A charming red of full-flavour and great finesse. Bright ruby colour with an attractive delicately spiced red fruit perfume. In the glass this is silky, succulent, harmonious and very moreish. Roast duck anyone?

For well-priced, approachable rich fruit Burgundy, you can rely on Mâcon Mancey, particularly those from the dedicated Bernard Moreau. He took over the family vineyard in 1982 and has since built it up to 8 hectares. He lovingly tends his rows of Chardonnay, Gamay and Pinot Noir vines, ensuring yields are kept low. Pinot Noir covers half his vineyards, on the slopes of Les Cras. The soil there produces wines with excellent structure and spicy fruit. Bernard understands the Pinot grape well, handling it gently and fermenting with natural yeasts to bring out the lovely fruit quality and only gentle tannins. With 10% aged in new oak, the rest in seasoned barrels, there is a complexity and structure to the pretty fruit. Excellent with white meats.

Trentham Estate winemaker Anthony Murphy has done it again - producing a great value Pinot Noir offering cherry, raspberry and subtle confectionery characteristics as well as velvety mouthfeel.

Displaying an intense ruby colour, the 2018 Inara Pinot Noir is a study in red fruits. Full of dark cherry, raspberry and macerated strawberry flavours, the palate of this wine has silky tannins and a touch of clove spice from the oak ageing. A wine made to be enjoyed with family and friends.

The Adelaide Hills is located in the Mount Lofty Ranges, east of Adelaide. One of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, its diversity in terms of altitude, climate and soil helps it produce its distinctive cool climate wines. 2021 vintage was one of the greats. Excellent winter/spring rainfall, sunny warm spring followed by one of the mildest summers on record with only one day over 36 and beautiful mild evenings. This 93pt Kings' Creed Pinot Noir has a vibrant palate of dark berry, red currant and cherry with subtle hints of truffle, finishing with silky graceful tannins. A very seductive wine.
