Majestic, intense, full-bodied and tannic, Cos dEstournel is considered the leading wine of St Estèphe. Highly tannic in its youth, over time it develops much much like the great wines of adjoining Pauillac. A true "super second" growth.

It is the freshest of the Beaujolais Crus and the Parisian's favourite. Fresh and fruity, light and supple, it has a pleasant aroma of violets. The true wine-lovers drink it young when the Gamay still possesses its entire aroma.

With strawberry, melon and flower petal flavours this Mrs. Wigley fits the bill of a real racy Rose. It's made from Grenache, has a touch of sweetness, a zesty kick and finishes squeaky clean, leaving a refreshing zing in the mouth.

One of the leading wineries in the Valpolicella region of Italy's Veneto. This generous and ripe traditional Valpolicella is all about leather, roasted almond, ripe currants and sour cherry. The palate is mellow, with fine tannins and a sour cherry finish.

Johanne Pfeiffer and Christian Auricht sought a new life in the Barossa, where they married and raised a family.

Intense and complex aromas of strawberry and cherry fruit with balsam, tea and spice, the palate rich and full bodied with fine tannins and a long finish.

A lightly structured, light-medium bodied blend of piquant freshness. Harmonious, where no variety is distinct. Each plays its role, but the whole beats to its own rhythm. Lively summer fruits, herb and spice and a floral lift. Wafts of gaminess too. Lunch-time appropriate at 11.8% abv. Lightly chill if you feel, or not. Best between 12-14 degrees in my opinion.
