Cantine Vitevis Solaris Irvine Bird in Hand Turkey Flat Schwarz Wine Company Medium Wine List

Its bigger than Pinot, and of course has a different flavour profile, but in the UK plenty of punters who drink Pinot are equally enamoured of Bardolino. 'But it is made from the same grapes as Amarone', we hear you say. It is, and Bardolino is only half an hour from that region, but the wines are altogether brighter and far more delicate than you'll find there. This Bardolino sees about 6 months in oak, followed by some time in tank prior to bottling – red fruits and violet form the nose. It is red fruity, pulpy and fleshy and finishes tight and dry, with excellent length, minerality, plenty of acid and fine tannins. Drink it with rich meaty dishes or oily fish. Definitely a food wine and absolutely worth decanting. Learn More

Bright, airy, crunchy and fragrant. A hands-off approach has been taken in the making of this wine, with 80 whole bunch ferment bottled unfined, unfiltered and unashamedly slurpable. There are dark plums, red cherries, raspberry, liquorice, herbs, florals and dried citrus all happening here. Lovely Learn More

Handpicked, 17% whole bunch, unfined, unfiltered, unfettered. Exotic spice and blueberry on the nose; same on the palate, plus earthiness, roasting meats, florals, plums and more. Not the typical mono-dimensional or too-ripe presentation here. This is medium bodied, fragrant, and glorious! Learn More

Quality pinot which is relaxed and ready to drink. Plenty of red fruit fragrance here, plenty of spice, wild mushroom and cured meat on the palate, and a fleshiness which quality Pinot always seems to offer. Learn More

A beautifully soft, savoury and complex red. A medium-bodied palate with red and black fruits. Layers of spice, dark plum and blackberries with plenty of fine tannins and a slightly rustic edge from the very high quality Mataro used here to finish the blend off. A lovely ‘welcome home’ glass which goes very nicely with dinner too. Learn More

What a stunning ‘lighter and brighter’ Shiraz from Turkey Flat. A neat counterpoint to their Estate Shiraz, it packs a powerful punch of fruit yet is lighter on its feet than it’s more expensive counterpart. Some whole bunch is used here and the oak used is all older – both factors in allowing the fruit to really shine. Red and blue fruits, white pepper, bright and crunchy goodness. Delicious Barossa joy in a glass. Learn More
