Jordan no added sulphur Bordeaux – Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc make up this juicy red blend made for early enjoyment
Copper Pot Pinot Noir by Thorne and Daughters – soft tannins, great freshness & some weight on the mid-palate. Enjoyable now, but will definitely reward ageing.

Raptor Post red by Fable Mountain Vineyards – vibrant red fruit backed by herbs and spice. Soft tannins and more-ish palate. Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre
Rainbows End Shiraz – delicious, medium body with notes of red plum, herbs. One to sip around the fire.
Laibach Ladybird red – organic. Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot with 1% Malbec. Earthy, savoury nose with typical cigar box, cedar notes. Plush fruity palate with fine, chalky tannin. |
