The aroma is rich with flavours of ripe blackcurrant and savoury herbs. The flavour shows spice and vanilla oak with a smooth structure and silky finish. Related to the Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have a thick skin making them higher in tannins than varieties such as Pinot Noir. This grape is popular due to its ability to be grown in a range of soils and climates from Australia and abroad such as Coonawarra, Margaret River, France and Chile. As a result, Cabernet Sauvignon is a full bodied wine with flavours of blackberry, currant and cinnamon. It pairs well hearty red meats, winter stews and even rich chocolate desserts.

Vibrant ruby red colour with notes of small red fruits, spices and vanilla. The flavour is complex yet elegant with a smooth soft finish. Slightly chilled with grilled meats and cheeses.

Studio by Miraval Vermentino is the latest release from the Brangelina stable. While Hollywood brings the razzle-dazzle reputation, Miraval is one of the worlds most authentic celebrity wine brands. Actor Brad Pitt once dreamed of becoming an architect and his enthusiasm for precision and aesthetic beauty are encapsulated by this tremendously impactful vermentino. By partnering with the Perrin Family, he found kindred souls who could use their considerable experience to farm and vinify expressive wines that stood for something. Although Miraval is based in the ancient village of Correns in Provence its - Studio de Miraval - derives from more widely sourced fruit. This neatly reflects the story of the estates recording studio which has hosted many famous rock bands including Australias AC/DC and Pink Floyd. Vermentino (also known as Rolle) is prolifically grown amongst the pine trees and olive groves along the French Riviera. The warm growing conditions and proximity to the Mediterranean Sea allow these grapes to accumulate plenty of flavour and aromatic freshness. The wine is cool vinified to promote clarity and varietal definition. Battonage (lees-stirring) is practiced achieving roundness and texture. The Studio de Miraval Vermentino is a reference style with intense pear, lime, white apricot, tonic water aromas, ripe generous flavours, attractive mid-palate creaminess, attractive bitter-sweet notes and fine minerally acidity. This is a delicious summer wine that can be enjoyed on all occasions especially with friends over a meal. Pair with salmon, pork fennel sausages, roasted vegetables, tomato salads or soft and hard cheeses.

Domaine de Chevalier uses traditional methods when making their flavoursome white blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Fermentation occurs in oak casks and is then aged for 18th in oak, some of which is new. This practice was abandoned by many in Graves, only to be (rightfully) regenerated to allow wines of substance and character to be produced once again. Chevalier's Blanc is a wine that is taut and restrained that opens up over a six to eight year period to reveal a wine of supreme delicacy.

Château Léoville-Las-Cases is classified as a 2nd Growth, but can rightfully claim to produce wines equal and superior to some 1st growths. Léoville's label (Grand Vin de Léoville du Marquis de Las Cases) doesn't mention the

Château Pontet-Canet is a classic large Pauillac property that adjoins the Mouton Rothschild vineyards that in the past has struggled to get fruit richness into their wines until Michel Rolland was called in. The wines of the past 15 years have produced lovely, voluptuous reds with ripe fruit and brilliant balance. The 2009 is quite simple a stunning incarnation of Pontet-Canet and quite possibly their best wine ever produced! A 'tour de force' of the highest standard, layers of concentrated fruit along with sublime oak integration see this biodynamically farmed vineyard reach Bordeaux perfection. Will age comfortably for the next 50 years.
