NEW EVEN LOWER PRICE
DRY RIVER CHARDONNAY
from Australia - White - £4.99

 

Very pleasant Chardonnay from Australia at a really good price. Generously dry yet soft & fragrant with a good balance of acidity & flavour. Soft long after-taste. Fantastic everyday drinking.The nose is dominated by a mix of lemon, smoke, marzipan, and clove, but more fruit emerges on the palate, including some tropical touches. Very clean and elegant, this medium-bodied Chardonnay has food-friendly acidity and weight...

JIP JIP SHIRAZ
AUSTRALIA £7.99
Mmmmmmm

The nose exudes a complex aroma of ripe black fruits, tobacco, menthol, tar, earth, eucalyptus, and band-aid. In the mouth it is meaty – in weight, texture, and flavor. It has a smoked meat element, along with dried or cooked fruit (prune?), black cassis, tobacco leaf, and blackberry. Tannins are bold, acidity is medium. There is a bit of expected hotness in the tail end of the finish – but that’s what you get with a wine of this ripeness. Finishes bone dry with dried black fruit and spice flavors lingering. Tasty on its own if you like bold wines, better when matched with protein – burgers, cheese, roasted meats.

 

MORAMBRO SHIRAZ
This is a BIG BIG Shiraz from Australia
- £12.65

 

Opaque black purple colour with black purple hue. The nose is perfumed – top note of violet, blackberry, vanilla and spice with a touch of earth and liquorice over a black pepper background. Fine dry, balanced tannins. Aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice and spice all in balance with the alcohol..

BETHANY GR LIMITED
best Shiraz ever from Australia

£45.00

 

GR has evolved over time to be one of the Barossa's salient Shiraz wines. It is not every year that a GR is made. Parcels of the most splendid fruit from distinguished sites are treated to a separate vinification. Each vintage the red wines is assessed and a decision is made to determine if there is a parcel of GR quality. A formidable, full bodied classic red wine with an enormous palate, complex engaging aromas and undeniable ageing potential. Fewer than 5,000 are bottled
