Nicole Chanrion Domaine de la Voute des Crozes Cote de Brouilly 2018

Ripe red berries are laced with hints of schist from the soil, expanding through a soft finish of well-integrated tannins. Clean and buoyant, it has the guts to stand up to most foods.

Wine Spectator says: “Raspberry and tart cherry flavors are flanked by smoke, herb and rose petal notes in this supple red, accented by elements of spice. Offers plush tannins on the licorice-tinged finish. Drink now through 2024.”

Yalumba Samuel's Garden Eden Valley Viognier

Pure aromas are reminiscent of fresh apricots, lifted ginger, saffron and fresh white flowers. The palate is long, rich and luscious, with intense and expressive stone fruit flavors and hints of orange peel, finishing with an alluring freshness. This wine will continue to grow and develop in the bottle, firstly showing enhanced apricots and spice, then after a couple of years developing honey flavors and toast complexity.

A wonderful food wine that complements spiced dishes. Try it with Moroccan tajine and spiced cous cous or pork dumplings with ginger and chilli oil dipping sauce.

Decanter says: “Delicate apricot and acacia aromas, creamy texture with peach, quince and delicate ginger spice towards the end. Notes of melon and juniper carry through on the long finish, with a pleasant mineral salinity.”

Gruet Sauvage Rosé Sparkling Wine

With zero dosage, Sauvage Rose has vibrant fruit flavors of wild strawberry and hint of cherry really shine on the nose and palate and are complemented by bright acidity.
