- Carmenère Cabernet Syrah (Maipo, Chile) December 2024 – The Carmenère Cabernet blend, a Chilean specialty, shines with the added depth of Syrah. Savour the plum and dark berry aromas. Concentrated plum flavours are woven with cherry, subtle baking spice, and soft tannins, culminating in a chocolaty finish accented by lingering plum and toasty notes. This is the “steak to pizza wine” because it goes with everything, is drinkable right away, and also enjoyable on its own. I have already reserved my kit!
- Double Blanc (Riverland, Australia) January 2025 – A fresh, fruit-driven blend of Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. Soft citrus aromas with subtle green notes. Fresh citrus and pear flavours are forefront with notes of gooseberry, tropical fruit, and hints of lemon peel. Serve lightly chilled to emphasize the zesty acidity and crisp finish. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc – varietals we don’t often see together – makes this a refreshing choice.
- Petit Verdot Petit Sirah (Lodi, California) February 2025 – Petit in name but big in flavour. Aromas of heady plum and soft vanilla set the tone. Black cherry and blackberry flavours lead the way, while undertones of warm blueberry and plum build with each sip. Lush and velvety with a long finish of dark fruit and spice. Petit Verdot never disappoints, and the addition of Petit Sirah (deep colour and full-bodied flavours) should add some good tannin and structure to this wine.
- Besito (Manchuela, Spain) March 2025 – Besito, Spanish for “little kiss”, is a vibrant blend of Macabeo and Moscatel (Muscat) with a little kiss of sweetness. Enticing citrus and white blossom aromas introduce a peachy palate woven with tropical fruit and citrus flavours. Subtle notes of honeysuckle and lemon zest round out this smooth and succulent wine. This should be slightly off-dry and refreshing. This is an interesting wine – a white blend of Moscato and Macabeo (a versatile Spanish grape) that doesn’t come around that often, so reserve a kit while it’s available – this blend will work and will be drinking beautifully next summer!
- Fourtitude (Riverland, Australia) April 2025– An assertive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Mataro, and Merlot – hence the name – that embodies Australia’s renowned bold and fruit-forward style. It opens with rich aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and spice, while intense flavours of blackcurrant, plum, dark cherry, and spice unfold with hints of vanilla. Smooth tannins carry into a lingering finish. This was available in 2016 and is back by popular demand. This is going to be a big, bold fella!
