Crafted in France by Maison L. Tramier & Fils, the 2022 Tramier Beaujolais-Villages is a vibrant expression of 100% Gamay from the Beaujolais-Villages appellation. Part of Burgundy's southern wine region, Beaujolais is renowned for producing fresh, fruit-driven reds with an appealing combination of elegance and character. Bright ruby red in colour, the wine offers an expressive nose of ripe red and black berries, complemented by delicate floral aromas and a touch of spice. The palate is juicy and generous, with flavours of raspberry, blackcurrant and blueberry supported by lively acidity, silky tannins and a subtle hint of black pepper. The finish is fresh, smooth and lingering. A versatile and food-friendly red, it pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled meats, roast poultry, burgers, soft cheeses and fresh pasta. Serve slightly chilled at 12–14degC

High up in the Adelaide Hills, Paracombe is owned and operated by the Drogemuller family, which it has passionately done since 1983. Sourced from both estate and selected grower fruit, Paracombe Shiraz shows wonderful ripe fruit aromas with a delicate cool-climate aspect. Notes of cherries, plums, pepper and spice are notable along with a palate of layered spicy fruit and a fine tannin structure.

The palate for this Dalrymple Pinot Noir has immediate appeal of sweet red fruits, balanced with a tight tannin structure and a long savoury finish. The presence of dried Italian herbs and floral rose notes on the nose, lift and add to the complexity.

Drawn from well-sited 2.5 hectares within the Serralunga postcode Massolino's Dolcetto D'Alba has a wonderfully flowing texture for this variety. It's long and refreshing with chalky acidity, in the best Dolcetto manner. Whatever else Dolcetto is, it simply has to be fun and delicious to drink.
