What kind of winemaker ages their red wine 200 metres underground in a river running through a vast chasm beneath the mountains of Carcassonne? Sylvain Delabre does – and the result is wowing staff and customers alike. Chasm de Cabrespine 2019 is a bold, spiced Minervois made from handpicked parcels of Syrah and Grenache. First aged in clay amphorae for deep, brooding flavour. Then bottles are left to rest in the most perfect ageing conditions imaginable. No light, perfect humidity and pressure. We call it extreme cellaring. It took four hours to retrieve a single bottle for tasting. But what emerged was something extraordinary: a rich, spiced southern French red with six years maturity delivering lovely spice and a long complex finish

Matsu, a Japanese word that means ""wait,"" conveys the philosophy of this project: waiting for nature to take its course, for the vineyards to turn 100, and for the perfect moment to open a bottle of wine. This project, rooted in Spain’s Toro region, pays homage to the generations of viticulturists who have worked the land. By focusing on ancient Tinta de Toro vines (Tempranillo) and collaborating with local growers, Matsu preserves the region's rich viticultural history. Each bottle features a portrait of a local winemaker representing the wine’s personality.Pícaro (The Rogue) represents the younger generation strong, brave, and full of energy. Vinified in concrete tanks to preserve the wine's fruit-forward character, it displays an explosion of dark fruit, including blackberries, blueberries, and damson plums. The palate is supple and round, with a juicy mouthfeel and soft tannins. It is an approachable wine that captures the unbridled power of Toro in a youthful, vibrant style.

A Portugese blend of Aragonez, Trincadeira & Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has an intensity to it that is balanced by freshness. Displaying flavours of complex spices, blackberries, plums and truffle, the wine is Harmonious, with a long finish

Barbadillo, established in 1821, continue to be a very important Sherry producer from within the 'Jerez Triangle' in south-western Spain. Well known for high class, quality Sherry's, this Cuco Oloroso is made in a slightly different way than what is considered the norm. An oxidative process is used to develop the nutty, complex characters into the wine instead of the usual Flor yeast system. This produces an intensely flavoured Oloroso with a rich and smooth texture and dominant walnut notes. The finish covers the palate with a dense, velvet like feel.

Barbadillo and their quality Sherry's have been an integral part of the Jerez region since 1821. Located in the south-western area of Spain and apart of the all important 'Jerez Triangle', Barbadillo provide not only some of the very best Sherry here in Australia, but some of the best value for money. This Principe Amontillado is a quirky style that is in fact a fortified aged Manzanilla. Plenty of spice, hazelnut and almond meal characters. The finish is wonderfully long and exceptionally rich for an Amontillado.

This new release from renowned Rioja producer Marques de Riscal marks a stylistic evolution in the estates signature style. An atypical crianza from the heart of the Rioja Alavesa region, this Tempranillo expresses all its fruitiness and youthfulness, with a moderate presence of wood that provides good balance and persistence. A fresh, fruity wine with a flavour profile reminiscent of red fruits subtly accompanied by aromas of wood, coconut and vanilla. Full on the palate, persistent and with character, a true reflection of the personality of the grapes from this terroir.
