From the Grand Marnier vineyard holdings in Chile. Clean pale salmon colour. Fruity and floral notes such as apricot, grapefruit and red rosebuds. Lively acidity, fresh and juicy mouthfeel, and altogether very Provencal in all but price. One of our favourites.

Deeply coloured yet delicate & fruity on the palate with red berries, cherry & violet notes. A velvety mouthfeel, with rich tannins and a plump finish. Hailing from Piedmont, this Dolcetto makes use of the best grapes from the famous towns of Alba and Asti to create a wonderfully constructed wine that is full of charm.

Chenin is South Arica's signature white grape. Hugely versatile, it is able of making wines across the spectrum of very sweet all the way to dry. This fantastic example from Ernst & Gouws is fully dry, crisp and refreshing; a wonderful example of the huge improvement in the quality of wines from this country. Fresh pear and waxy, honeyed tones, green apple and apricot; succulent and clean and leaves the palate refreshed and ready for another sip!

A classic Rueda blend of Verdejo and Viura. Straw coloured with hues of yellow, the nose is clean with good intensity and hints of apples and white fruit. The palate is rich, fresh and soft with good acidity and structure. If you enjoy Sauvignon blanc style wines, but are looking for a refreshing change, this wine is for you! Serve with fish and seafood, barbequed chicken and salads.

One of the original founding wineries of DO Rueda, the second generation of the family, Angela and Eduardo, now head up the winemaking and administration of this medium sized operation. Their vineyards are amongst the oldest and highest in Rueda.

Gaznata is an old winery in the desolate beauty of the Sierra de Gredos mountains, west of Madrid. Thanks to Daniel Ramos, a young winemaker with an Australian accent but local roots, it is now producing a limited selection of the oldest vineyards in a range of wines that are startling good value. This cuvee is a straightforward yet delicious young Garnacha, made for easy drinking. Wild strawberry, white pepper, and mountain herb notes sit on a smooth and supple palate. Great to have this wine back on the shelves.

Another great value red from Portugal, with a real backbone of firm structure that would be delicious paired with a hearty, meaty feast. Tightly knit and focused, allowing for ageing where desired, and careful oak use brings hints of toast and spice. Benefits from decanting, whereupon the palate and flavours round out, unfurling its full complement of fragrance and wild berry tang. Exceptional value.

International Wine Challenge 2015 Best Value Red.

A rich and waxy Vermentino from the Marema region of Tuscany. Deep, ripe citrus, guava, kiwi and subtle notes of mustard spice make for a tasty and complex wine. Blended with a little Sauvignon blanc for added complexity and lift. Great concentration of flavours and a long finish. A perfect partner to vegetarian cuisine; try with goats cheese and asparagus salad or griddled vegetables and halloumi.
