Planted in 1300, the estate is the oldest planted vineyard in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, ranked among the Premiers Crus for red wine in the Classification of Graves wine of 1959.

Clos Beauregard 2013 has an intense red colour with purple tints. The nose, elegant and complex, delivers ripe black fruit scents with a woody note. On the palate, the wine is ample and well-balanced. The attack, greedy and nice, delivers blueberry jam aromas and a vanilla touch.

From some of the earliest plantings of Shiraz in the Yarra Valley with vines dating back to 1969. Shiraz (96%) co-fermented with small parcels of Viognier, Marsanne and Mataro aged 12 to 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels produces a wine that is perfumed and feminine with the tannins and acidity as integral to the wine as the fruit. Proven to age for 25+ years, Yarra Yering Dry Red No 2 was the first Cote Rotie style blend made in Australia

This red and bright wine, the spearhead of the estate Tenuta Rocca di Montemassi, is the fulgid expression of the character of the place and the aristocratic lineage of the grapes creating it: Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon. In the glass it shows a voluptuous parable in which the three souls of the originating grapes are mixed in a rare and precious manner, representing in a marvelous picture the unique terroir and the spirit of these lands: the original notes of black fruits, spices and vegetation; the harmonious sip featuring several of the various grapes blend into an expressive and full character, with an endless persistence. Ruby red, intense and evolved with notes of black fruit, undergrowth and hints of tobacco. Concentrated and seductive with slight hints of spices and a perfect balance. The ending note is long and persistent. 

Typical earthy, dusty plum and berry Languedoc style. Dry, fine tannins - medium bodied. Cabernet Sauvignon dominant although the wine doesn't come across the palate in that sense. Complex and savoury, the Mas de Daumas rouge is the perfect Mediterranean food pairing wine.

Excellent colour and mid-density. Being 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Shiraz it is more of the classic Aussie blend Cabernet/Shiraz. Lifted dark fruit and cedar notes on the nose. A rich mouthfeel from the McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Fine tannins with the oak very much in the background ensuring great drinkability.
