The superb Wynns Coonawarra Estate Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc is a debut release, marking the first time the winery has bottled this varietal as a standalone offering. Sourced from the McKillop Vineyard in northern Coonawarra, it features vibrant red fruit flavours of raspberry and violet, supported by fine chalky tannins and aged exclusively in large-format neutral French oak vats for freshness.

TE MATA ESTATE Coleraine. Cepage may include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Hawkes Bay, New Zealand

Brilliant magenta, Coleraine '16 entices with concentrated rose syrup, fresh, fragrant raspberry, wild strawberry, ripe plum, thyme and cedar. Offering superb depth and complexity, Coleraine '16 is defined by a precise, lazer-edge of pure, bright, red fruit. Framed by tight acid and silky tannins, all this extends elegantly into an exquisite and super-fine crescendo, giving exceptional length and finesse to the wine. Each parcel of grapes was destemmed before a traditional warm, plunged fermentation and extended maceration on skins. The resulting wines were then run to predominately new French oak barrels for 18 months' maturation. Throughout this time, they were regularly topped and racked. The separate wines were blended in January 2017 then egg white fined during their second winter in barrel. The finished wine was then bottled in December 2017. The final blend is 51% cabernet sauvignon, 47% merlot and 2% cabernet franc. Established in 1896, Te Mata Estate remains family owned, producing internationally recognized wines exclusively from its Hawkes Bay vineyards. A temperate maritime climate with low rainfall, due to the rain shadow from mountains to the west, ensures Te Matas sites make the most of every vintage. At the heart of Te Mata Estate are the Havelock Hills Vineyards - the first legally-protected vineyards in New Zealand. Te Mata has five sites on these free draining, north-facing slopes. Soils to the east are mostly sandy loam over a sandstone base, and towards the west are sandy loam over a thin layer of clay and a silica pan. The distinctive shape of the hills is due to their comparative youth, in geological terms. At the meeting point of two tectonic plates, sandstone has been pushed up then worn away relatively quickly leaving a landscape of steep and gentle slopes, and terraces ideal for grape-growing. Under vine for over 120 years, and including some of the oldest grape growing sites in New Zealand, the Havelock Hills are protected for their distinct character, special ambience and unique viticultural heritage.

The Acaibo Trinite Estate Sonoma Country 2016 is a stunning representation of the high-quality wines produced in Sonoma County, United States of America. This vintage from the AcaiboTrinite Estate boasts a deep, ruby red colour with a brilliant clarity. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark berries and cherries mingle with notes of vanilla and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with velvety tannins and a smooth, elegant finish. Flavors of black currant and plum are complemented by hints of oak and a subtle earthiness. This wine is a true reflection of the terroir and craftsmanship of the AcaiboTrinite Estate. It is a perfect pairing for hearty dishes such as grilled steak or a rich, mushroom risotto. Enjoy now or cellar for additional complexity.

A Bordeaux-esque expression that marries that classic Bordelaise blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc) with Terra Rossa character. Pretty, aromatic, and fresh, the O’Deas red blend hails from a single vineyard: the O’Deas 3.13 – although the Wynns team refer to it affectionately as ‘The Hobbit’, due to the short stature of the vines and their wide ‘feet’ (roots). This is an inaugural release for Wynns. Every year, the Coonawarra legends select one parcel of wine to bottle as a single vineyard special. This year’s bottle is a true field blend. With lavender and menthol on the nose, alongside light anise and blackberry, it is fresh and aromatic. This has the pedigree and deliciousness to go the distance.
