Ruby red with violet rim, complexe and intense fragrance. aromas of red fruit ,slightly spicy, with a vanilla essence. Well structured in the mouth , with soft tannins and a long after taste.

Aglianico is a red grape variety originally grown in the Basilicata and Campania regions in Italy, making the Mediterranean McLaren Vale climate a perfect fit for this variety. True to its European roots this wine has prominent cooler green peppe...

Aglianico on the march. It's all cherry and charry tannins and spice with a hit of darker fruits as it opens. There;s such vibrancy here. Washy as it may be, glassy acidity frisks things up and drinking is super easy. Brassy, not classy, a wicked ...

Medium salmon-pink colour. Nutty, smoky, toasty bouquet, with developed savouriness which hints at some barrel fermentation resulting in a complex, layered nose. Very appealing, more than simple fruit. The palate is light to medium weight and dry,...

Medium to light red/brick-red colour. Vegetal and herbal, stewed fruits and earthiness. Very light-bodied and shallow without much intensity or bright, ripe fruit flavour. Reasonably soft, but lacks sweetness of fruit. Strictly a quaffer for smoky...

Medium to pale red colour, slight purple rim. Strange green, vegetal aromas over sweet raspberry jam accents. A curate's egg. Does have its charms aromatically, but in the mouth it's different. Rather tough acid/tannin palate texture. It's not a w...

Light crimson-red; there is a chamber orchestra of fruit aromas and flavours, yet all encompassed in a reasonably limited space, with none of the fearsome tannins predicted by the back-palate. Moreover, there are some really charming red fruit not...

Floral, herbal and slight minty combination of aromas and sweet chocolaty palate. Good weight and fine tannins.

What a little Italian-Aussie battler this exceptional-value Riverina red is turning out to be. The 2008 vintage walked away with the est Red trophy at the 2010 Alternative Varieties Wine Show in Mildura, and now the 2009 has won a gold at the 201...

Smells of ripe berries and blackberry jam. Great blackberry flavour intensity with drying tannins and good acidity.

Similar in style to the Amadio Sagrantino, this wine offers ripe fruit aromas and flavours but with darker fruit characters than that of its Italian counterpart. More black cherry as opposed to raspberry and riper red fruit flavours. Substantial b...

This is a light-weight wine compared to the abovementioned taurasi. It has a medium light colour, similar to a pinot noir, and a raspberry-cordial, tutti-frutti nose which is fruit-driven and simple, but clean and pleasantly aromatic. There's no o...

Bright crimson-magenta of rose depth; in fact, has a lot of supple, fresh red fruit flavour; as good as a light-bodied red can be.

Light coloured, an expressive bouquet with strawberry flowers, and light-bodied flavours in the same vein.
