A wine that assertively expresses the qualities of a fine vintage.
It's very expressive and polished, with supple, sweet strawberry fruit, juicy acidity and medium weight tannins all pulling in the same direction.
A hint of sweet spice on the finish only adds to the allure.
Aromatic plum and raspberries with freshness and balance, the wine has a round central core of red fruit that gives way to a complex mid-palate full of cassis, dark cherry, spice and vanilla.
A very clean, medium bodied wine that is both interesting and delicous with good acidity giving it good length.
Warm & rich with layers of flavour - hints of blackberry and dried plums, even notes of coffee.
An absolute cracker for this price!
A bouquet reminiscent of cherry, rhubarb and dry herbs.
Medium weight, the palate texture is silky, while the flavours are complex and memorable.
A beautifully structured Central Otago pinot noir.
On the palate it is a full bodied pinot noir, with flavours of black cherries, berry fruits and anise.
The fruit weight is complemented by fine, silky tannins, providing length and persistence to the palate.
Modern but full of tradition, this Classic Valpolicella "Ripasso" is divine! Thanks to good structure and (importanly) aging in bottle.
Elegate, round and persistent.
Vigna 800 Amarone displays an intense complex bouquet with multi-layered aromas of dark flowers like violets & red roses, cherries preserved in alcohol, morels and plums. Hints of black pepper, liquorice and plain chocolate.
A palate of warm, elegant and velvety in the mouth feel with a long persistence and harmony.
Do you like medium to full bodied red wine that is silky smooth? You'll love this drop.
Soft elegant texture with dense structure and a lasting finish - this is what valpolicella is about!
Fragrant tones of spicy and morello cherry - hints of almonds.
Full and warm with a super velvety length that is simply delicious!
