Wirra Wirra The Absconder Grenache McLaren Vale, Australia Red - Rich and Intense 4.5 from 11 User Ratings 92 / 100 from 26 Critic Reviews Many critics score this McLaren Vale wine highly. Critic tasting note: Still a medium hued crimson colour, no whole bunches here, nine months in older French oak. Spicier than the previous wines, a little meatier in terms of its aromas. Mouthfilling and ripe fruit, really quite tangy, there's a plummy quality, but a rasp of tannin and souring acidity that gives some grip and real gastronomic appeal." - 91/100, Tom Cannavan

Deep ruby colour. Creamy with expressive, aromatic fruits like cherries. Cabernet Sauvignon, Franc and Merlot Blend.

This organic red wine will have fans of Zinfandel buzzing with delight. Made in Southern Puglia, it has a fleshy, rich character capable of carrying a large dollop of spice inherent in the variety. A perfect match with almost all red meats, particularly when off the grill!

KEFALONIA.....A bone-dry and intriguing wine with a heady mix of iodine, peaty aromas, exotic fresh fruit, melon and dried pear. Mouth-wateringly fresh on the palate with plenty of tension on the long finish. Vinified following a philosophy of minimal intervention. A cool pre-fermentation maceration lasted for eight to 10 hours to extract aromas and flavours. The free run musts and pressed musts were fermented separately with wild yeasts at controlled temperatures before spending one month on the fine lees with periodical stirring to impart texture and complexity. The wine was gently filtered prior to being bottled. The bottle was then submerged UNDER FRESH WATER, in special tanks in the winery. This new method of maturation promotes constant temperatures, darkness and lack of oxygen, resulting in an aromatic wine, with a pure fruit character. 91 points Robert Parker

With aromas of red fruit and spice, this has all the expression and balance of Rioja Alta. Tempranillo, garnacha, mazuelo
