Now - End 2034
We commissioned this wine from our winemaking team in Oz to push the limit on the massively popular Albacore red and they have delivered in spades. This lavish creation has all the hallmarks of a top wine; beautifully textured, layered and lush fruit that fills the mouth, as well as a classic Aussie richness of fruit. It will also cellar well for at least a decade leaving you, at the end (should you make it), with a much more gastronomic and complex beast. Try it (at any time) with rare beef.

Around equal distance between Adelaide and Melbourne lies this family-owned collection of superb vineyards and a state-of-the-art winery where their exquisite, pure, honest wines are brought to life. Borrowdale is a careful balance of spicy Shiraz and blackcurrant-laden Cabernet. It'll go down a treat with a spicy sausage stew, mac and cheese - and of course a summer barbie!

Chile is a land of ice and fire. The four seasons are very marked, with cold and rainy winters - and dry, prolonged summers without rain. Luckily, in spite of these blazing summers which help to ripen the grapes, the vines remain watered by the cool snow melt flowing down from the mountains. This makes for beautiful wines like this Merlot, which has a deliciously fresh character due to the coastal vineyards where the fruit comes from.
El Cabanero Tempranillo 187ml 2023

The south of central Spain must be up there with the very best value red wine you can find. Long sunshine days in the growing season bring Tempranillo to its delicious best. Sweet strawberry with soft plum and a hint of chocolate.

This Mendoza beauty is made from 3 separate parcels of Malbec: one close to the town, one on the valley floor and one on the sought after slopes of Mount Tupungato. All are long-established, family owned sites. They are then masterfully blended by Stephen resulting in a wine choc-full of ripe blueberry and bramble fruit with a dash of spice, a rich mouthfeel and a beautifully long finish.

The specific character of each wine has its origin in the vineyard, and that is why Ben Snyman and his team work so hard to express the terroir in each glass of wine. Understanding and harnessing the diverse terroir of the Western Cape, and the individuality of each vintage, guides him to create singular wines like this Shiraz. It offers up rich layers of fruit complexity and velvety tannins making it the ideal partner to roasted meats or hearty stews.

The four months in barrel has really brought this Tempranillo together. The fruit is really bright, but the oak gives the wine a bit more spice and depth and it works really well. Raspberry, plum and blackberry fruits are overlaid with hints of vanilla, cocoa and cinnamon-style spice.

Not the world's best selling Port for nothing this. The Americans go wild about it for a start, and whilst in most things that's an aberration, in the case of port it's a pretty clear indication that this is hot stuff. Lots of sweet, rich, powerful ripe plum and damson fruit flavours with a sweet milk chocolate kick to it and an almost raisiny quality. Absolutely delicious with a smelly bit of stilton.

This perfectly mature, full-bodied Aussie gem is a great addition to your wine rack. Like the famous Albacore Tuna, the guys behind Albacore wines have endless energy and determination.

The ancient Pont de Diable is a familiar sight for many lovers of French wines. Built by monks nearly 1,000 years ago, it spans the gently flowing Hérault river, on which many of the region's greatest vineyards depend. Paying homage, we present this superb Cabernet; ripe, spicy and satisfying.

Winemaker Jenny Villalobos has used French-native grape Carménère here to great effect. Hand-harvested from the best sites in the Valle Central, she has had the wisdom to allow the grape to dictate its own dark, deeply scented and deliciously silky character. Serve with lamb meatballs and tomato sauce or grilled stuffed peppers for the perfect pairing.

Vin De France is a label that allows creativity and innovation within French winemaking. Grapes can be taken from anywhere in France and blended however they like, allowing for the creation of outstanding wines without the limitation of the borders of French regions. The winemaker Iain Munson MW has worked his magic with this wine and, by blending Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan, he has created a modern and fresh wine with ripe red fruit. Great accompaniment to grilled meat and vegetables.

This Malbec should not be confused with grippier, more tannic offerings from vineyards located in cooler regions, and those that experience more northerly climates. Crafted from grapes grown in southerly vineyards that bask in glorious sunshine creates a wine that has a wonderfully cheery character and is bursting with ripe dark fruits. A great match for juicy cuts of steak or homemade burgers.

The vines that lie within sight of the Med have a few pockets that can, and do, make really, really good Malbec. By bathing in the mediterranean sun this wine has developed deliciously fruity notes of violet and blackcurrant. A great pairing for a curry or any spicy dish.

Tu Yo Tres (you me three) is a range born out of the joy we experience when sharing a glass of something delicious with good company. The noble French variety Cabernet Franc is making a bit of noise and a name for itself over in Chile and we love its freshness and energy. Lashings of juicy strawberry fruit, a little peppery spice, and masses of drinkability. When the sun shines, it'll even welcome a little time in the fridge before serving!

This lovely fruit-filled French red was blended without appellation constraints and when given a blank canvas to work with, it can yield some exciting and surprising results. It is a wine built on a base of lovely Grenache that bring fresh raspberry and ripe strawberry fruit and then, layered on top, come Syrah and Carignan but the finishing touch was given to the wine by adding a proportion of wonderfully rich and silky plummy Merlot. An unpretentious red that is fruity and jolly.

Our search for a great value Sangiovese naturally took us straight to central Italy, but less predictable was unearthing a small parcel of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. After a few hours at the blending table we have managed to capture the best of all varieties with classic Sangiovese character accompanied by depth and richness from the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. With rich violet and plum notes, it is the perfect partner to roasted red meat or tomato based pasta.

This South African Grenache is crafted from the old vines planted on exceptional, decomposed granite soils which this variety just adores!

As you walk the streets of South Africa's Cape Town, you may hear someone say the word Lekker. This distinctly South African word is used to describe something which is enjoyable. Therefore, when we tasted this Cabernet Sauvignon, we knew this wine was Lekker. So, we had to name it just that! Packed with bold ripe red fruits and well-integrated tannins. This is one to be enjoyed either on its own or with a juicy steak.

Australian Merlot is often overlooked and sits down the pecking order, living quietly in the shadow of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, just doing its thing. And its thing is to deliver wonderfully juicy, plum and red-berry laden grapes to award-winning winemaker David King to transform into the most drinkable red wines out there. This Merlot is perfectly ripe, smooth and has a lovely, delicate, spiced edged, with notes of plum, blackberry and vanilla.
