Tuscany, Italy. Rich, concentrated and muscular, yet wonderfully balanced with big tannins and deep tiers of cherry, plums and wild berries, and nuances of spice, vanilla and licorice. A long flavorful aftertaste echoes with juicy fruit and mouthwatering tannins for minutes afterwards. Sensual and young, this wine promises a long life in the bottle...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Some peppery whole bunch lift, dark chocolate, mint and liquorice, black fruit and framboise – stuff like that. Then round and chewy, with sweet nutty fruit, grainy tannin, fresh through the middle and long at the back. Unusually savoury too. That’s really really good. So much character and life to this wine...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. This wine is a fresh and exciting representation of Mataro. The opening bouquet is full of blueberries and jubes. Gently savory though classy.

Barossa Valley, South Australia. "This is a svelte, stylish, easy-drinking red wine with just enough in-built complexity to set it apart from the norm. It won’t scare any horses but nor will it put anyone to sleep. On the latter point: the alcohol has been nicely tamed too.
