Red Wines

Red wine – we like it, you like it. Sometimes it’s really red, sometimes it’s less red. Sometimes it’s Barossa Valley Shiraz, sometimes Coonawarra Cabernet or McLaren Vale Grenache. New world, old world, weird and wonderful, traditional and cutting edge – if it’s red and it passed the Tasting Panel’s approval, it’s here. Which is the least tannic red wine? Tannins come from both grape skins and oak. Pinot Noir is generally fairly low in tannins, as is Gamay, Barbera and Dolcetto. Rosé, given its limited skin contact and typical fermentation in stainless steel, is usually very low in tannin. Red wines that spend no time in oak, or which are matured in older oak tend to have less tannins too. On the flipside Nebbiolo, Caber ...

  1. After Five Wine Co. Single Vineyard Aglianico 2018
    Special Price $28.00 Regular Price $39.00
    Aglianico, perhaps like Nebbiolo is a wine of extremes. The nose, with red fruits and rose petals, is reminiscent of a light, perhaps delicate wine but the palate weight and tannins are at the other end of the scale. There’s rose petals, dark fruits and sage in the mix, liquorice, red fruit and a super long tannin finish. Definitely a food wine. Learn More
  2. After Five Wine Co. Single Vineyard Montepulciano 2019
    Special Price $28.00 Regular Price $39.00
    A wine that is both powerful and crunchy, with spice, black cherries, blanched beans and anise, plenty of acid and a fine tannin finish. In spite of its richness and depth, it also manages zest and liveliness. The tannins are powdery and then waxy. Magical and should satisfy both the hipsters and lumberjacks. Learn More
  3. After Five Wine Co. Single Vineyard Montepulciano 2021
    Special Price $32.00 Regular Price $39.00
    Fragrant and crunchy, with red apples and rhubarb, spice, marzipan, truffles, cherries, cedar and leather. There’s plenty of acid which accentuates the lovely fruits and a fine tannin finish. The best Aussie Monty we’ve tasted thus far and very Italiante! Learn More
  4. Allegiance Wines Single Vineyard McLaren Vale Graciano 2020
    $30.00
    Herbs, blue fruits and spice on the nose. Mulberries, blueberries, spice, dried herbs and black pepper on the palate. This is drink by itself friendly, food friendly and just generally friendly, but in a serious kinda way. Because there’s no mistaking this wine is both classy and very well put together. Learn More
  5. Brickfielder Small Batch Barossa Valley Shiraz 2020
    Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $45.00
    There’s big, and there’s this – a huge Barossa Shiraz loaded with black fruits, vanilla and plenty of cedary oak. The fruits are blues and black and we also found dark chocolate, black pepper, spice and more. This is a helluva mouthful and worth cracking with something red and meaty. Learn More
  6. Brickfielder Small Batch McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
    Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $45.00
    A beautifully sweetly fruited McLaren Vale Shiraz designed for drinking any time over the next decade. We found rich black fruits, liquorice, spice and a little dark chocolate. This is an engaging and relatively easy to drink wine, with a powerful core of fruit, a long finish and fine tannins. Learn More
  7. Brothers at War Peacekeeper Grenache 2022
    Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $38.00
    Sourced from 3 incredible vineyards, one of which is 150 years of age, this exceptional Grenache is then fermented in a mix of ceramic eggs and large format French oak foudres. Lifted red fruit and florals pass the baton to a palate offering raspberries, cranberries and pomegranate. The fruit intensity is excellent and well matched by firm acidity. The finish comes slowly, traversing as it does a lengthy pathway of fine tannins. Learn More
  8. Ca'Botta Rubicondo 2019
    $55.00
    Black, rich, concentrated and savoury, this wine is made from 14-day air dried, traditional regional grapes Corvina and Rondinella softened by Merlot. It offers black fruits, spice and cedar. The fruit sweetness is excellent and well balanced by savory touches. An absolute bargain. Learn More
  9. Ca’Botta Cajo Amarone DOCG 2016
    $180.00
    Ca’ Botta’s highest quality fruit is air dried for 100 days prior to fermentation meaning that 2.2 kgs of fruit are required to make each bottle! This is incredibly, long, concentrated and complex… savour this over a few hours and you may well see black tea, spices, blackberries, cherries, rosemary, dark chocolate, prunes, green peppercorns, and coffee. Stunning. Learn More
  10. Ca’Botta Cerviero Rosso Veneto 2016
    Special Price $79.00 Regular Price $89.00
    In theory this is an entry level wine for Ca’ Botta, carrying the IGT designation rather than the more favoured DOC or DOCG status. Why? Because this is a wine made using Amarone methods using primarily Amarone varieties with the inclusion of Cabernet which is not allowed in Amarone production… They add Cabernet to build freshness and change the tannin profile … to make something as good but a little different to a traditional Amarone. 2.2 kilos of fruit are needed to make just one bottle. We found herbs, black fruits, cherries, spice and pepper here on a pallet which is both concentrated and ethereal. A cracking wine and an absolute bargain. Learn More
  11. Ca’Botta Pian Di Mezzo Amarone Riserva DOCG 2013
    $300.00
    Ca’ Botta’s highest quality fruit is air dried for 110 days prior to fermentation… in the process the fruit loses 60% of its original weight meaning that 3 kgs of fruit are required to make each bottle! This is an incredibly deep, concentrated and complex wine… savour this over a few hours and you may well see black and blueberries, almonds, leather, green pepper, cherries, dark chocolate and coffee. Stunning. Only 12 bottles available. Learn More
  12. Celebration Selection Yarra Valley Shiraz 2019
    Special Price $18.00 Regular Price $25.00
    A lovely, medium bodied, blue fruited and peppery Shiraz from the Yarra Valley. There are red fruits here too, specifically cranberry. The wine is soft and bright with good length. Great with charcuterie or perhaps a prosciutto pizza. Learn More
