Easy drinking wines come and go but this one will not go out of style…try it and love it! An exquisite marriage of Colombard and Sauvignon make this a refreshing wine bursting with flavours.  A mixture of citrus, floral and exotic aromas hit the palate.   With its soft finish it is perfect as an aperitif and with any fish or seafood dishes.

With the hot weather continuing we are in an Australian mood this week.  Red wines are not associated with summer but this Shiraz is perfect in the heat. Slightly spicy but light it shows vibrant red berry and cherry flavours rounded off with a hint of vanillin oak.  Medium bodied it is perfect for BBQ’s and one of our summer bestsellers. The De Bortoli winery started from humble beginnings and has remained family owned throughout its progression to creating premium wines.  This Accomplice is produced in the Riverina region of South Australia where the flat plains and fertile red earth...

Summer holidays are always something to look forward to...why not try this Chenin Blanc while you make last minute plans.  Selected from our specially curated Summer Selection Box.   Some South African Chenins are better than others, this won’t disappoint with rounded tropical fruit notes and a refreshing crispness - perfect for the summer.  The grapes are harvested by hand from old vines in Paarl and Drakenstein.  Once blended, the wine is left to ferment naturally, often on lees for an extended period to increase the flavours.   Great value. The Western Cape is a mountainous area bordering both the Indian...

As spring is in full swing now, we are starting to eat lighter meals and salads…so now is the time to try this delightfully fresh wine. This young white Rioja has soft fruity aromas.  It is light and fresh on the palate with hints of pear and apple making it an excellent springtime aperitif.  As the days start to warm up, it will make a great companion to fish and chicken dishes. Monopole is produced by the fifth generation of the founders of CVNE (Compania Vinicola del Norte de Espana), mainly from handpicked Viura grapes in northern Spain.  It has...

As colder weather has returned to us this week, grab a blanket, snuggle up and enjoy a warming glass of Malbec. This rich smooth Malbec from Argentina has a deep ruby colour with spiced plum and red berry fruit flavours.  Full bodied but soft in an appealing robust, rounded style that’s perfect for red meat.  A must have for Sunday lunch with the family. The winery in Maipu, Mendoza, benefits from year round winds from the Andes bringing in hot and dry air which improves the vines and leads to uniform ripening resulting in this extremely pleasing wine.
