Trapiche 2010 Terroir Series Finca Ambrosia Single Vineyard Malbec 750 mL
$94.99Violet-scented fruit and sweet red plum open the documented profile, followed by roasted notes, black pepper and crushed dark berries. The palate is rich and ample, with supple texture, rounded tannins and fresh dark fruit. Wood smoke, lemon peel, blackberry, tar, dark spice, coffee and mocha add further depth before a long, powerful finish marked by chocolate and nutmeg.
Manos Negras 2009 Pinot Noir 750 mL
$31.99Rose petal, bright cherry and raspberry give an aromatic opening, with cranberry bringing a tart, lively edge. The palate is supple and balanced, framed by gentle earth, mineral detail and fine spice. Toasted oak sits quietly behind the fruit, adding a savoury layer without dominating. Smooth through the centre and poised on the finish, it leaves red berries, dried flowers and a light touch of cinnamon.
Bodegas Escorihuela Gascón 2022 Circus Organic Malbec 750 mL
$22.99Ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry give an immediate, fruit-forward opening. The palate follows with smooth layers of black fruit, supported by gentle spice and a softly rounded texture. Freshness keeps the ripe profile lively through the centre, while the darker fruit gains quiet depth toward the finish. Balanced and approachable, it closes on blackberry, plum and a measured savoury spice note.
Mendel Semillon 750 mL
$49.99White flowers and honey lead, joined by herbaceous detail and a measured note of tropical fruit. The palate is smooth and generous without losing its freshness, with coconut and soft smoke adding depth from its time in wood. A rounded texture carries the fruit through the centre, while the finish remains composed and elegant, lingering on honey, herbs and gentle oak.
Catena Zapata 2017 Adrianna Vineyard River Stones Malbec 750 mL
$299.99Blackberry, cassis, violet and crushed stone lead a dark, highly aromatic profile, with wet earth and subtle spice adding depth. The palate is full and mouthfilling but remains fresh, its concentrated fruit shaped by integrated acidity and ultra-fine tannins. A stony, mineral texture gives the wine precision through a long finish, where black fruit, flowers and a savoury granitic note gradually return.
Achaval Ferrer 2015 Finca Altamira Malbec 750 mL
$199.99Blood orange and bittersweet cherry open with ripe strawberry, red berries and a faint thread of star anise. The palate is powerful yet fresh, carrying concentrated fruit through balanced acidity and a clear mineral undertone. Fine, powdery tannins give the wine shape without heaviness, while a savoury edge keeps the finish composed and persistent. Decant before serving with grilled beef, lamb or mushrooms.
