Lobo e Falcão 2023

Item Code: 1948223

Description

Fans of smooth, mouthfilling wines take note – this is a sure contender for the Big Red crown, now with hundreds of 5-star reviews. A delicious blend of Portuguese grapes from a former royal falconry, it has lovely warmth, richness and spicy fruit.

Wine Spectator calls Portugal “the most exciting wine place on the planet”, with its terrific range of native grape varieties and wines that always offer standout value. The rich, mouthfilling Lobo e Falcão fits firmly in that category. It’s made at a 17th-century estate owned by the Lobo de Vasconcelos family, once the location of the king’s falconry. Special barrels of wine were kept for the king when he visited. Today, talented winemaker Joana Lopes makes this red specially for us, blending Syrah with Portugal’s exciting native grapes. Previously awarded a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy Award, the 2023 has lovely intensity of flavour and velvety smoothness. Generous berry fruit and spice – a very moreish red on its own, ideal for a barbecue.

Opi Malbec 2023

Item Code: 2582523

Description

This appealing red carved a name for itself on the world stage when it was named ‘Best Malbec of Argentina’ on its debut vintage. An impressive feat in a country that’s renowned for the quality of its Malbec. Velvety smooth with ripe black fruit.

Rodolfo Sadler, affectionately known as Opi, is one of Argentina’s most exciting talents. He’s an easy going, affable man, with a hint of mischief in his eyes – yet he’s incredibly humble. When probed about the secret of crafting such exceptional wines (two of which are always in our Top 20!), he simply shrugged and said, “this is how my family has always made wine.” Typical Opi – seriously modest. And why ‘Opi’? The nickname comes from his childhood, when his little sister would follow him through the family vineyards, calling out ‘Opi, Opi’, as she couldn’t quite pronounce his name. Now, four decades on and an internationally renowned winemaker, the name’s firmly stuck. Enjoy this delicious red with a grilled steak or hearty casserole.

Santa Julia Malbec 2023

Item Code: 3735823

Description

Malbec and Argentina is a marriage made in heaven for wine lovers. No other country makes such a seductive style, and few cellars excel so consistently as Familia Zuccardi of Santa Julia. Enjoy this elegant, silky Malbec from a great estate.

Familia Zuccardi ranks among the country’s most respected wine producers, winning ‘Top Value Brand of the Year’ three times, a Lifetime Achievement award in 2016 and 'South America's Best Vineyard' in 2020. During the 1950s Alberto Zuccardi started an irrigation company in Mendoza. He planted a vineyard in 1963 to show how his watering system could benefit grape quality, thereby writing himself into history and establishing the great Familia Zuccardi. Alberto’s son José now manages the business with his sons Sebastián and Miguel, while experienced winemaker Ruben Ruffo assists to ensure every wine is outstanding. Santa Julia is a smooth, easy-going and fruit-filled Malbec made for everyday enjoyment. Enjoy on its own or with simple suppers.

Low Stock The Waxed Bat 2022

The Waxed Bat 2022

Item Code: 0125022

Description

The Waxed Bat is one of Argentina’s most original and exciting wines, now with more than a 1,000 5-star reviews. It’s a sumptuous blend crafted by the Malbec magician Opi Sadler – a terrific, velvety, black fruit and spice red.



Opi Sadler is behind many of our most popular Argentine reds. And for good reason - he is a magician of a winemaker. He learnt his skills from an early age in the dark cellars of his grandfather. His family had always made wine and Opi took a healthy interest. That was despite being a little spooked by the sleeping bats that always seemed to come to life as he crept down to the cellar with his candle. He remembers vividly how they'd knock into the it and leave wax prints all over his grandfather’s cellar, hence the name of this wine.

Spicy, liquorice-scented Shiraz, cassis-laden Cabernet and dense Malbec create a wine with bags of appealing ripe fruit. Smooth enough to drink solo and great with spare ribs or veggie wraps. Open early.

Villa Clarius 2022

Item Code: 4330922

Description

The Lauren-Cabaret cellar has been making great wine in the Minervois region for almost 100 years. Villa Claudius is pure, handpicked Carignan, whole-grape fermented (like Beaujolais) to highlight its bright silky fruit, wild herbs and spice notes.

It’s rare to discover a red wine from the Minervois region made purely from Carignan. Even rarer, when it’s all from old-vine Carignan, but for this prize-winning cellar it’s something of a speciality, clear from the Gold medal that it’s already won. Winemaker Sylvain Delabre knows exactly how to get the very best from his precious handpicked grapes, bringing out all the supple blackberry and raspberry fruit, along with subtle notes of wild herbs and spice. Whole grape fermentation ensures the wine is deliciously silky and supple, with minimal tannins and no hard edges. A red wine with character and depth, and freshness too. A great choice with all sorts of midweek dishes – from grilled meats, to sausage and mash or pesto pasta.

Low Stock Way & Cat South Australia Red Blend 2020

Way & Cat South Australia Red Blend 2020

Item Code: 4149520

Description

For lovers of juicy ripe reds, this sun kissed Aussie wine is the cat’s pyjamas. Individually sourced parcels of grapes, fermented, then blended ensure an overflow of fruit forward flavour. Silky plum, raspberry and a sinuous smoky wrap.



This juicy, full of fruit Aussie red sums up the best of Aussie wine – gorgeous ripe fruit, good intensity and freshness. Great value too. Way & Cat is short for ‘wayfaring catador’, catador being Spanish for taster. So the name is a tribute to how the team source their fruit – they head out into the vineyards to taste the grapes of their grower friends. When they find the selections they like, they vinify each parcel separately, then blend the results into fruit first expressions of the varieties they chose.

That blend changes vintage by vintage, depending what performs well that year. It's top for versatility too – great as a glass on its own, tasty with roasted vegetable quiche, sausage and mash. And just the ticket at a barbecue.
