Argentine Malbec
- Int ( 0 - )
The Argentine Malbec has found uniquely favourable growing conditions in
Argentina
and has no doubt created one of the most successful and delicious Malbec
wines
in the world. A combination of desert climate, cold nights, and irrigation
of eternal snows from the Andes, creates an especially healthy environment
for these vines. An intense bouquet of damson plums, blackcurrant and
violet aromas give way to a slight touch of hunting and leather notes.
This richly purple coloured Malbec carries a velvety texture with long,
soft flavours. Although it ages beautifully, firm tannins and mellow
acidity allow
this wine to be enjoyed while young.
Australian Cabernet
Sauvignon - Int ( 0 -
- )
The bold, individualistic style of Australia’s winemakers has unleashed
the full potential behind the ‘king of red grapes’, captured
here in our Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Combines forward fruit flavours
of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant with a tremendous backing of tannin
and structure. Rich and polished with a long, layered finish warmly accentuated
with oak.
Australian Cabernet/Shiraz
- Int ( 0 -
- )
The blend that made Australia famous. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structural
intensity perfectly complements the ripe fruit and chocolate flavors of
Shiraz, for rich, complex and hearty red wine of outstanding character.
Big, bold and dark – a luxurious treat.
Australian Shiraz
- Int ( 0 -
)
The grape that was made for Down Under - its hot climate perfect for bringing
out the best traits in this popular grape varietal. Australian Shiraz
is seductively delicious, with startlingly rich, ripe aromas that deliver
right through to the full zesty finish. Amazingly, the style allows for
polished tannins early, so the young wine is not rough or harsh. The aged
version retains the core fruit flavours of plums, cherries and blackberries,
but gains extra polish. Pair this Shiraz with flavorful meals!
Chilean Cabernet
Sauvignon - Int ( 0 -
)
Our Chilean version of this classic boasts black pepper and berry bouquets.
Notably flavorful, with tannins that develop with age. Pairs with beef,
turkey, lamb and stews.
Chilean Merlot
- Int ( 0 -
)
Powerful fruit and spice flavor, with mellow tannins for a supple finish.
Deserves ageing, but will develop quicker than Cabernet Sauvignon and
will stand up to the same food pairings.
French Cabernet
Sauvignon - Int ( 0 -
)
The world’s most renowned red wine, from the world’s most renowned
wine country. Deep ruby red colour, with characteristic fruit intensity

French Merlot

French oak.
Italian Amarone

Italian Amarone is a very intense and complex wine, with a wide array
of flavours and aromas. Deep ruby red, this heavyweight wine exudes aromas
of sour cherries, dark chocolate, stewed plums, dried fruits, anise, raisins,
bitter almond, tobacco, leather and molasses, and has a spicy-earthy bittersweet
finish that lengthens on indefinitely from the huge volume of tannins.
Delightful with food, Italian Amarone is often enjoyed by itself, sipped
outside of mealtimes with good conversation and good friends.
Italian Montepulciano
- Int ( 0 - )
Montepulciano is a vigorous red grape variety widely planted over much
of east-central Italy, capable of creating deeply coloured, rich red wines
with blackberry fruit flavours and spicy, peppery tannin levels. Montepulciano
generally produces wines that are smooth and mellow yet robust and mouth
filling, with dependably high alcohol content. Superb with veal and pasta
– an Italian gem you won’t want to miss.
Italian Sangiovese
( 0 - )
Italian Sangiovese (san-joe-VAY-zee) has a bright red cherry character,
overlaying strawberry notes, with hints of violets and white pepper. It's
medium body and long, wonderfully smooth, tannic finish is livened by
a zing of acidity and toasty oak.
Chilean Pinot
Noir ( 0 -
)
Winexpert’s Selection International Series Chilean Pinot Noir is
a bright ruby colour with delicate aromas of red berry flavours. Medium

wine is excellent with salmon, roast beef and lamb.

on the palate, easy drinking

earlier in Italy than in all other regions and well before its characteristic
