With profoundly satisfying full flavour and body, these are sure to enrich any dinner party or BBQ. Tuck into Puglia’s great hero grape, Primitivo, in 90pt Il Papavero. There’s a pair of old-vine Grenache-rich black reds from southern France and Spain, the classy Cabernet-rich Waxed Bat Reserve from Argentina’s master Opi Sadler. Lastly, new vintages of two richly flavoured blends – Portugal’s Stones and Bones, and Australia’s Dark Corner that between them have 20 Golds including several Double Golds and a Trophy each in their last few vintages.
A vibrant, full-flavoured red wine from a Cariñena cellar that regularly receives impressive points from Spain’s Guía Peñín. Pure Garnacha, Altogrado has an abundance of juicy ripe raspberry fruit – a deliciously drinkable, moreish drop.
Seriously intense Carignan gives a boost of inky dark fruit to soft, spicy Grenache in this stonking, velvety, southern French red, a big brother to Cabalié, one of our best loved ‘BIG reds’. This old-vine version has even more swagger.
It’s no coincidence the Papavero family of wines are amongst our customers’ favourites – winemaker Scipione Giuliani always manages to capture the very essence of the grape, the spirit of Italy and a delicious drinkability.
Velvety, mouthfilling, luscious and Gold-winning. Stones & Bones is a perfect example of just how good modern Portuguese reds are. They offer some of the most impressive flavour and value in the world – just like this bestseller.
The dense, velvety Waxed Bat Reserve is from remarkable winemaker Opi Sadler. He takes Cabernet and Malbec from the best, highest vineyards and ages the wine in barrel. Waxed Bat’s hallmark velvet black fruit taken a notch richer and deeper.
David Joecky’s global bestselling combo of Durif and Shiraz has won a Trophy, 10 Golds (3 of them Doubles) and high pts galore in 9 vintages. This 2025 arrives with the high hopes of legions of thirsty fans.
