Gamay isn't local to southwest France, but was introduced there in 1970 to soften some of the beefier, tannic native grapes. And it's made itself feel right at home, as you'll notice with our lovely new-release Fluette. It's made by the exceptionally talented Jean-Noël Barrau at a multi-award-winning cellar in Gaillac. The Gamay vineyards lie on terraces perched above the River Tarn, not far from Toulouse and Albi. The sandy gravel soil there lends the wine a lovely freshness to balance the silky ripeness of the fruit. So delicious and easy is it, that on hot summer days you could cool it down a little. The perfect red to sip on its own, or share over a lunchtime chat – It'll slip down well with chicken, creamy brie-like cheeses or with noodle stir-fry.

Many a 'big cat' sighting has been made in the cool-climate Strathbogie Ranges leading some to believe in a rare and elusive Panther.

Rolando Nuti was the first to plant a small vineyard in the 1900s, to produce reds solely for the family table. Over a century later, brothers Luca and Flavio Nuti use the same old vines to craft sought-after reds like this silky, rich Super Tuscan. With recognition at global competitions and multiple high scores, Vallino is a testament to decades of hard work and the duo’s passionate, quality-obsessed approach. They even play special 'music' at 440hz to soothe their top wines in barrel. Mainly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with a dash of Sangiovese, it delivers dense flavours of plum, cassis and raspberry, with notes of chocolate, tobacco and vanilla, thanks to a year in fine French oak. An impressive red – open early and decant, or cellar.

A super fresh and zingy with lip-smacking nectarine and berry fruit flavours. Medium-bodied, juicy-fruited with a touch of natural sweetness. Mouth-filling tart Strawberries and cream with soft spice rounding out a lush mouthful. Flavoursome with fresh acidity and a tiny tweak of soft tannin taming the finish.

Aromatic dark fruits of mulberry and black plum. A complex and layered palate of primary mulberry and blackberry supported by black olive and dark chocolate with the gentlest hint of toasty french oak. Estate grown from the spectacular hillside vineyard in the Ferguson Valley of the Geographe wine region, fruit is sourced predominately from the Blinman block which was planted in 1998. Soil is typically a deep layer of ironstone gravelly loam over red and yellow friable clay with slight westerly aspects at elevations of 220 to 250m above sea level. The Coat of Arms is an expression of the deep dark fruit characters we attain from the Ferguson region, rich and smooth with lashings of chocolate, entwined with secondary characters of oak and black olive. Winemaking technique enhances the aromatic and flavour profile of the varieties whilst maintaining a long fine tannin structure. Maturation adds further layers.
