1 x Mesta Garnacha 2017 (Spain)
AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018
"A fabulous rendition of the variety; the sweetly perfumed bouquet shows Black Doris plum, raspberry coulis, violet and subtle spice aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that is silky and plush. The wine is richly fruited and generously expressed, while remaining refined and balanced. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018
Produced from our own, organically farmed vineyards in Castile this is a juicy, fleshy unoaked red wine, showing great purity and the typicity of high altitude Garnacha from the heart of Spain. The nose is expressive and well-defined showcasing aromas of black cherries and strawberries over subtle notes of spice and herbs. The palate is fresh with an excellent persistence, this is a versatile, medium to full bodied wine.

1 x Calmel & Joseph Vieux Carignan 2016 (France)
AWARDED 17/20 POINTS: Jancis Robinson Master of Wine
AWARDED 93/100 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018
"Beautiful, with slightly wild fruit – pretty alpine strawberries in a bear hug of grizzly tannins. A real ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ kind of wine! Mouth-watering acidity and gorgeous balance" Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine
"Exuberant and fragrant, the wine displays dark berry, cocoa, black tea, hazelnut and warm spice on the nose. The concentrated palate is fleshy and smooth. Wonderfully fruited and mouthfilling, this is an impressive expression of the variety" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018
Made from the Carignan grape variety, from vineyards comprising 100 year old vines! We love the Carignan grape, especially when made from old vines as it produces a concentrated, intense and delicious wine. 2016 was a good, sunny vintage. On the nose, this wine has aromas of fig and garrigue herbs typical of ancient Carignan vines grown on hillsides. The palate is delicate, with a fine balance between taste and tannins, suppleness and acidity. A wonderfully rich, elegant example of this Languedocgrape variety.

"Wonderfully fruited and immediately appealing, with a succulent palate that is brimming with rich fruit intensity. It is plump, fleshy and velvety, finishing long and delectable. A fabulous modern rendition" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2018
"This would be a fantastic – make that perfect – barbecue wine. It has all the gumption and confident fruit to go with big smoky meat, as well enough acidity and tannic balance to be refreshing" Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine
"The nose is elegantly proportioned this medium-full bodied wine has a rich and densely packed heart with juicy flavours. The mouthfeel is bright and vibrant, supported by fine-grained tannin grip with integrated acidity" Raymond Chan, May 2018
Convinced of the extraordinary potential of this region, oenologist, Laurent Calmel, and Jerome Joseph work together on the vinification, blending and ageing of wines with the common purpose of demonstrating the little known yet unique quality of these Mediterranean terroirs. The Villa Blanche range is a total find and produces some of the best value, great tasting European wines we deal with.

1 x 30 Mile Shiraz 2016 (Australia)
Awarded Gold Medal: New Zealand International Wine Show 2017
Awarded Gold Medal: China Wine & Spirit Awards 2017
Deep intense red with purple hues in the glass with fresh lifted ripe dark berry and spicy fruit aromas with some herb notes balance with some oak. A full bodied palate follows showing fresh lively dark fruits of black currants, herbs and balanced with some subdued spicy integrated oak.
Grapes were selected from premium vineyards, which experienced ideal growing conditions to produce a wine with high sugar and flavours. These grapes were then fermented in an array of vessels to produce different wines styles. Once ferment was complete the winemaker, John Quarisa, carried out careful tasting and blending to produce a finished product a rich wine of style, great value for money.

1 x Johnny Q Shiraz Viognier 2014 (Australia)
Awarded Gold Medal: New Zealand International Wine Show
Awarded Gold Medal: China Wine & Spirit Awards
Awarded Gold Medal: Catavinum World Wine and Spirit Competition
"A co-fermented 95/5% blend, all from Coonawarra; a portion was oak-matured, the remainder in tank. Notwithstanding this, the price is a mystery given its origin, the co-fermentation and, above all else, its quality. What it lacks in finesse it more than makes up in flavour" James Halliday
Intense youthful fresh ripe berry flavours with spice and pepper fruits with some complexity. Dense, ripe mulberries fruit flavours balanced with spicy oak and ripe succulent tannins. This is a belend of 95% Shiraz, 5% Viognier.
Approachable, easy going and versatile, Johnny Q will suit any occasion, because as wine malker John Quarisa’s will tell you just can’t take life too seriously! As a result his Johnny Q range encapsulates his love for life, making it the perfect accompaniment with fun times and lots of laughter. Enjoy with good friends and family...
