Brilliant pale lemon. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Dense purple-black. Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Dense and structured, built to age. The aftertaste is bright and mineral. Excellent with roast lamb and herbs. A solid, dependable choice.

A pale straw gold. Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Bright and zesty with a saline edge. It finishes with polished, chalky tannins. A benchmark for the region.

Crystalline pale gold. Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. Highly recommended.

Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Silky texture and great length. Punches well above its weight.

A pale straw gold. Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. Lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. Excellent with roast lamb and herbs. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.
