Malbec principle Southern France variety

Country & Region: Australia - Victoria
Grape: Shiraz 100% (Vegan)

A soft supple Victorian Shiraz, dangerously moreish by the glass. Bright, aromatic and juicy on the nose with just a touch of naughty bacon fat. True to the varietal, the tiny proportion of Malbec in this blend gives a flowery perfume. This vintage is the winemakers brightest, most dangerously drinkable Shiraz to date due to its fine, bright fruit and soft silky elegance.

Drink with Moroccan lamb tagine, roast vegetables and hard cheeses.

Country & Region: Italy - Sicily
Grapes: Nero d'Avola 100% (Vegan)

A richly flavoured, spicy red with aromas of plum and black cherry. The ripe palate combines generous bramble fruit flavours with savoury, lightly smoky characters, a hint of bitter chocolate and nip of tannin on the finish.

Versatile and supple this lovely wine is ideal with meat or tomato sauce-based pasta dishes, or grilled red meat.
