Gamay isn't local to southwest France, but was introduced there in 1970 to soften some of the beefier, tannic native grapes. And it's made itself feel right at home, as you'll notice with our lovely new-release Fluette. It's made by the exceptionally talented Jean-Noël Barrau at a multi-award-winning cellar in Gaillac. The Gamay vineyards lie on terraces perched above the River Tarn, not far from Toulouse and Albi. The sandy gravel soil there lends the wine a lovely freshness to balance the silky ripeness of the fruit. So delicious and easy is it, that on hot summer days you could cool it down a little. The perfect red to sip on its own, or share over a lunchtime chat – It'll slip down well with chicken, creamy brie-like cheeses or with noodle stir-fry.

Dal Zotto is a family run winery in the King valley specialising in traditional Italian varietals. Their Barbera is a great example of the variety with ripe blood plums, spice, and a meaty savouriness. A great food friendly style - add a splash to boost your bolognaise!

Brokenwood Shiraz is a ripe and generous Shiraz with lifted cherry and mint aromas nicely balanced with sweet chocolate notes on the nose and a soft rich palate with savoury cedary flavours and fine grained tannins on the finish.

Red fruits, cranberry, savoury bunch spice folded right in. Dried herbs for lift. Bright and long with lovely flow. The happiest I’ve been with this wine. Really stoked

Out of the shadow and into the light steps our Ombre Gamay; ready and poised to take centre stage. Historically cast in the shadow of its varietal neighbour Pinot Noir, Gamay is enjoying a timely moment in the sun. Vibrant in hue and exuberant in youthful personality, this wine delivers juicy red berry fruits on the nose with subtle spice and fine tannins on the palate.

Vibrant in colour the nose shows plum and berry fruit with spice pepper and well integrated oak. The palate has good fruit weight with attractive berry flavours and a fine tannin finish.

The wine is made from Gamay grapes using the specific Beaujolais vinification method. This involves semi-carbonic maceration, during which the grapes begin to ferment from the inside out. When the grapes burst, the juice is released naturally, without pressing. This results in a fresh red wine with silky tannins. The mouthfeel is supple and elegant. Taste notes of red fruit, toast, and undergrowth with a peppery finish. Delicious with poultry, lamb, or various Chinese dishes.

The Adams brothers and their vineyard are responsible for many of the iconic wines that take pride of place in many cellars.

A brute with a touch of style.
