Description
The Yarra Yering Dry Red No.1 is an Aussie classic and comes from a winery that is regarded as one of the country’s finest. The Dry Red No.1 is a Bordeaux style blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot, all of which are hand harvested, and hand sorted to ensure only the finest berries make the final blend. The Cabernet is crushed prior to fermentation whilst the other varieties are fermented whole and all are vinified seperately. The wines are then matured seperately in French Oak (40-50% new), and blended prior to bottling.
Medium-bodied, complex and yet approachable with lovely freshenss. Dark fruits, baking spice and herbal notes on the nose lead to a beautifully balanced palate that shows more of the same alongside fleshy, fresh acidity. Genuinely joyful to drink now, this fabulous red will continue to evolve for 20+ years from vintage.

2020 ‘O Font’ Les Deux Cols, Vin de France
Grenache Blend
Les Deux Cols is a joint venture between Ireland's leading Rhone importer, Simon Tyrell and Charles Derain, one time Sommelier to Alain Ducasse at Le Louis XV in Paris. This Grenache Noir dominated blend is whole bunch and foot trodden, natural yeast fermented in concrete tanks and then matured in a mixture of old barriques and larger demi-muid barrels. Pale in the glass, this is fresh and easy with red fruits and a hint of spice. Hand harvesting takes place at least a week earlier than the neighbouring properties allowing for a fresher style, and all vineyards are either organic or in conversion with some biodynamic practices in use.

2020 Cabernet Franc Seleccion, Bodegas Rio Del Elorza, Mendoza
Cabernet Franc
The Verum Cabernet Franc Seleccion, Bodegas Rio Del Elorza has classic elements on the nose including wild strawberry, blackberry, pencil shavings and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. Lovely ripe fruits with a hint of stalky/vegetal character but not too much greenness, instead offering more body and depth of fruit and a slight touch of herbal mint. The full-bodied palate is elegant with firm tannins but a vital balancing acidity. Cedar notes show from the use of French oak and the finish is dominated by bright red fruit and mocha spice.
