Made from the popular dark skinned local grape, primitivo, in the Salento region of Puglia, this wine impresses with deep, rich flavours of dark cherry, prunes and heady notes of rosemary, sweet spices and a vanilla undertone. A full-bodied, intense wine, soft and balanced, easy to drink.

Fred Pizzini grew up in Italy and is bringing the taste of his homeland to the Australian dining table. His Sangiovese is one of the best examples in the country, with spicy, savoury fruit hiding a vein of mouth watering acid that is a hallmark of the variety. Delicious now - and will get better with bottle age!

Italian varieties shine in this multi-Gold, high-scoring Barossa red from a 5-star rated Barossa winery. It's a: "… floral-edged and fruit pure blend of negroamaro, aglianico and montepulciano that shows notes of deep, dark plum fruits, blackberry and kirsch with underlying hints of graphite, dark spices, something vaguely leathery, pan juices and turned earth. There is a cascade of fine tannin that suffuses through the wine, finishing dark, earthy and hinting towards a combination with a ragu-led pasta dish.92pts. Great Value” (Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion). “Now we’re talking. This attractive light-to-medium weight red wine is made with Negroamaro, Montepulciano and Aglianico grapes. It’s the Barossa Valley, soft and(deliciously) drinkable, but not quite as we usually know it, or at least with a point of difference.… The word impeccable springs to mind.” 93pts Campbell Mattinson. Steve Leszczynski in Qwine Review writes that it’s: “A gorgeous drink… fabulous…that oozes food-friendly appeal … a most impressive blend. 93pts.” Craig Stansborough and Mark Slade started Purple Hands in southern Barossa in 2006, from humble beginnings, making just 100 dozen the first vintage. Today "Purple Hands captures the purity and elegance that is possible when the raw materials are in good hands." Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion.

High up in the Adelaide Hills, Paracombe is owned and operated by the Drogemuller family, which it has passionately done since 1983. Sourced from both estate and selected grower fruit, Paracombe Shiraz shows wonderful ripe fruit aromas with a delicate cool-climate aspect. Notes of cherries, plums, pepper and spice are notable along with a palate of layered spicy fruit and a fine tannin structure.

Ashtonishing value and pedigree are on offer with the Mouton Cadet Rouge - a historical wine created by Baron Philippe de Rothschild in the 1930s. With access to some of Bordeaux's finest appellations, the Mouton Cadet is considered the premier affordable Bordeaux wine on the market today. Hard to argue when attractive notes of blueberry, morello cherry and blackcurrant simply cascade from the glass creating a truly memorable red wine experience. Sourced from growers from limestone rich soils of the Entre-Deux-Mers and Côtes de Bordeaux to the clay soils around Blaye and the gravel rich Côtes de Bourg. All contributing to what is possibly the bargain old world wine of the year.

The Red Claw is the complimenting range to the estate Yabby Lake wines that call the Mornington Peninsula home. This Shiraz though is sourced from the Cambrian rich soils of Heathcote, a region which has quickly become one of Australia's premier Shiraz growing areas. Dark berry and spice dominated, there are underlying notes of pepper and crushed herbs. Fermented in 100% French Oak, there is a subtlety to this Shiraz that lends itself to many cuisine matches.

A delicious mouthful of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Paxton has generous ripe black fruits, sweet spice, liquorice and rich chocolate flavours on the palate. Framed by savoury oak and silky fine tannins with a lengthy finish.

Shottesbrooke Merlot from the well drained McLaren Vale is a wonderfully full flavoured, deep and vibrant red wine. Medium body, typical of the variety, combined with fine tannins and a smooth finish, this makes an ideal food accompaniment for poultry and Italian dishes.
