This is not soft, squashy strawberry Starburst Grenache. This is real Grenache. Serious Grenache. Grenache with an attitude. It has the most phenomenally complex aroma of wild berries, pepper, mushroom, gravel and iron. Depth, intensity and... Read more

Elegant and silky, with generous mulberry and blackberry notes. Delicate oak is used to match and support the fine palate structure, without dominating its distinctive cool climate character. The finish is drawn out with hints of cedar, nutmeg and... Read more

This could easily be Premier Cru Volnay: transparent red appearance and a very Burgundian nose of frosted rosehips, mushrooms and leather. In the mouth, gently perfumed fruit with complex truffle, tobacco and black tea flavours starting to emerge. Crisp... Read more

2019 was a colder vintage than 2018, and this is reflected in the fresh vibrancy of the wine. It has fabulously precise, bright acidity and beautiful refinement of texture. It tastes less ready than either the 2018 or 2020 vintages. Drink 2026-2036... Read more

This smells very like fine red Burgundy, with rosehip and red cherry character on the nose. In keeping with all 'even' vintages to date, 2022 was a warmer year, and this shows in the relative richness of texture – super-supple, refined, with subtle,... Read more

As soon as you take a sip, it's apparent why this is named 'Syrah' and not 'Shiraz:' it has a freshness and finesse that is far more closely allied to the Rhône valley than to the Barossa or McLaren Vale. With an impressively glass-staining black colour,... Read more

Australian Reds
Things are not quite what they seem down under! Though our good friends in Australia may appear so relaxed and laid back, in terms of winemaking their lightning responses to market changes and sharp understanding of customer needs has speedily propelled them to the forefront of this ever-changing industry. Thanks to increasing interest in Australia's diversity as a tourist hotspot, vinophiles are really beginning to appreciate the variety in terms of climate and terroir that make the country's wines not generic expressions of warm climate classics, but unique expressions of a diverse topography. From the sun-baked, red clay rolling hills of the Barossa to the undulating, maritime coastal vineyards of the Mornington Peninsula, this country has so much to offer.
