Earthy, smoky, gravelly nose, with hints of cured meats and gunflint, intriguing and complex. Robust and very dark on the palate, plush and powerful, mouthcoating density of fruit, that is ripe and textural. A substantial wine with longevity and presence.

Chris Ringland Shiraz has been one of Australia's most loved wines over the past few years with its immense concentration of bold, forboding fruit. Chris Ringland, the man behind such famous names as Three Rivers Shiraz, creates a wine that is made from mature Northern Barossa vines and shows dark mass of concentrated black and blue fruits, laced with sweet mocha and wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture. Not for the faint of heart, the CR Shiraz is improving vintage on vintage.

Colour Vibrant crimson/purple hue. Aroma Notes of violets, spice, star anise with underlying plum. Palate Palate is fine, medium density, mineral and slinky graphite.

Terres Rares Braucol Gamay has a red color with purple reflections . NOSE: sweet and very pleasant, aromas of red and black fruits. LIPS: round, well-balanced, seducing with intense fruitiness DISHES: roasted rabbit, duck, chorizo-type cold cuts, pizza, casseroles e.g. with pumpkin and bacon, meat and potato casserole (hachis parmentier), a very good aperitif

Deep ruby‑black in the glass, it opens with bold aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, tea‑leaf and earthy florals. The palate is full‑bodied and generous, delivering rich blackberry and cigar‑box flavours mid‑palate, followed by fine tannins and a long, elegant finish.

Hervé Sabardeil, our winemaker with limitless talent, has been making Cabalié, the big, ripe Catalan red, for over 15 years. He added the old-vine (Vieilles Vignes) edition in 2011, originally as a one off, but it was so popular we insisted he did it again. And again! The magic to this punchy red is really in the vines. At 60 to 100-years-old, yields are minute (about half of a Grand Cru claret). As a rule of thumb, the smaller the yield, the more concentrated the fruit, the more flavoursome the wine! That’s why we call it Cabalié’s Big Brother. Still made in the same style that was beloved by the Roman centurions and now our customers too, it packs even more flavour than the original. Ideal with garlic-roasted lamb, rich stews or cheese.
