Ludovic Roussillon is one of the top viticulteurs in Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers. He knows how to coax the very best out of his soils to get the most flavour in his grapes. Work hard in the vineyard and the wine almost makes itself, he says. We’ve worked with Ludovic for a number of years, enjoying both his red and his white from Château Le Coin. This is another wine from his vineyards – mostly Merlot, with a little Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon – all vinified to bring out the fruit's richness, supported by sleek tannins. Rethink Bordeaux with this supple, generous, rounded red. It’s already drinking really well, with or without food. Roast beef, full flavoured pasta dishes, charcuterie, cheese – this wine is very versatile.

This Great Value Barossa Merlot – with Gold and high points galore – is a treat to savour. .”… It's got the fleshiness you'd expect from the variety with an array of fine spice and hints of blueberry pie, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, earth, black cherry compote and purple flowers. Truth be told, it's a lovely drink and there's some great value to be had here. 92pts. Great Value.” (Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion). For Sam Kim, Wine Orbit it’s: “Splendidly fruited and inviting…” and ”… displays succulent fruit intensity with plump mouthfeel and polished tannins, finishing long and robust.94pts.” The Schild Estate can boast Shiraz vines planted by Ann Jacobs back in 1847! The Schild's first arrived in Australia in 1866, and the family moved to the Barossa and purchased vineyards here in 1952. They did not make their first 'Schild' branded wine until 1998, but the estate's reputation grew steadily. Although no longer owned by the family, the estate's vineyards are all still under the family's control.

Ronan by Clinet continues its reign as an undisputed best-seller, and the 2018 vintage is no exception. This 100% Merlot red offers a luscious, ripe experience reminiscent of the sought-after style of Pomerol's grand vins. Expect an opulent, sumptuous wine with intense flavors of black cherry and plum, all wrapped in a rich, powerful, and fruit-driven nose. It's the perfect choice for those who love Pomerol and crave a delicious, concentrated expression of Merlot.

This 2014 Rosabrook Cabernet Merlot is one of the Margaret River's signature wine styles. Great licks of black fruit from the Cabernet Sauvignon interlaced with the smooth plum characters on Merlot. It is a beautifully made wine with great balance and a lengthy finish. It will be great with meat dishes or even a cheese platter. Owned by Calneggia Family Vineyards, one of Margaret River's pioneering grape growers with winemaker legend Brian Fletcher pulling the winemaking levers.

The 2024 Lucien Rigui Bordeaux Rouge is a classic, approachable expression of Bordeaux, led by Merlot. The wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe red and black fruits, followed by subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it is supple and harmonious, with silky tannins, balanced freshness and generous fruit character. Easy-drinking yet distinctly Bordeaux, with a clean and pleasantly fruity finish. A versatile red for everyday drinking, ideal with grilled meats, beef, veal, poultry, charcuterie and soft cheeses. Serve at 16-18 degC.
