Elegant (and utterly delicious) White Burgundy from a fine family domaine, established in 1909 by Joseph Matrot, and today run by the third generation, Elsa and Adèle Matrot. They are renowned as “a top-class Meursault producer” (Wine International), while Neal Martin wrote, "great wines are being made at this address". The sisters, like their father before them, believe in using oak sparingly in order to express “the quintessence of terroir” (La Revue du Vin de France). They let the fruit do the talking. The result is a portfolio of Burgundies that are intensely flavoured, pure tasting, with excellent ageing potential. In 2023, they discarded 25% of their grapes which has taken quality even higher. Certainly one of the finest producers of Burgundy.

An amazing parcel of rich, dark, concentrated McLaren Vale Shiraz has gone into 'The Prize' ... look forward to a mouthful of powerful dark fruit, a tempting dark chocolate richness, and a silky, spicy, long, long palate. This is a beauty. Enjoy.

Ponting Wines is a collaboration between one of Australia’s most celebrated cricketers, Ricky Ponting and Ben Riggs, an award-winning Australian winemaker known for uncompromising, high quality wines. Masters of their craft, their partnership has been forged to celebrate their dedication and achievements. “Raising a glass with team mates at the close of play, when the game was done and the crowd was gone, they were the special moments.” - Ricky Ponting This is a wine that honours that tradition and is the perfect ‘finale’ for any get together. “Soft and silky in style, this wine shows generous red berry fruits with touches of mint and clove. Langhorne Creek is famous for wines of pure drinking enjoyment and this is a wine of great character and style.” - Ben Riggs. Food Matching: Fillet Steak.

In the most northwesterly corner of Rioja, the flatter land starts rising up into soaring mountains. It's here you'll find the start of the Rioja Alta vineyards – a fine enclave of Spain’s greatest region. There extra altitude freshens as well as ripens grapes slowly to full flavoured perfection. Since most Riojas blend grapes from across the region you almost never see Rioja Alta on labels. In fact, there are only two villages permitted to add it. In one you'll find Juan Antonio Leza’s family winery, the cellar behind Castillo de Epifania. Every grape comes from their sleepy Rioja Alta village. Full of silky dark fruit and strawberry, with a kiss of oak, this red has a delicious 'drink me' style, lovely on its own or with tasty tapas.

In the glass: Pale salmon pink.On the nose: Raspberry, cherry, cranberry, watermelon, rose water and white pepper.On the palate: Bright with ethereal and pure core fruit depth, mouth-watering savoury elements, pepper complexity, and a long finish.

One of the greats, Mumm Champagne is the perfect choice when celebrating. Combining Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay together has created a delicious Champagne with rich bubbles and scents of fresh fruit and caramel.

Tasting Notes: Pineapple, nectarine and lime aromatics along with lengthy butterscotch and biscotti flavours. A well-structured wine to be enjoyed from now to 2020.
