Marqués de Riscal Próximo is a new addition to the Marqués range and is a bright and fruit driven Rioja style sourced from slightly younger Tempranillo vines.

Hints of liquorice and star anise also give the wine a superb backbone that is perfectly suited many Mediterranean cuisines.

Freixenet's Prosecco, their venture into Italy, is available in the extremely convenient 200ml bottles, ideal for those with limited time or numbers. Small, these might be, but they offer the same delicious and refreshing wine with its bright apple, floral and citrus notes in the extra-dry style.

Soft rounded and fruit-driven this is a good example of the approachable easy drinking Merlot variety. Generous plummy flavour with just a touch of oak and light tannins make this wine enjoyable now.</p>

Tyrrells had been a well known winery for decades. Its Old Winery Pinot Noir is medium bodied due to the warmer climate in NSW.

A fresh contemporary style of Merlot from Jacob's Creek produces a luscious medium bodied wine that has ripe plum and berry fruit flavours in harmony with soft grape and oak tannins giving length and texture.

Violet colour with a hint of ruby. Compelling nose of fresh blackcurrants, plums, and other dark forest fruits. There is also a gentle herbal and oak notes. The palate is elegant and fruity wine, with different forest fruits, with raspberries and black cherries to the fore. Tannins are very soft and nicely balanced with acidity. Rioja, from Spain. The cradle of noble lineages for centuries, still conceals an ancient path that winds its way to the monasteries of San Millan De La Cogolla. A hidden pathway, once reserved for royalty, which still thrives today, all thanks to the sole heir who has kept the lineage alive. The wine of kings.

As with the white Prosecco, this Rose from the leading Spanish producer, Freixenet, is also available in the cute, yet extremely convenient size of just 200mls. An Italian classic, it also offers those delightfully refreshing notes of florals, apples and red berries in an extra-dry style. What picnic or lazy summer afternoon would not be made even better by a few of these chilled gems?
