Domaine André Aubert, has been formed over decades and generations by one very passionate wine family and today comprises of more than 280 hectares spread from north to south of the prestigious Southern Rhone Valley on the appellations Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône villages, Visan, and Grignan-les-Adhémar. The Château Le Grand Retour property was purchased in 1999.

Château le Grand Retour is situated in the Plan de Dieu AOC. This geographical area is overflowing with very important pebbles left behind by the Rhône River from millennia ago. As the Aubert family says, this vineyard allows the vines to 'drink the sun and live on stones.'

A sumptuous blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre with rich fruit aromas of black cherry and raspberry. Notes of licorice and spice dominate the full-bodied palate and lead to a well-balanced and complex finish. This wine punches above it's weight in every class!

A great pairing with grilled lamb, stuffed eggplant, kebabs or köfte.

Christine Aubert, alongside her son Aurélien, has owned Domaine Autrand in the charming village of Vinsobres, Drôme Provençale, since 2002. As the third generation to manage the family business, Christine took over the property and was joined by her eldest son in 2008. The majority of the vineyard was planted after the olive tree frost of 1956, when the Autrand family decided to restructure their farm. Today, the vineyard has an average age of around 45 years, reflecting the long history and dedication of the Aubert family.

A vibrant red from the Rhône Valley, bursting with aromas of candied cherry, blackcurrant, and a touch of black pepper. The palate is generous yet balanced, with ripe fruit depth, harmonious tannins, and a long, aromatic finish that lingers beautifully.

A natural match with grilled burgers, or pork ribs covered in sticky barbecue sauce.

The Winery of Good Hope is more than just a winery - it's an approach. Along with making lively and approachable wines, this is a project that's fully accredited for environmental, ethical, and social upliftment practices. Wines are made in the prestigious wine-making region of Stellenbosch, in South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. 

Sourced from two mature Syrah vineyards, rooted in the decomposed granite soils of the Helderberg mountainside overlooking False Bay. These vineyards thrive in the cooling breezes of the famed Cape Doctor - the south-easterly wind that sweeps in from the nearby ocean. The rocky, gravelly terrain fosters balance and fine texture in the wines, which display restrained fruit, delicate spice, and subtle fynbos nuances.

This refreshing Cape Syrah opens with fragrant notes of rosemary and lavender layered over crushed black pepper and vibrant plum fruit. Elegant and softly textured yet carrying impressive intensity, it's medium-bodied with a lingering, tapering finish.

Blank Canvas is the personal wine range of husband and wife team, Matt Thomson and Sophie Parker-Thomson, MW. With a focus on Marlborough, Syrah from Hawkes Bay and Pinot Noir from Central Otago, the Blank Canvas wines are exciting, small-batch and increasingly recognized as the avant-garde of New Zealand wine. Every effort is put into making wines that are distinctive and cerebral, unencumbered by a regime or badge and are not beholden to tradition. Every vineyard, variety and vintage is approached as if it is a blank canvas.

In the true expression of cool-climate Syrah, this wine exudes freshly cracked black pepper, crushed violets, red and black forest fruits and savoury smoky nuances. It has crunchy lifted acidity which carries the defined, fine-grain tannins and background of spicy, savoury oak.
