The case consists of one bottle of each wine:
Rocca Delle Macìe Vernaiolo Chianti Classico DOCG 2024, Tuscany, Italy
A youthful and direct Chianti from the historical zone. With a brickish ruby hue, the wine opens to inviting aromas of Amarena cherry and roasted pepper, with the distinctly dusty tannins of Sangiovese offset by a piquant acidity.
Pask Instinct Vine Velvet Pinot Noir 2021, Marlborough, New Zealand
New Zealand Pinot Noir offers a great-value alternative to the perennially expensive red Burgundy, combining the southerly, crystalline fruit with a European sensibility. This example by Pask draws further comparison by maturing in French oak for one year, resulting in a delicate, hedgerow fruit and forest floor expression.
Viña Casablanca Céfiro Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2022/23, Cachapoal, Chile
This Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon offers jewel like fruit with savoury herbaceousness. Blackcurrant pastille flavours combine with bright mint and capsicum in this full-bodied, gourmet wine. There are pine and subtle coffee hints from barrel ageing.
Château Piron La Romaine 2020, Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux, France
A robust, spicy blend of Merlot and Malbec from an often-overlooked Bordeaux subregion on the Right Bank of the Gironde. Deep ruby-purple in hue, it opens with earthy aromas of tilled soil and bramble.
Bodegas Piqueras El Abuelo Tinto 2024, Almansa, Spain
An organic blend of Monastrell and Tempranillo grown at up to 850m altitude in Almansa. Rich, ripe notes of red fruits and blackberry jam with hints of leather and clove. Backed by sweet tannins and a satiny mouthfeel.
Long Beach Shiraz 2024, Robertson, South Africa
This quaffable Shiraz is made by the ever-reliable Robertson Winery from the subregion of the same name in the Breede River Valley, South Africa. With ripe black fruit flavours of mulberry and blackberry alongside subtle savoury hints of black pepper and smoke, this midweight, softly tannic Shiraz offers great versatility.
