Other Reds

Mt Etna, Italy. Just mid ruby with broad orange-tinged rim. A spicy nose packed with minerals. Succulent and a little vibrant and just mid bodied with bags of coating tannins. A little rustic and hugely satisfying...

Heathcote, Victoria. The Greenstone Vineyard comprises 20 hectares of Shiraz, Sangiovese, Colorino and Monastrell were planted on the old red Cambrian soils in Colbinabbin...

Tamar Valley, Tasmania. "Many Tasmanian wines are relatively unknown on the mainland, but they shouldn‘t be. From the Tamar Valley, this merlot/malbec/cabernet franc blend is a real find. It‘s all about finesse, with redcurrant and blackcurrant aromas and delicate overlays of rose petals and cedary oak. It‘s refined, fragrant, fresh and light in the mouth, with delicious intensity, easy-drinking structure and perfect balance..."

Adelaide Hills, South Australia. The 2019 vintage is hauntingly beautiful with an appealing nose of blue-brambly fruit and spicy black cherries. Extraordinarily smooth and fine on the palate with a gentle tumble of fruit and a light brush of textured tannin. This stylish red wine sings when paired with your favourite spicy dish - but is also perfectly matched to skillet seared lamb, crispy duck or Atlantic salmon...

Langhorne Creek, South Australia. This densely purple wine stains the glass with rich colour. The powerful dark fruit is complimented by hints of pepper and spice. The structure of oak is evident on the palate, but finely poised to compliment the astonishing intensity of black fruit and velvety texture of this commanding wine. If you are looking for a great red to drink or age, this is the One...

Langhorne Creek, South Australia. This is an intense glass of juicy and delicious red. A burst of dark primary fruit hits the palate with a compote of blueberries, blackberries and currants. These powerful fruit notes can engulf the uninitiated, but waves of spice, fresh spearmint and dried herbs can be discovered by seasoned flavour explorers...

Heartland Dolcetto & Lagrein is a blend of two indigenous northern Italian varieties that are ideally suited to the South Australian climate - particularly Langhorne Creek. The beautiful, lifted aromatics of Dolcetto are combined with the tannin structure and intensity of Lagrein. The result is an intensely perfumed wine with a concentrated, supple palate...

 

South Australia. The Stickleback blend is chosen for optimum flavour and texture, with each variety bringing a unique character to the wine. Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz give the wine a rich savoury character and great structure. Dolcetto lends brightness and lift, and Lagrein contributes spice, tannin and a fresh, crisp acidity to the palate...

Rust, Austria. Matured 12 months in large oak casks, this is a big wine to be sure, the fantastic colour is very dark red, almost opaque, and the nose is peppery and spicy, characteristics reflected on the very smooth palate, which has powerful dark cherry flavours, minerals, and a hint of marzipan. Good length, peppery/spicy finish. One for food...
