South Africa`s very own grape pinotage takes the lead in this fresh, fruity Cape Blend of young Stellenbosch syrah with older bush-vine pinotage from Swartland. The grapes were whole-berry fermented and the syrah grapes were lightly crushed and gently handled in the cellar to produce a fruit-driven red with soft tannins. The blend is 66% pinotage, 34% syrah.

A juicy, fruit-driven gamay from the south of France, with all the exuberance of youth. Best drunk lightly chilled.

From a member-favourite estate from the perfumed 2021 vintage this has a fragrant bouquet of plums, tar and vanilla, with a layered, juicy texture on the palate, concentrated and well balanced with grainy, ripe tannins on the finish. Remarkable value. We are excited to say that the Bassereaus are one of our Wine Society Pioneers for their focus on sustainable methods in wine production. They manage water use carefully, treating waste water and discharging it back, all winery waste is composted, dry hedges are built. As winners of our 2024 Climate & Nature fund, de la Grave will use our funds to help diversify and move away from a monoculture. One project involves planting fruit, olive and truffle trees, establishing pre-orchards which will combine fruiting trees with meadows for grazing and breeding their sheep and horses. They are supported by the local biodynamic organisation and share their knowledge with other producers, and their area was chosen for ‘blue corridors’ thanks to ponds and waterways being reopened for animals who need that environment to thrive and migrate. this makes a wonderful partner for roasted spring lamb shoulder or leg with all the trimmings, and is superb with a thick-cut, well-seared but still rosy rib-eye steak.

Rocco Pasetti makes the most attractive example we know of this Italian classic. Juicy and bright and bursting with ripe cherry and red plum fruit, with a graphite edge on the finish. A deliciously fulfilling example of this great grape. It's absolutely perfect for enjoying with pizza or pasta dishes of all kinds.

The Bascou family are farmers who grow grapes and olives in the Languedoc. Several grape varieties are grown, including picpoul as well as reds. Here syrah is blended with a little mourvèdre to create a succulent, soft and fruity red for drinking with or without food.

A delicious, full bodied and classically styled Australian blend of shiraz and cabernet sauvignon from Tahbilk. This has robust notes of damsons, blackcurrant, blueberry, cracked black pepper and a hint of eucalyptus on the nose; surprisingly and reassuringly complex at the price point! The palate has plenty of tannin and generosity, with a good lift and freshness keeping things under control. There's a real blend of juicy fruit with savoury notes here, combining plum and cassis with attractive earthiness, a leathery note and sweet spices. This is a generous, plush and classic Aussie wine, which is perfect for anyone looking for fruit-forward, silky and classically styled red.
