With the colour of arterial blood, the nose reveals wild berries,rhubarb and custard. A driving and electric acidity supporting the bold berry flavours. With subtle structure and spice hidden in the mix.
Aromas of ripe stone fruits, figs and dried apricot on the nose. Warm sandy textural noise characteristic of wine from hot dry country. The palate follows with more dried apricot. Clever, tasty stuff from Emiliana.
Fresh aromas of fruit and flower aromatics mingle with the spicy and smokey notes from the barrels. On the palate it feels plump fresh and mineral, with spicy, smokey fruit.
Bright notes of juicy red fruits are complimented by blackcurrant leaf notes so typical of Cabernet Franc. Smooth, medium bodied and easy drinking wine that strikes a lovely balance with its blackberry, plum and dark cherry fruit characters coupled with classic varietal leafy tones.
Offers up aromas of well-ripened wild berry fruit, plum, aromatic cedar, tobacco leaf and tanned leather. An expansive, generous palate displays rich fruit and mouthfeel, developing into a long, persistent and fruit-filled finish.
Aromas of lime, crisp apple with freshly baked pastry, and toasted almonds on the nose. The palate is ripe and full flavoured with bright citrus fruit offset by vibrant acidity and a soft creamy mouthfeel.
From dry-farmed bush vines in the Valle Central, this low yielding Carignan enjoys 15% Grenache. The nose is alive with fresh red berry compote with a touch of liquorice. The palate is hugely juicy, fresh with a gentle seam of tannin structure that is ultimately soft and supple. This is a juicy, aromatic bottle of joy!

Fragrant aromas of ripe apricot and citrus and more ripe stone fruit on the palate along with a clean, saline minerality and a zesty lemon sherbert character. The style is appealingly off-dry with a well-balanced, crisp finish.
Very dry, racy, and firm and yet opens up with lively jasmine, spicy ginger, white tea floral notes over a structured palate and intense, mineral finish. Feels like a drive through the luscious Golden Bay.
Ripe yellow apple and baking spices with a lick of citrus. The palate has flavours reminiscent of french apple tart with more baked apple, sweet pastry and the gentle mousse lending a creamy texture.
Enticingly peach-perfumed on the nose, this delicious wine delivers intense, layered flavours of orchard fruits, a touch of pineapple, white flowers and a lick of salinity, followed by a long finish.
Luscious, vibrant nose of black cherry and ripe red fruits like Santa Rosa plums, with background notes of orange peel and clove. The firm, rich tannins promise a long life; this wine will continue to develop for another 10-15 years
Beautiful pale salmon colour with an appealing herbal nose and some delicate, subtle sweet peach and red fruits. This is followed by flavours of warm southern herbs, white pepper spice and soft raspberries. Complex, interesting and a wine to sip slowly by itself or over a long lunch.
Delicate aromas of poached pear and white spice. On the palate stone fruit flavours and white pepper lead to a gently textured, mineral and citrus finish.
Instantly appealing with aromas of orange zest, poached nectarine, hazelnut, sweet baking spice and an intriguing note of wet river stone. The palate is unashamedly rich and mouth filling up front, opening to a taut core of nectarine, pear crumble and toasty oak before a fine bead of acidity draws the palate out to a long textural finish.
Aromas of wild raspberry and dried petals, plus notes of leather and spice. The palate is complex and elegant with pure red berry and cherry fruit balanced by more savoury characters of black pepper and brown spice. Fine tannins lead to a long balsamic finish balanced by fresh acidity. A fine example of Sicily's most renowned red combining richness and elegance.
Fresh floral aromas of citrus, white blossom, mandarin and lime. Further citrus characters on the textured, mineral palate with a refreshing saline acidity. A zesty, crisp and characterful white with potential to age.
Ripe dark fruit aromas with a hint of spice. The wine has rich bramble fruit with notes of blackcurrant pastille, and is finely structured with well-integrated French oak, fine tannins, a light savoury note and a twist of liquorice on the finish.
Watermelon pink, with summer pudding aromas on the nose. The medium-dry palate has red apple, some perfumed white peach with a balancing, refreshing acidity on the finish. Don't knock it, try it!
Super expressive and clearly Sauvignon but in a style all of its own? There?s a real ?young nettles? good enough to eat? sort of feel here and without doubt it also smells quite distinctly of cashflow!
Aromas of dark fruits and light spice. Plum and bramble fruit balanced by toasty characters on the structured palate. The tannins are nicely woven in, there is a chunky texture but good fruit intesity which balances this wine out nicely.
