This skilfully crafted, drink-young charmer was matured in tanks, without oak, “to retain bright fruit”. Deep ruby, with a fresh, fragrant bouquet, it is full-bodied, with ripe plum and spice flavours, gentle tannins, and very good depth. It’s already enjoyable….

Drinking well in its youth, this is a full-bodied, fleshy wine with ripe, peachy, slightly spicy and gingery flavours, fresh and generous, and an off-dry, well-rounded finish. (From Rockburn). $26 (A, UK)

Lovely vibrant aromas of fresh pear and apple. A definite touch of sweetness but very taut acidity keeps the wine in balance. Not overly complex but lots of generous drink-me-now appeal. $26

Very aromatic; blueberry, damson plum and red cherry with a little rose petal. Bright and juicily fruited. Not a great deal of complexity or length but lots of easy drinking charm. $30
