Illuminati Riparosso is a long term favourite here at Dan Murphy's. Always displaying intense red currant/red cherry/tobacco aromas along with ripe fruit and soft tannins that are the hallmarks of this amazing value red wine made from the Montepulciano grape.

A popular Montepulciano dAbruzzo, appreciated for its soft flavours, strong colour and gentle tannins. This Montepulicano dAbruzzo is gaining popularity in its easy drinking on its own or with food. A lively red colour with purplish nuances. Vinous, fruity character with remarkable notes of berries. Velvety and harmonic taste, aromatic with a good final persistence.

Loaded with aromas of blueberries, plums and raspberry pastilles, the wine has an alluring charm with licorice and savoury spice notes adding intrigue. The palate exhibits juicy dark plum and sweet red berry flavours with underlying hints of white pepper, and whilst the palate is well supported by seasoned French oak, the tannins are soft, round and fleshy.

This red from France is a great introduction to Bordeaux without the expensive price tag. A deep purple colour with hint of spice and vegetal aromas. The palate is supple and round with notes of plum, leather and spice with a rich, persistent finish.

The Butchers Block is a traditional Barossa blend made with grapes selected from the Turkey Flat vineyards, including some from the original old vine plantings. It is a blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvédre (Mataro). 'Part of the grapes come from the home vineyard that has some of the oldest vines in the Barossa, planted by Peter Schulz's great-grandfather Ernest Schulz. The wine has the drive, focus and intensity often missing from this Barossa blend; that said, there are both black and distinctly red fruit components, and the tannins are firm. Give it 10 years, then line it up with a top Rhone Valley example. Outrageous value' - Rating 94/100. - James Halliday.

La Grola is the extraordinary result of the meeting of two great personalities: the hill of La Grola and the Valpolicella's autochthonous grapes. The excellent exposure of the vineyards, which enjoy the sun's warm rays and the cool breezes that come from nearby Lake Garda, allows the grapes to produce their very best. Careful, craftsman-like ageing in the cellar yields a red wine with great elegance, harmony and finesse that can evolve positively for over a decade.

Lush sweet fruit with low tanninFlavour, but not overdone. Savoury, yet luscious too. And all delivered at a frightfully fair price.
