This soft and luscious merlot from South Australia has a lovely nose of berries and dried fruit. An easy drinking fruity red with Merlot's classic supple feel. Super smooth on the finish for those who like their reds easy on the palate.

Attractive blackcurrant fruit characters are well matched with toasty oak in this easy drinking blend which delivers outstanding value for money.

Dollar for dollar, wines such as this truly are remarkable value. Soft, round with flavours of ripe plums, blackcurrant and a finely grained mouthfeel.

The ability to source fruit away from their home base in the Hunter is paying dividends for Brokenwood. This Cricket Pitch is a ripe, fully flavoured red blend - this is the ideal BBQ companion.

This crisp, spritzy wine with a lower alcohol level than many (11.5 per cent) is just the ticket for an dusk tipple, a mid-sweet, juicy party aperitif style of rose showing a berry compote set of flavours and a lovely finishing mouth presence.

Squealing Pig is a tale about a pig who wanted more from life. Keen on wine, but not a fan of the boar, he went on an adventure to Marlborough and Central Otago seeking out Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Rosé wines with a difference. Pale salmon colour it is a crisp, silky smooth style of Sparkling Rose. Intensely aromatic on the nose and tastes full and luscious on the palate.

Medium-bodied, this is a modern take on the classic Australian Merlot made in a soft approachable style. Intense blackberry aromas with spice and leafy notes. A palate of vanilla and sweet dark berry fruits with mocha oak and lovely silky tannins.
