Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages
Made from the Gamay grape variety it is surprising that Beaujolais is not more popular in Australia! Soft, juicy and delicious - this is the ideal picnic companion.
Domaine de La Merize Moulin-a-Vent Beaujolais
Moulin-a-Vent is the most structured and age worthy of the elite ten Crus of Beaujolais. Winemaker Patrick Bertrand makes great examples from this region for the following simple reasons: firstly - the vine age (on average sixty years old), secondly - vineyard location. The vines are situated on various aspects, which provide him with fruit with different flavours and structures.
Domaine Elian Da Ros Vignobles D'Elian Marmande
This is one of the gems produced by cult winemaker Elian Da Ros, who learned the art of winemaking at the prestigious Domaine Zind Humbrecht in Alsace before taking over the family vineyard. This luscious red is a blend of half Cabernet Franc, with the rest a split between Merlot and Syrah and matured for 18 months in old oak. Drink young for the sheer enjoyment.
Domaine la Remejeanne Un Air de Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone Cote Rouge
This is a vibrantly aromatic and juicy, red fruited wine, with energy and a refreshing, tangy backbone. The long, spicy finish has plenty to keep you engaged.
Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux Coteaux Bourguignons
Gamy from Burgundy. Not many Burgundy producers are growing red grapes that arent Pinot Noir. Its attractive ruby complexion draws the eye in and its summer cherry front notes appeal the palate. Very fine, silty tannins and moderate-to-high acidity create a definite structure not typically seen in entry level wine and will certainly look good with a few months in the cellar. Great food wine, recommend pairing with roast chicken, olives, pork sausages and hard sharper cheeses.
Cave de Tain Saint Joseph Grand Classique
A delicious Syrah developed from hand picked grapes of vines planted on terraces of granitic sand in Northern Cotes-du-Rhone. Flavours of black fruits and morello cherry are abundant and match fantastically with red meats, game birds or unpasteurized milk cheeses. A true delight.
Te Mata Estate Vineyards Gamay Noir
Te Mata Gamay Noir has notes of red candy-apple and hints of ripe strawberry. The palate is saturated raspberry; juicy and sustained with silky, round tannins, accompanied by a fine dusting of liquorice and white pepper. Red-ripe fruit, crunchy acidity, and a fresh and intense style. Match with spicy cuisines.
