Knappstein Shiraz displays rich, ripe, plum and berry flavours with fine velvety tannins. Medium term cellaring will be rewarded.

Consistency has been the hallmark of Majella Shiraz for some time now. Ripe fresh raspberry and mulberry fruit is supported by fine tannins and subtle oak.

The nose shows complex savoury, earthy, bramble aromas with lifted American oak. The palate is medium bodied with bright red currant and hints of spice and blackberry.

ROBERTO VOERZIO Pozzo Dell Annunziata, Barbera d'Alba

Produced from premium Shiraz grapes grown on Coonawarra's famous Terra Rossa soil, this well structured wine exhibits great depth and varietal flavours. This Redman Shiraz drinks well now but will reward 5-7 years cellaring.

First produced in 1911. The fruit for Massolino's classic Nebbiolo cuvée is selected from seven sites, representing roughly seven hectares of prime-sited Serralunga vineyards. The oldest vines that feed this bottling are 55 years old (the youngest are 10), and it spends 24 months in large Slovenian oak (only).

From the outstanding house of Michele Chiarlo comes an utterly delicious Barbera d'Asti. The hand picked fruit is treated gently to retain the energy, vibrancy and freshness so evident in the finished product. The red fruit scents are instantly attractive, followed by the captivating fresh red fruit flavour, so vital and elegant, and so typical of the Chiarlo style.
