Cabernet Sauvignon

Rich & Bold

Finca Aylés is located in the northeast of Spain, near the city of Zaragoza, halfway between Madrid and Barcelona.  The wine project of the Ramón Reula family began its journey in the 1980s and ended with the reunification of various properties that had belonged to the Finca Aylés since the Middle Ages. Today, Aylés is one of the largest private historical farms in Aragón.  

Attractive deep cherry red in colour. The wine displays a pronounced intensity on the nose, well defined, with an extraordinarily complex and wide range of aromas; think dark red fruits, ink, and spices.  On the palate the wine is clearly defined by its elegance and ripe fruit intensity. It's harmonious and well balanced leading to a rich finish. 

It's the perfect wine to pair with rich meats and anything on the BBQ.

Floral & Rustic

The vineyards of Fattoria di Sammontana are located along the hills that border the Arno River, 20km to the south west of Florence. Today, the family - now in its fourth generation - runs the farm according to organic and biodynamic practices, with the intent to fully preserve and sustain the traditions and winemaking history of the land.

In the language of potters, “Primo Fuoco” is the initial clay firing that leads to the creation of terracotta (with a second and a third firing you get different types of ceramic and majolica). This wine is fermented naturally and matured in a large terracotta amphora, hand made from local red clay (“terra rossa”).

On the nose, Primo Fuoco Rosso is floral and fruity. The notes of cherry dominate with a mineral touch that is almost flinty. The palette is long and lucious.

Perfect with white and red meats, as well as with aperitivo, such as quiche and hard cheeses.

At the beginning of the 1900’s the Nuti family bought a small plot of land in a locality known as “La Regola”, in the town of Riparbella, (a place name found in the Florence land register dating back to the 1700’s), to produce a small amount of olive oil and wine for family consumption. From the small cellar under the house, which was called "cillieri", the first production of the "La Regola"  was born. After three generations in 1990, Luca the eldest son, obtained a degree in agriculture, deciding to transform the small family wine production into a company structured winery and began to plant other vineyards and market the first bottles.

In addition to the cultivation of native vines such as Sangiovese and Vermentino, the company has added French white and red grape vines to their production, among which Cabernet Franc is a stand out. This Tuscan blend offers an inviting nose of vanilla and currents opening into a very berry-driven palate with extended notes of  blackberries, dark cherries and figs. The wine closes with notes of dried herbs and ground coffee, sculpted by building tannins. 

Pour this alongside roasted red meats, Fiorentina steak and aged cheeses (4-6 yrs).

At the Southerly point of Africa, along the Cape South Coast is the coolest wine region - Elgin. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at an altitude of 450m along the Southern ridge lies the unique Iona vineyards surrounded by the Unesco certified Kogelberg Biosphere. Iona's approach is hands off and the land is farmed according to organic and biodynamic practices with a particular focus on ensuring the health of the soils whilst pests are kept under control by the resident flock of geese that roam the vineyards.

The One Man Band represents the notion of constant endeavour – the role of the musician bravely playing his many instruments is a reminder of the distinct vineyards and endeavour dedicated to growing the various varietals that are meticulously blended each year making this focussed and harmonious cool-climate red blend. This wine reveals peppery spice and velvety tannins, with layers of bramble and black cherry fruit.

Pair this unique red blend with a variety of dishes, including pork belly and braised chicken, pasta marinara, grilled aubergine and portabella mushrooms .
