Fresh, perfumed, bouncy.
A stunning new addition to our shelves from the Catalunya region of Spain near Barcelona, this Garnacha (partially blended with Carignan), spent 5 months aging in barrel and then almost a decade in bottle.
Perfumed with roses and strawberries, licorice and sarsaparilla with cedar chips atop savoury undertones. Wonderfully fresh for being a decade old, it has some secondary notes with fine spice, bouncy red fruits, cigar box and a tealeaf finish.

Value, plush, supple.
This tasty wine is made by Luis Segundo Correas from 70 year old Cabernet vines grown at 850m above sea level in Mendoza.
It has a decadent nose of red licorice and cassis, candied violets, baking spice and pipe tobacco. The palate is just as alluring and modern; kirsch and cassis, vanilla, Turkish coffee and baking spice flavours lounge on a plush and supple palate. It has lovely acidity to keep it fresh, the finish is smooth and persistent. Truly good value here.

Value, juicy, intense.
Made by Luis Segundo Correas, from Cabernet grown at 850m above sea level, from 70 year-old vines.
This wine offers excellent value and impressive quality, as I've come to expect from this producer.
Expect classic Cabernet aromas: graphite, black currents, savoury spices, tobacco, leather and crushed mint. It is intense and inky in the mouth with appealing juiciness. Cocoa, espresso and spice flavours balance the bright fruit. Good weight and complexity; a solid everyday red.

Approachable, expressive, value.
Made by Luis Segundo Correas, from high-altitude vines this wine offers excellent value and consistently impressive quality.
Black cherry and black raspberry aromas are woven with star anise, cedar dust, dried violets, vanilla and Turkish coffee. It has a supple entry and expressive sweet fruit flavour profile; on the back palate, earthy cedar, tobacco and spice flavours linger. It has balance and structure in an approachable and delicious package.

Rounded, juicy, value.
Made by Luis Segundo Correas, from high-altitude vines this wine offers excellent value and impressive quality, as I've come to expect from this producer.
Ambrosial purple berries, vanilla, licorice tea, violets and mocha aromas flow into a fresh rounded palate with similarly juicy fruit. Savoury undertones of fine spice and cocoa keep it grounded; it is balanced and very approachable.
