A great Margaret River Shiraz with temperate ripening conditions promoting fruit intensity, richness and fine tannins. The palate is restrained and balanced with flavours of plum and aniseed spice.

Dog Point is responsible for some of Marlborough's best Pinot noir. This release has lifted aromas of dark cherries stone fruit and violets. The palate is rich and complex with a supple velvety texture.

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.

The Louis Latour Beaujolais-Villages comes from 35 selected towns originating from granite soils, which bring a crunchy freshness that is typical to the region's the indigenous Gamay grape. With an average vine age of 30 plus years, this Beaujolais-Villages is nurtured and bottled in Maison Latour's cellars at 'Clos Chameroy' on the outskirts of Beaune. With its deep colour and garnet tints, this Beaujolais-Village 2020 offers pleasant aromas of wild strawberries and myrtle. The palate is round with smooth, chalky tannins and unveils black cherry, spice, and nutmeg notes on the finish.

John Duval rose to winemaking fame as the craftsman of the mighty Penfolds Grange, before going it alone to further forge his reputation as a maker of great Shiraz. The aim of The Entity is to produce a wine true to the region. Rich and complex it shows ripe, spicy fruit characters with a complex savoury oak influence framed by fine lingering tannins.

The appellation of Morgon is situated entirely within the parish of Villié-Morgon, where the soil sets its wines apart from the other Beaujolais 'Crus'. The percentage of sand and shale is higher here due to the particular way in which the local schist layers have weathered. Consequently the wines are firmer and darker in colour than the other 'Crus'. Dark ruby colour with aromas of black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry. The mouthfeel is rich and silky, revealing mouth-watering flavours of black fruits, myrtle, rose and cocoa. A serious and rich Beaujolais of incredible value and style.

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.

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.

A delicious example of this gamay-based light red from southern Burgundy. Raspberry and plum aromas are direct and fruity, and the palate is light with a lingering, fragrant aftertaste.
