Chocolaty, fleshy, plush.
This "devil" is a blast of kirsch, plum jam and chocolate alongside Turkish coffee and licorice. It is very plump and plush with jammy fruits, baking spices, mocha and licorice flavours.
Certainly supple and fleshy with full-on fruit. I suggest pairing it with chili, burgers, pizza and anything with sweet and spicy barbecue sauce.

Generous, plush, juicy.
Plush and sweet aromas of raspberry and blueberry, sarsaparilla and baking spices lead to a generous palate laden with purple fruits and mocha. The tannins are ripe and finely textured, it is juicy and approachable, a big red, but with balance and freshness.

Fresh, lofty, juicy.
The family owned De Bortoli was established in 1928 by Vittorio De Bortoli, four years after he left Treviso, Italy and settled in Griffith, in the center of New South Wales.
This Shiraz comes from Heathcote, and for every 6 bottles sold, De Bortoli plants a tree.
Mulberry, cocoa, bruised cherry, brown spices and leather, coffee, boxwood and cedar aromas lead to a fresh, medium-bodied wine. Lofty red berries, baking spices, vanilla, mocha and finely ground pepper flavours roll across the tongue. Very approachable and quaffable.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper

Convivial, fresh, piquant.
Here's an attractive package filled with just what the label says, a pale and dry rose.
Expect a fresh, straightforward and pleasantly convivial wine with a whisper of colour and aromas of peach stone, cranberries, smoke and dried herbs. It is piquant and has a tart and savoury undertone. Overall, an easy and fresh sipper made mostly of Sangiovese.

NEW, fresh, tangy.
A very well priced and fresh Chardy that offers yellow fruits, honey, toasted spices and wild herb aromas. It's a straightforward everyday white with lively acidity, tangy citrus flavours and a creamy edge.
