92 Points - Luca Maroni. This is produced from high-altitude vineyards using hand-picked Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Corvinone grapes. The vines’ altitude imbues a lovely freshness and aromatics to the wine which are balanced by it being made in their patented Fermentino Ca'Botta® tank for greater richness of structure and aroma.

91 Points (2019) - Natalie Maclean - A consistently great McLaren Vale Shiraz. Generously rich with amazing fruit weight and balanced, chewy tannins. Brimming with ripe red fruits and an underlying layer of subtle oak, as well as a hint of pepper. This wine represents great value, and has a long life ahead of it... If you can resist! Taste  Earthy, spicy Shiraz from McLaren Vale in South Australia, full of black plums, liquorice and black pepper, with a peaty under layer of mushroom, pipe tobacc

91 Points - Falstaff. Deep, dark and tempting, and seriously seductive, Papale Oro has aromas of kirsch, plum and spicy oak, and flavours of rich dark chocolate, ripe cherries and spice. This is Puglian wine at its best, with great character and warmth, and a 'friendliness' sometimes lacking from its northern Italian cousins. It has delicious spiciness, complexity and pure fruit intensity, with ultra-plush, velvety texture. There are layers of ripe black cherry and blueberry fruit, and everythin

91 Points - Vinous. From the son of acclaimed producer Alain Graillot, Maxime. The organic fruit (from 35-year-old vines) is de-stemmed, spending one year in old oak (used barrels from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) with a touch of new. This is an appealing, pretty, fruit-forward Crozes with aromas of violets, plump blackberry, plum, licorice, and chocolate followed by a tighter palate with grainy tannins and high acidity. An accomplished, balanced, and restrained wine. Wine Press Ratings 91 Point

91 Points - Decanter / Silver Medal. Intense lifted aromas of ripe red berries play with notes of violet, pepper and dark chocolate. Full bodied with complex forest fruits, plums, spice and velvety tannins. Situated on a similar latitude to renowned wine regions like Gisborne in New Zealand, Sonoma and Napa Valleys in the USA, Mendoza in Argentina, Sicily in Italy, and Jerez in Spain, Victoria stands as the southernmost and coolest state on mainland Australia and has gained fame for its diverse

Cahors, in the South West of France is the ancestral home of Malbec, where in its French form, it is a more savoury, dark skinned & brooding variety that its Argentinian cousin. Perfected over the centuries, The 'Grand Vin' of Clos la Coutale, Grand Coutale, is a blend of Malbec, Merlot & Tannat with an average yield of only 25 hl, then matured in new oak barrels for 2 years with regular stirring to produce supple and silky tannins. This is an intense, inky, black fruit dominated full-bo

This Barolo Ascheri from Michele Reverdito comes from the classic chalky soils high above Barolo in the hill town of La Morra. This very approachable Barolo has an enticing nose of flowers and dark cherries, soft tannins, mineral notes and acidity all in perfect balance.    About the Producer The Reverdito winery in La Morra was established in 2000, and is the point of arrival of a long journey embarked on in the late Sixties by Silvano, the father of owners Michele and his sister Sabina Reverdi

One of Italys most revered red wines, Amarone is a powerful and concentrated wine enhanced by the partial drying of the grapes before pressing. Carefully selected grapes are put in small plastic crates and dried in ventilated rooms for about three months. When they reach the perfect grade of dryness they are pressed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The fermentation lasts for about 30 days to develop the optimal level of alcohol. After a period in concrete tanks, whe

Bronze Medal - DWWA. A great Barolo from the cru Ravera, close to the villages of Barolo and Novello, from the extraordinary 2019 vintage. This Barolo from Cagliero is pure and authentic, beautiful structure with a bouquet of violets, ripe fruit (plums) and spices. Layered and round in the mouth and beautifully balanced, young but pleasant tannins on the tongue, resulting in an endless finish. Already very good today, this wine will age beautifully for years to come!

Elevated to AOC status in 1990 from its humble Côtes du Rhône Villages origins, Vacqueyras is a small town in the Southern Rhône producing full-bodied, rich and complex wines, more approachable then its more famous neighbours Gigondas and Châteauneuf du Pape. Aged in oak for 12-18 months, and consisting of 80% Grenache, 15% Sryah and 5% Mourvedre, this is a deeply complex and brooding red. Great value wine! Taste Winemakers tasting notes: Dark red colour, deep with purple reflections. The nose

This rare wine from The Kingsvale Vineyard, retains its freshness, with delicious, sweet fruity flavour. Oak and fruit tannins gives structure and dry out the finish. The 2013 vintage was extremely dry and so only a small vintage was produced making it a rich, full-bodied shiraz more like a Barossa style than your typical Hilltops variety. This is the last harvest to ever come from the Kingsvale Vineyard and has the potential for another 10 years of careful cellaring but is ready to be drunk now

95 Points - Faltstaff. Solengo was the brainchild of the legendary winemaker and father of Super Tuscan wines, Giacomo Tachis. The first vintage was 1995 and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Sangiovese. The wines are aged in French barriques for twelve months and are blended just before the bottling. A long period in bottle follows before the finished Solengo is released. Solengo, by the way, means solitary wild boar in Tuscan, and describes perfectly the regal, powerful,

Viandante is the boldest creation of Viandante del Cielo, a wine of structure and poise modelled on the great vintages of Bordeaux, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with an important Merlot supporting act. The varieties may be international, but the lakeside terroir exerts a strong influence and makes this a distinctly Umbrian variation on the theme.  Vivino Rating: 4.2 (Apr 2024) Taste Dark ruby with violet tinge, complex and lifted nose of cigar box, blackcurrant leaf and crunchy morello cherry

Pristinvm, Latin for ‘ancient, original, traditional’ is a rich, lively, aromatic blend of great finesse in which native the variety Ciliegliolo is complemented by three other red varieties that have long been planted in the area. Full bodied with an intense dark fruited nose with black pepper from Ciliegiolo. Velvety yet definite tannins are enveloped in toasty oak that would release additional layers of complexity over time.  Taste Full bodied red with intense dark fruited nose, black pepper f

96 Points - Luca Maroni. This is a modern take on a classic Amarone. Made using the appassimento method with semi-dried grapes in Tenute Ca’s patented Fermentino Ca'Botta tank to give even greater richness and body.  This opulent, heady wine is aged in 225-litre French oak barrels and allowed to rest in the bottle before release.  This is Tenute Ca’s signature wine, one that is a must-try for lovers of powerful reds.

In the centre of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, in the municipality of Ampuis, stands the locality of “Bonnivières”, a handsome east-facing hillside of mica schist where this Cuvee is grown. A typical Côte Brune wine, Bonnivières is full-bodied, but not excessive, with discreet oak and a superb velvety structure. Complex and profound, with a nose of dark fruits, spice, tobacco, and a faint roasted edge, the Bonnivières 2017 is drinking beautifully now, but could still be laid down for years to come
