Yalumba The Y Series Shiraz
Region: Barossa Valley
2 x 75cl Bottles
Shiraz grapes are carefully harvested at the moment of optimum ripeness before undergoing pressing to extract all the juice. The must then spends an extended period of time on its skins and temperature controlled fermentation to extract the maximum fruit freshness from the grapes. After fermentation, 80% of the wine spends 3 months in French oak, before blending with the unoaked wine and bottling. The result is a great value bottle of red wine full of black plums, damsons, blackberry and licorice flavours with a touch of vanilla spice on the finish.

From a French family with four generations of winemaking flowing though their veins comes this 100% Carignan, made from grapes grown in Pays d'Oc near the Mediterranean. Ruby red in the glass, Georges Vigouroux Hommage Merlot I.G.P. has a nose of beautiful brioche and red fruits intertwined with mint, both of which follow through on the light palate.

Chateau Roc de Levraut Bordeaux Superieur
Bordeaux, France
2 x 75cl Bottles
A Monumental Bordeaux from third generation winemaker Remy Ballerin. The 2016 is in the classic structured style that shows red and black fruit, a touch of cassis, that mixture of dark berry and sage-like herbal musk so prevalent in Bordeaux reds, and a lovely plump blueberry from the Cabernet Franc. The tannins are noticeable, but don't dominate the wine, suggesting instead that there will likely be a few years of ageing capacity here.
This is a remarkably tasty Bordeaux made in the classic mould. Delicious for drinking now but capable of cellaring for up to five years or more .
