Stéphane Aviron can be considered a pioneer is his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he’s simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines. Sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques.

Situated in the north of the Beaujolais region, Moulin-à-Vent is one of the most famous crus and named after the local windmill – the literal translation of the name. This wine has expressive black cherry aromas and firm structure in the mouth. Its mineral underpinning and firm but ripe tannins help it age perhaps longer than any of the Beaujolais crus.

Expressive black & blue fruit and pretty florality on the nose, along with hints of savoury dried herbs and graphite. The palate is juicy and elegantly concentrated, suggesting notes of black raspberry and cherry flavours with spices that unfold with each sip. Violet petals linger into the finish, which shows a lightly dusty, tannic structure. A very pretty wine. 

 Try alongside dishes like osso buco or tournedos rossini.

Heirloom Vineyards was conceived in vintage 2000, when a young winemaking student caught the eye of a silly old wine judge. A love story ensued inspired by two vows: To preserve the best of tradition, the old world of wine and our unique old vineyards and to champion the best clones of each variety planted in the most appropriate sites embracing the principals of organic and biodynamic farming. 

This Heirloom Vineyards Shiraz was produced from the best Barossa Shiraz Vineyard whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting edge as well as old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, sorted bunch-by-bunch, naturally open fermented, basket pressed and stored in French oak barriques from bespoke coopers.

Expect notes of black plums, spices of nutmeg, mace and bay leaf, alongside savoury soy, olives and hints of rose petals. Spicy and textural on the palate with hidden depths of concentrated blackberry and reduced plum with a sliver of dark chocolate. The rich fruit is checked by the bright acidity and alcohol, with supple tannins unfolding with each sip. 

This is a big game wine -think venison! Or try with sausage and horseradish, or anything with plenty of pepper, or a hint of chill.

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.
