Other Reds

Barossa & Eden Valley, South Australia. ‘Plenty of bath powder perfume! Tim likes to keep things pretty clean I’d say, and he’s certainly got all his ducks in a row here. Then into a much less soft and fluffy palate – firm, dry and energetic, lemons and limes, with a particularly lemony acid cut. Like the purity and bony crunch on the very long finish. Nice!’...

Tuscany, Italy. Spicy notes of French oak rise above distinct aromas of cherry and berry. The palate has a backbone of Sangiovese, a roundness of Merlot and enhanced body from the oak. The fruit purity and varietal signatures are testament to the meticulous care given to the young vines...

Tuscany, Italy. This is a sensual wine with notes of cherry fruit, tobacco, leather and hints of licorice and spice. The elegant tannins balance nicely with the fruit, all underlined by a fabulous stratum of acidity, making this a complex wine with incontestable structure and power. A long and satisfying finish...

Tuscany, Italy. Rich, concentrated and muscular, yet wonderfully balanced with big tannins and deep tiers of cherry, plums and wild berries, and nuances of spice, vanilla and licorice. A long flavorful aftertaste echoes with juicy fruit and mouthwatering tannins for minutes afterwards. Sensual and young, this wine promises a long life in the bottle...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Some peppery whole bunch lift, dark chocolate, mint and liquorice, black fruit and framboise – stuff like that. Then round and chewy, with sweet nutty fruit, grainy tannin, fresh through the middle and long at the back. Unusually savoury too. That’s really really good. So much character and life to this wine...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. A truly charismatic red table wine with high perfumed dark red spiced summer fruits that runs through the palate with added licorice, violets and smoked cured meats and the finish is long, fresh and lively with lovely ripe fine tannins...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Packed with Sangiovese high fragrances of cherry, dried fig, mulberries & provincial herbs. The flavours flow on from the aromatics which are full, delicious and savoury with a lovely juicy, bright refreshing palate and supple ripe tannin lift with oak in minor. A lovely table wine most suited to tomato based pastas, pizzas, grilled meats and hard cheeses...

Barolo, Piedmont, Italy.  Bright crimson-ruby. Hint of violets on ripe plummy fruit. Light bodied, fleshy ripe plum fruit with great acid balance and good savoury finish. Totally moreish...

Barolo, Piedmont, Italy.   'Red fruits, spice and a whiff of bark, menthol and liquorice root. Medium bodied, all cherry and liquorice here, with a smooth but gently chalky set of tannin, strawberry and tea come though on the firm finish...

A true Italian style red that is ideal with Italian food. Flavours of cherry, spice, black olive and hints of leather gather on the palate, and the finish is long and savoury...
