Sister’s Run is serious fun and serious wine. The talented, young winemaker Elena Brooks (of Dandelion Vineyards and Heirloom Vineyards fame) wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.

Ripe white chocolate fruit aromatics begin in a lifted and pleasantly powerful way; some spice bouquet wafts in from deft oak, and then zephyrs of violets, fresh green herbs, star anise, and eucalyptus float by, at once there and then not there. There is a superb and beautifully underplayed supporting cast, however, of round, smooth
tannic grip, of warm vibrant freshly milled black pepper, of stewed plums doused with a shot of pastis and finished with a grating of dark chocolate.

The balance between richness and tannin, between power and an underlying acid tension and edge, make this red wine almost too drinkable. You could serve this with as much ease alongside an eggplant laksa or a barbecued piece of peppered chicken. Don't be afraid to cellar some of this wine too. There's reward ahead.

Initially planted by the Phoenicians around 600BC, wines from La Clape were highly sought after across the Roman Empire. The first Languedoc appellation to be granted Grand Cru status, today the massif is recognized internationally as a superior terroir producing world class wines. Representing almost 10% of the production of the Grand Cru, Château Capitoul has for centuries been an icon of La Clape.

A distinguished and powerful nose where black fruits and spices are mixed. Its lively and fresh taste develops an elegant and complex structure. The silky tannins slowly blend with notes of roasting, black cherry, black olive and cedar.

Pair this wine with beef tournedos with morels, vegetable tian, Provençal style, tagliatelle pesto and pine nuts, Reblochon, Saint Nectaire.

Grown from humble roots in McLaren Vale, SA. Colab and Bloom is a collaboration of like-minded friends with a mission; to create expressive and drinkable wines. The result?... A flourish of sublime aromas and abundant flavours. 

This wine is generous in every sense. Lots of texture, plump, mouth filling and riper dark fruits. A dark berry compote with sweet spice and black forest cake. Full bodied with concentration on the palate along with a spice, aniseed, and a gentle tannin network. It’s super rich, complex with a long dark fruit finish with real carry.

As suggested by the winery, pair this wine with a charred rib-eye steak served with roasted potatoes and a pepper sauce.

Calvary Hill produces real depth - diving-bell like depth. And there is that classic Barossa dark, salted chocolate aroma and flavour. Cinnamon, nutmeg, liqueured chocolate, but all bound by cloak of savouriness. The fruit heft is perfectly balanced by keen acidity, providing overarching structure. Indeed, this is an organized wine, with architectural qualities.

Great richness but great line and balance. We imagine drinking this wine with hard local cheeses the cheese is optional.

Cantine Paradiso is located is the South of Italy, in the region of Puglia. Angelo Paradiso, the third generation of winemakers in the family, manages the vineyards and the winery.

This wine is made from Primitivo, a native grape to Puglia. It has an intense purple colour in the glass. On the nose, it delivers pronounced notes of ripe dark fruit, hints of spices and some floral notes. The palate is juicy with soft tannins and a really nice acidity. It is a very easy-drinking and enjoyable Primitivo.

This wine pairs perfectly with tomato-based dishes: pasta bolognese, veal parmigiana, pizza... But would also be a great pairing with curries and spicy barbecue dishes too!

From the signature sea breezes of McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula to the delightfully hidden gem of Kuitpo Forest and the cool charms of the Adelaide Hills – Monterra produce wines that speak wondrously of these unique regions. Working closely in their estate vineyards and with long term growers, they grow grapes that rejoice in the natural conditions of their environs to be the finest example of every vintage.

Classic blackberry cassis along with cigar box on the nose and palate, with a touch of
mulberry and silky tannins. A medium-bodied wine with integrated complex flavours,
smooth tannins and lingering pleasant finish.

These characteristics make this Cabernet a good match for beef, lamb and game, simply prepared. Braised lamb shanks, grilled steaks, and roast prime rib are good choices too.

A small family winery (Mike, Gale, Amanda, Angela and Matt) that produces Rhône-style red and white wines from two vineyard properties in the Walla Walla Valley. They produce wines only from varietals that they love and farm themselves. From their first vintage in 2007, the wines have been remarkable with a consistent complexity, depth of flavour, finish and distinctive terroir. Almost everything they do is by hand, planting each vine in the vineyards, trellising, pruning, dropping fruit and then picking and sorting the berries at harvest. 

The density and power of this wine is stunning. There is weight without feeling heavy, incredible complexity of blackberry cobbler, star anise, ripe plumb, saddle leather, Asian spice, oyster shell and wet gravel. For Contender fans, this is up there with the 2009 vintage where the 5% of Marsanne shows through giving it a viscous texture.

Pair this wine with succulent BBQ ribs, braised meats, venison or rich stews.

Elegant straw in colour, with aromas of white peach, green apple, pear and subtle hints of wet stone. Fine fruits drive the palate with a creamy mouthfeel creating extra harmony, before complex brioche-like complexity and crunchy acidity.

Pair this wine with shellfish, calamari or chicken dijon, or go vegetarian with an asparagus and bok choy frittata!

Radford Dale is one of South Africa’s leading independent wineries. Based on the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, they specialize in producing site-specific, natural wines.

With a strong influence from Alex Dale’s upbringing in Burgundy, the making of this Chardonnay is also adapted to their particular conditions, specifically this ocean-facing parcel of Stellenbosch – the mineral geology and temperate maritime climate both lending much to the equation. Restraining acidity, citrus flavours and invisible, integrated oak, is the introverted side of its character; ripeness and great persistence on the palate the more expansive side. Genuinely mineral, with a crisp lime-citrus edge and an elegant yet intense durability. A Chardonnay striving to be individual, focused on backbone not brawn.

Try this wine with salmon with roasted shiitakes and mushroom sauce, seafood, poultry or a creamy risotto.

The Cortonesi family has owned the La Mannella farm in Montalcino for decades and are devoted to the production of Brunello di Montalcino. The Riserva is made only in the very best vintages. The grapes for this wine come from the best selection from the La Mannella vineyards.

"Truffle, Mediterranean scrub, grilled herb and ripe plum aromas fill the glass. The assertive palate shows dried wild cherry, raspberry, powdered sage and a flash of leather alongside youthfully austere tannins that leave a rather drying finish." WE

Meyer Family Vineyards have been crafting wines in the Okanagan Valley since 2006. Voted one of the top wineries in Canada, they focus on small lot productions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir drawing heavily from Burgundian influences.

This is classy chardonnay from Jak Meyer; whose wines have been turning heads for quite a few years now, especially those of the judges at the WineAlign National Wine Awards. The 2018 McLean Creek bottling from Okanagan Falls is beautifully bright and appealingly spartan, with minimal oak and lees influence in favour of bright citrus, peach and apple blossom flavours. But it's really the palate that shines with its taut acids and laser sharp delineation, not to mention the impressively lingering finish.

Top notch, and top value, classy wine. Pair this Chardonnay with any chicken dish, baked, grilled, or fried. It would also pair nicely with seafood.

Meyer Family Vineyards have been crafting wines in the Okanagan Valley since 2006. Voted one of the top wineries in Canada, they focus on small lot productions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir drawing heavily from Burgundian influences. This is from Meyer's Old Main Road vineyard in Naramata.

Each year the Tribute Chardonnay honours a Canadian cultural figure, in 2018 modernist painter Gordon Applebe Smith. The Old Main chardonnay always strikes a riper, richer note and no change here even in the cooler vintage. The nose billows with ripe peach fruit, peat, spice and vanilla from French oak. It has sense of fullness but the 2018 acidity runs neatly through to the end. Excellent length.

Pair it with any chicken dish, baked, grilled, or fried. It would also pair nicely with seafood.
