Roccolo Grassi’s Amarone della Valpolicella is produced from a four-hectare, southeast facing vineyard in the heart of the DOCG, from vines with an average age of 40 years. The vines are grown at 200 to 250 metres above sea level in volcanic-basaltic soils. The vines are trained on a pergola system, at a density of 3,000 vines per hectare and yield 1.5 to 2.0 kilograms per vine. The grapes are manually harvested at the end of September into trays to preserve the quality of the fruit.
Crafted in the historic heart of Tuscany, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino from Sesti is a powerful yet refined expression of place, tradition, and visionary winemaking. The Sesti estate lies within the ancient walls of Castello di Argiano, a 13th-century fortress perched above the Orcia River, once part of a strategic chain of sight-and-defense castles. This remarkable setting mirrors the timeless character of the wines it produces.
Founded by Giugi Sesti, a Venetian-born astronomer and opera impresario, the estate has long embraced a philosophy rooted in natural rhythm and artistic expression. Today, under the expert guidance of his daughter Elisa Sesti, the winery continues to produce wines of exceptional purity and poise, firmly placing Sesti among the most respected names in Montalcino.
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is captivating from the first pour – rich, full-bodied, and exquisitely balanced. The nose reveals layers of blackberry, wild herbs, and spice, wrapped in a savoury, earthy complexity that speaks of its noble terroir. On the palate, it is structured and powerful, yet retains an elegant flow, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity driving a long, resonant finish.
A Brunello of remarkable depth and beauty, this vintage is already jaw-droppingly delicious, but promises even greater rewards with time.
The 2015 Finca Martelo Reserva is a juicy wine, thrilling the mouth with plentiful red and black fruit. A wise and careful ageing process in wood is appreciated in its seductive and well-balanced character and fresh sensations. It makes no attempt to hide the power of its modern profile but the character of a traditional wine and other more evolved touches are never far away. A top-quality Reserva wine produced by a winery steeped in expertise creating classic Rioja wines.
Head winemaker Julio Saenz refers to it as “our little Burgundy” because of how closely it represents this unique location. In fact, the wine itself is a field blend, 95% Tempranillo with 5% other varieties including Mazuelo, Garnacha, and even Viura. The chalk soils and 80-year-old vines at Torre de Oña produce a fuller, riper style of Rioja, while the high altitude and Atlantic influence in Rioja Alavesa keeps the wine fresh and elegant. This style is complemented by the use of 20% French oak and shorter maturation, alongside La Rioja Alta’s ultra-traditional methods such as racking by hand.
Founded in 1879, Inglenook is one of Napa Valley’s most historic and revered estates. Under the visionary stewardship of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975, the estate has been meticulously restored to its former glory, with a focus on producing world-class, organically farmed wines from its Rutherford vineyards.
The 2016 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in balance and varietal purity. Aromatically precise, it opens with vibrant notes of ripe black cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle hints of garrigue, lavender, thyme, and bay leaf that add depth and intrigue. The palate is finely tuned and seamless, with polished tannins and a supple texture that carries layers of dark fruit, cassis bud, and a whisper of savoury herbs. Oak is impeccably integrated, supporting the wine’s structure without overwhelming its elegance. The finish is long, fragrant, and composed, a hallmark of both the vintage and the estate’s restrained, classical approach. This is a Cabernet of remarkable finesse and ageing potential, offering a refined expression of Inglenook’s historic vineyards.
The Vigna Marrucheto single vineyard is viewed as ‘Grand Cru’ in Brunello and is the jewel in the Banfi crown.
Intense ruby red in colour, the nose is powerful and rich, showing great freshness and vitality. Sensory complexity is evident in the rich, fruity profile of red fruit notes such a blackberry and ripe cherry that combine with Mediterranean hints of carob and figs. Spicy notes of counter pepper and bay leaves emerge on the finish. The body is full, the tannins silky and well integrated. The harmonious and balanced finish makes the wine unique and with great personality
Paringa’s and arguably Australias top Pinot Noir – made from barrels which were selected as clearly superior at the time of blending and bottling. The wine has rich powerful aromas of spice and dark cherry, combined with charry oak, secondary barrel-ferment mocha/coffee characters that will integrate further to become more Burgundian like with bottle age. On the palate the wine has rich ripe fruit, firm fine-grained tannins helping provide excellent texture and length.

Key facts
This outstanding aged Shiraz from Hobbs is made using the Appassimento style and matured for approximately 24 months in French oak.
Appassimento wines are produced through a process of partially rack-drying grapes to increase concentration of both natural grape flavours and sugars. The result is a wine of atypical power, concentration and alcohol content with an ability to benefit from long periods of maturation.
Named in honour of a very fond memory from early in Greg and Allison’s relationship – a skiing instructor who had a hard time pronouncing ‘Gregory’.
Red WineThe Seghesio family-owned winery started in the year 1895 when Edoardo Seghesio, an Italian immigrant and winemaker, planted the first Zinfandel vineyard in the Alexander Valley located in Sonoma County.
In the glass this 21 year old Zinfandel has lost none of its sleek smoothness, bursting with black cherry and raspberry aromas with a core of flavours that includes black cherry, cassis, cocoa, coffee, blackberry, spice and anise. Lush, harmonious, and penetrating.

Although Domaine Georges Vernay has built its reputation around its excellent Condrieu white wines, its reds should not be neglected, especially ones from the Côte-Rôtie. From a 5 ha plot of vines, Vernay’s Côte-Rôtie is amongst the most exceptional wines from the same appellation. Thanks to a perfectly mastered elegant wine style, Christine Vernay successfully expresses the elegance and depth of syrah; never over maturing or over ageing.
The name of the wine refers to a small red house situated at the foot of this impressively steep “lieu dit” or registered plot of ‘Maison Rouge’. The vineyards are made up of two hectares of sandy, granite terraces located in the southern part of the appellation. Trained according to the Guyot simple method, the vines have an average age of 50 years and they have been planted to a density of 10,000 vines per hectare.
A rich, structured Pinot Noir with complex aromas of smoky red and black fruits, roasted herbs, conifer forest and exotic spice through to a palate of impeccable balance.
2019 stands out as one of the more exceptional vintages in recent memory. Cooler temperatures and stable weather throughout the growing season allowed for slow maturation of flavours without any heat events spiking sugar accumulation in the berries. Although 2019 also saw the devastating Kincade fire in Sonoma County, the fruit was harvested by then, so the smoke did not affect the grapes.
The grapes come from Charles and Diana Karren’s vineyard, a couple who are incredibly passionate about growing grapes. The single vineyard ‘Terra de Promissio’ translates as ‘the Land of Promise’ and it has an ideal terroir for growing Pinot Noir. Located in the Petaluma Gap subregion, the combination of the sandy loam and Adobe clay soils, the south-westerly sun exposure, hill elevation, vine density of 5×7’ spacing and the wind and fog of the Petaluma Gap, allows the grapes to have an extended hang time.
