Planted by Silvano Reverdito in 1967, the year of his marriage, the Bricco Cogni vineyard is located in the comune of La Morra. It produces extremely fine and elegant Barolo Docg wines. From Michele Reverdito’s favourite Cru comes Barolo Bricco Cogni DOCG. Garnet red with orange highlights, complex bouquet with spicy notes including liquorice. On the palate rich, full and complex with harmonious tannins, fine and elegant.

Ruby red, bright but not deep, with orange tints. Intense, ample and persistent, with notes of faded violet and tobacco. Full-bodied and harmonious, with hints of plum, walnut husk and wild berries.

The Segni Di Langa Barolo DOCG 2018 is a true masterpiece from the Piedmont region of Italy. This vintage showcases the signature characteristics of the Barolo varietal, boasting a deep ruby red hue with garnet reflections. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and a hint of truffle dance elegantly with notes of violet and tobacco. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. The 2018 vintage is a testament to the skill and expertise of Segni di Langa, with its well-balanced acidity and intense flavor profile. This Barolo pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised beef or aged cheeses. Decanting is recommended to fully appreciate the complexity of this exceptional wine. A true delight for any wine connoisseur.

First produced in 1911. The fruit for Massolino's classic Nebbiolo cuvée is selected from seven sites, representing roughly seven hectares of prime-sited Serralunga vineyards. The oldest vines that feed this bottling are 55 years old (the youngest are 10), and it spends 24 months in large Slovenian oak (only).

The Glaetzer family have been part of the Barossa winemaking scene since 1888 and now Ben takes over the reigns and produces Shiraz of the utmost intensity and concentration. Named after the ancient Egyptian god Amon-Ra who was the champion of the poor and troubled and was central to personal piety, the temple of Amon-Ra is believed to be the first to plant a vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple. This incarnation is rich, full-bodied and viscous to the palate, yet with sublime oak integration and a balance on the back palate that is quite lifted allowing it to be paired with many meals and a prime candidate for medium to long term cellaring.

Elderton's Command Shiraz is one old school Barossa Shiraz. Named because of the special treatment the quality fruit 'commanded', this is a Shiraz of foreboding concentration. The fruit for this 'Excellent' Langton's classified Australian icon comes from the century old Elderton vineyard located on the banks of the Para River and is matured in a mixture of French and American oak. This allows the wine to retain its driven power while also giving the wine a level of complexity and balance unique to this region and producer. Elderton's Command can be enjoyed by lovers of ripe and rich fruit early, yet will reward the truly patient with a wine of true beauty when left alone to mature for a decade.

The Estate produces just 900 cases of this succulent, dark cherry and anise-scented Barbaresco. Like all of the Rocca family's Barbaresco, this is a single cru wine. It hails from a south facing, single site in a cru called Montersino (in the Treiso commune). One day it may well be labelled according to its cru. The altitude here is 310 metres and the soil is a mixture of clay and limestone. It's 100 per cent Nebbiolo of course, from another super vintage, and matured exclusively in large, 20 hectolitre, Austrian coopered Botti for two years. Succulent, pure and meticulously crafted, there is a wonderful core of dark cherry, lavender and tobacco scented fruit and fine structure to balance the fleshy texture. Nebbiolo in all its atmospheric glory.

Marqués de Riscal began with a dream back in 1858 and over 150 years later, the Bodega decided to commemorate the 150th Anniversary with a Gran Reserva Rioja that befitted the history and standing of such great wines. The result it this outstanding Tempranillo blend from the 2001 vintage, a truly special vintage in the Rioja region. Dark cherry in colour with complex aromas of balsamic, charred wood and layers of spices. The palate follows with a viscous mouthfeel with a good concentration of tannins and acid structure. A truly remarkable Rioja that pays a great tribute.

One word - legend. Jack Mann served Houghton for a remarkable 51 consecutive vintages. His determination to create wines of intensity, elegance and regional character have inspired a generation of Australian winemakers to achieve great things. Simply one of this country's greatest Cabernets, this wine is not just single vineyard fruit, the selection process is so rigorous that often it is just a few rows from the Justin Vineyard. Such is the reverence for that great man - Jack Mann.
