Deep salmon pink colour; light minerally nose of wild strawberries. Medium- to full-bodied, dry, strawberry puree flavour with just a touch of sweetness in mid-palate and a thread of minerality. Great length with a warm alcoholic finish.
The inaugural vintage of the Roller Riesling is well made and refreshing. Light- to medium-bodied, there is green apple, grapefruit, mineral, peach, white flowers and hints of honey. There is very good length, so pair with chicken shawarma or fish tacos.
A highly aromatic blend of Zinfandel and Shiraz that shows mulled plums, blackberry, roasted coffee bean and a range of spices on the nose. It has firm tannic structure, dark fruits, mocha, arabica coffee, tar and spice. This is a dark and flavourful wine that can cellar for 5 years or more.
Pale yellow. Sharp, aromatic nose of boxwood, lemon, grapefruit and floral notes. Light body, very refreshing attack followed by a slightly fat, savoury mid-palate. Clean finish. Enjoy now or keep up to 3 to 4 years.
A blend of Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon showing blackberries, cherries and plum flavours with hints of vanilla, cedar and spice, elegant tannins and a fresh finish.
This organic vintage includes some Chardonnay as well as the traditional l’Acadie and Seyval varieties. It shows delicate floral and soft fruit scents with persistent mousse in the glass. These themes persist on the palate with suggestions of ripe tropical-fruit sweetness balanced by lively acidity and grippy mineral.
This red Bordeaux from the Côte de Blaye region is very well priced. Deep ruby in colour, it has a cedary, blackcurrant nose with a floral note. Well-balanced and firmly structured, it’s quite forward and ready for drinking — thanks to the splendidly warm 2015 vintage. Serve it with lamb.
