Succulent Aussie Montepulciano – or Monte – from RedHeads and the sustainable winery in the heart of the Barossa where their wines are made. RedHeads has always been a bit of a rebel! The ‘movement’ started in 2002 in the McLaren Vale – in a cellar where young winemakers could come in their spare time and make just the sort of small-scale wine they dreamed of (not like they did in their day job). Since then, the winery has moved home a few times, and today make their wines in the Barossa, at one of Australia's leading eco-friendly cellars. There, surrounded by many of Australia's biggest wine names, they handcraft revolutionary wines from top batches of grapes, rescued from under the noses of the big players.

Kanopkop's Kadette is a a blend of Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that is full bodied and concentrated. It is a fantastic ambassador for South African wines and drinks well with spicy meat dishes.

Whitebox Shiraz has aromas of dark fruit, spice and leather that leads into a palate of blackberries and cedar. The fruit sweetness is balanced by firm acid and fine tannins. A great example of Heathcote Shiraz from a favourite of Dan Murphy's customers over the years.

Legendary Victorian winemaker, Don Lewis, teams up with Narelle King to create Tar & Roses. (Try and guess who is which?!) Their rich and fruit driven Heathcote Shiraz has quickly become a favourite of many Shiraz lovers, and not surprisingly at this low price!

A masterclass in balance, this Montepulciano Rose effortlessly weaves together vibrant fruit, savoury depth, and a beautifully textural palate. Delicate herbal and tomato bush notes greet the palate before giving way to the bright juciy allure of red berries and a whisper of turkish delight. A touch of oak lends a velvety richness, enhancing the wine's elegance without overpowering the freshness. The dry finish is crisp and refined with perfectly pitched acidity that makes it an absolute dream with food. Incredibly versatile and endlessly drinkable.

The tannins are smooth and velvety, adding structure and depth to the wine. This vintage from Smidge Wines showcases the full potential of Montepulciano, with a long, lingering finish and a touch of acidity that leaves the palate refreshed.
