A unique Australian red wine blend from Yarra Valley using grapes that are wild fermented with 10 months cask maturation before release. A gently aromatic nose of red fruits and dry herb with some earthy, mineral complexity precede a supple, textural palate bringing cherry-like fruits, earth and forest notes with lots of spice and perky acidity.

Firm juicy red and black plums. Sweet spice. Fine grained tannin. Fresh, and youthful. A High 2.1 Rating by our buying team. Well rated by Jane Anson and Jancis Robinson, which is always enough for me to take the wine seriously.

Family Hasselbach of the Gunderloch Estate own around 4.5 hectares of this prime vineyard made up predominantly of very steep parcels. It yields wines of striking mineral character paired with a broad spectrum of expressive spice and fruit aromas.

Jancis 17 "Quite dark crimson. Lots of fruit and jolliness. A little dry on the end but full of effort and ambition. And a proper expression of the climat. Very long." Utterly utterly gorgeous. Delicate, svelte, autumnal, normally retails £50+

92-93 CWM rating. Extracted cherry fruit, very ripe aromas and flavours, good length, low acid but some subtlety. Very appealing. Persistent. Sylviane Garcin-Cathiard owns properties in Pomerol, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru and Pessac-Léognan, and we love them all for their exuberant pleasure-giving wines. In Pessac she operates Château Haut-Bergey, around 40 ha acquired in 1991, Her son Paul is now in charge.

Introductory price of £19.99 A blend of traditional Douro red grape varieties, led by the perfumed Touriga Nacional, with the addition of 20% Syrah, a variety which Quinta do Noval believes is perfectly suited to the climate and soils of the Douro. The wine is aged for 10 months in French oak barrels, 12 % in new barrels. The nose reveals spicy aromas, followed by chewy flavors of chocolate, and dark plum. A firm acidity on the palate, slightly smoky finish which enhances the purity and the freshness of the fruit.

Pungent aromas of plum, wild strawberries, cherry and toasted spice. An elegant palate, with soft, velvety tannins, and a refreshingly fruity finish. Subtle touches of spice come from 10% of wine being aged for three months in Oak.

This iconic Argentinean red is made in a modern style by the famed French wine consultant, Michel Rolland, who is a part owner of Clos de Los Siete. Rich and satisfying and great to drink on its own or with meaty dishes. A blend of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet, Syrah, Petit Verdot and even a dash of Cabernet Franc Clos de los Siete is the result of a venture undertaken by a group of French winegrowers. It is located at the foot the Andes mountain range, in the heart of the Uco Valley, at the district of Vista Flores, Tunuyán. The vineyards spread across 850 hectares (2100 acres) at an altitude of 1,000-1,200 metres above sea level.

Old Blocks Pinotage forms part of Darling Cellars' Reserve range of straight varietals with a focus on fruit driven, varietal true, value for money wines. Expressive and complex on the nose with flavours of red berries, black cherries, vanilla, butterscotch, red plums, coffee and nuances of strawberries. On the palate the flavours follow through with good structure and silky tannins. A really balanced wine with elegance and a lengthy aftertaste.

This vibrant pale ruby red comes from South Africa's most fashionable varietal Cinsault. The vines are mostly 65 year old bush vines from hidden corners of the Cape. No irrigation is used on the vineyards meaning lovely concentration without extraction and the wine is very approachable young. Particulalry lovely with duck.

A harmonious Malbec, packed full of blueberry, blackcurrant and plum and a complex and delicious finish. Vegan.

Classical blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo and 5% Graciano. Deep crimson. Lovely, lots of earth, grainy and rich and very very racy. Refined and polished

A nose full of black and red fruit combined with spicy aromas. Very fresh but rounded as well with elegant fruit and acidity. An excellent example of Malbec from the Uco Valley.

The John X Merriman is a powerful wine that rewards aging. In its youth the wine is worth decanting and expresses cassis, black currant and dark fruits complemented with cigar tobacco and sour cherrynotes. As the wine ages and its fine grained tannins soften a softer more savoury palate develops revealing wonderful drinkabilityand tertiary complexity.

Jean Christophe Meyrot, ex La Violette. Full on but good structure. Juicy palate. Certainly ripe. Powerful, bruising tannin. Warm, good acid, persistent. More powerful than elegant. Forthright.

The great undervalued variety of Mataro, a Spanish synonym widely used in the Barossa for the French variety Mourvedre, has long held a fascination for Tim Smith. In the great years, TSW Mataro has the classic varietal aromas of Chinese-5-spice, liquorice and dark berry fruits. The palate is at once spicy, with lively defining tannins due to being picked at exactly the right time and being under the deft hand of Tim Smith once in the winery…vineyard age is up to 130 years and usually up to four vineyard selections make the final blend.

Dark garnet hue. Dark fruits & spices on the nose. Medium to full bodied entrance. Lovely blue berries and dark cherries on the palate. Superb. The wine that represents the ‘DNA’ of Vergelegen. An estate-grown blend of cabernet franc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon, aged in 100% new French oak for 17 months.

This 'baby Meursault' is derived from two small, advantageously positioned parcels of old vines just outside the village of Meursault. The 2018 is an excellent vintage that offers immense concentration and a more forward expression in the glass. It boasts opulent, rich qualities and focused minerality that mirror what we love in the wines of the appellation.The vineyards of 35 to 60-year-old vines lie just outside the AOC border of Meursault, which dramatically lowers the price while allowing for one of the greatest White Burgundy values we have. This wine is ready to drink now and doesn’t need aging. Zesty, bitter citrus, lemon, and grapefruit characters, with a biscuity, yeasty character all held together by a spicy acidity, and a lean mineral salinity. Serious integration, sheer quality.
