South Australia. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot has a deep brooding black cherry colour. The nose shows classical aromas of black currant and plums with a hint of violets.

Barossa Valley, South Australia.  This is best value OZ Tempranillo we have tasted. The colour is typically deep, leading to a bouquet of dark plum and cherry and finishing with characteristically firm, chalky tannins. This is a full bodied red wine suited to rustic, red meat dishes and it certainly has the potential to age beautifully in the bottle for a number of years...

Languedoc, France. Exhibiting characteristics that are very similar to that of Pinot Noir. Gamay is a light-bodied, fruity red with tart flavors of cherries and raspberries...

Rhone Valley, France. Hand harvests and traditional winemaking processes give a wine with red and black fruits aromas (blackberry and plum). A sweet touch of liquorice plus spice add layers to the sumptuous palate. A mouth filling wine in a pure Rhône style...

Rhone Valley, France. Well this is a bold, juicy mass of Grenache. Dark cherry and plum, liquorice, saucy spice, almost a violet perfume too. Full bodied, fleshy and rich with a ripe mass of tannin, while stone and dried herb cinches it in. Finishes long and succulent, with a wisp of smoke in the aftertaste. Still looking young and vigorous, and likely even better in a few years...

Rhone Valley, France. Notes of garrigues & red fruits, along with a round and tasty struture
Plum marmalade, vanilla and blackcurrant highlight the finesse of the soft tannins. On the finish, scents of thyme, laurel and rosemary reveal an original and aromatic bouquet ending on a spicy persistency (black pepper). Appreciate on a beef stew with a Rosemary blade, try the match with a vanilla ice cream with its strawberry purée. Drink it now or within the next 5 years...
