  1. Cantarranas Verdejo 2021
    Cantarranas Verdejo 2021

    The Agrícola Castellana Cooperative, situated in the heart of the Rueda D.O., was set up in La Seca (Valladolid) by small number of dedicated vine growers wishing to add value to their products.

    Today, it consists of some 400 members who cultivate 2000 hectares of vineyards with modern equipment for the production of 7 millions of litres of wine per harvest and facilities for manufacturing one million of these in oak.

    The Bodega has up to date machinery for the reception of the grapes, pneumatic presses and temperature controlled, stainless steel vessels for fermentation, all of wich have contributed enormously to improve the quality of the wines.

    Another spot on release brimming with summer fruit salad, peach pulp and a delicate floral lift. It's juicy and fleshy with just a little snap on the palate to keep it fresh. Drink don't think!

    Paisley Wines Turntable GSM 2021
    A purple-hued blend of grenache, shiraz and mataro that's super perfumed and packed with ripe plum, blueberry and cranberry fruit notes. Hints of jasmine and frangipani along with abundant spice, licorice, gingerbread, mocha, panforte and earth. Gentle, billowy tannins and bright acidity guide the plush, spicy blue and dark fruits to a medium-length finish. Vegan friendly. DAVE BROOKES, Halliday Wine Companion

  3. Fournier Freres Cidre Artisanal de Normandie Brut 750ml
    Fournier Freres Cidre Artisanal de Normandie Brut 750ml

    STAGE 4 - HILLY - DUNKERQUE > CALAIS 171.5 KM

    Silver medalist in 2009 and Gold Medal in 2010 and 2011 - Agricole de Paris competition.

    A blend of 100% Normandy cider apples, selected for their delicate flavours combining freshness and thirst-quenching, associated with slow fermentation. This is farm-to-table stuff here as the Fournier crew source apples only from their own oarchards.

    That earthy, Normandy cider nose with with wild foresty notes and a melange of red and green apple. A mellow, persistent bead in a round and mouthfilling style. Crunchy and crisp and on the drier side of cider. A bit of a chalky hit and little bit of grip but certainly on the easy and generous side of things. Serve chilled but not too cold to get the most out of it.

  4. P & A Vin de France Grenache Syrah 2021
    P & A Vin de France Grenache Syrah 2021
    The P & A wines are from our friend and Burgundy madman Nicolas Potel. These are the wines that epitomise the term vin-de-soif. These are absolutely gluggable, definitely chillable and straight-up delicious fair from the southern reached of France where Nicolas, via is network of winemaking legends sources fruit from top growers.

    This little beauty is crafted by Potel's partner in crime Stephane Aviron who brings his consdiderable talents to the table. there is an elegance and purity to the wine with underlying terroir drive that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who tried Nicola or Stephane's wines.

    Wafts of raspberries, black plums and sweet spices lure you in. The core is a vibrant and buoyant mass of black and red berries, wrapped in an elegant framework. Subtle notes of rosemary come from a thoughtful use of whole bunch. This overdelivers hands down on its humble price point, no need to second guess here. GABRIELLE POY

  5. Kris Wines Pinot Grigio 2022
    Kris Wines Pinot Grigio 2022
    Kris is from the Delle Venezie, the historical term for the three regions of the Veneto, encompassing Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Veneto. Always on point the 2022 looks to be the best we have seen and that should prbobably come as no surprise given the team that craft it are from famed estate Franz Haas.

    White peach and crunchy apple and pear to the fore with a gently spiced, quartz/mineral nose. The palate is clean as a whistle with a core of sweet white fruits cut with bright, zippy acidity. At the same time the palate is generous with a lovely textural element that gives it nice weight and punch while always remaining bright and fresh. Another fantastic effort!

  6. Paisley Wines Boombox Shiraz 2021
    Paisley Wines Boombox Shiraz 2021

    If you’re old enough, you’d remember making mix tapes to give to friends or slip into the cassette player in your car, or whatever. My tape of choice, if I was feeling flush was a TDK SA-X (chrome), or even an MA-X (metal setting), and if poor, maybe a TDK AD or a lowly D.  All very nice. But thank heavens for Spotify.

    A big juicy dark hit of flavour here, along with raspberry juice, mint, a bit of earthy coal-like stuff, some chewy chalk-like grip, and a warm and generous finish of good length. Doesn’t seem to have much oak influence, just a riot of bouncy earthy Barossa fruit. Good fun. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

  8. Felicette Grenache Blanc 2021
    Felicette Grenache Blanc 2021

    The Félicette wines originate from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the south of France, along its southern-most coastline of the Mediterranean. Coming from vineyards between Narbonne and Béziers, the grapes are de-stemmed, undergo cold maceration and gentle ferments. The Félicette Blanc is mostly Grenache Blanc, with a little Viogner.

    Yum! Such and intriguing and inviting nose. A little fresh mint, sliced pear and a hint of apricot are all wrapped in a zest and punchy nose. This is pure and plush, no oak used to trick it up relying on grenache blanc slippery textural elements to carry the long palate. A little more apple and tree fruits smashed together with some apricot and peach for good measure. It's a little spicy, it's a little fruity and it has a ton energy and vibrancy to boot. Not exactly heavy but definitely not light either. A great winter white.

  9. The Pawn El Desperado Pinot Noir 2023
    The Pawn El Desperado Pinot Noir 2023
    The Pawn had its beginning in 2002 out of necessity when vignerons and winemakers Tom Keelan and his wife Rebecca Willson had a small parcel of fruit deemed 'not good enough' by a particular nameless, soulless wine monolith. They had now become mere Pawns in the global wine game, doomed to be played and moved around, and ultimately sacrificed. So the 2 rolled up their sleeves and decided to show the corporate colossals what can be made from the right varieties grown in the right location.

    A blend of several clones, I have taken to a bit of winemaking in the vineyard with all clones being harvested together and then fermented. Aromas of cherry cola, rose petals and spice erupt from the glass. On the palate, the wine reveals a berry fruit explosion of black cherry and cranberry, with touches of balsamic and earth tones. A real pure-fruited expression that zips along the palate spraying sweet, juicy fruit in its wake. So, this isn't going to chase your life but its bloody delicious!

    Baron Jacques Cremant de Bourgogne Brut NV
    STAGE 7 - INDIVIDUAL TIME-TRIAL - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES > GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN 25.3 KM

    This sparkling Burgundy (not to be confused with the old term for Aussie sparkling red) is made entirely from Chardonnay and, honestly, it's a mystery as to how something this good comes at this price. The wine is produced by an estate which is over 100 years old, from premium vineyards and spent 9 months in bottle developing a gentle complexity before release. Light, crisp and fun, it's a fizz which won't break the bank and seriously over delivers.

    OK so its not the usual Champs-Élysées finish and this stage isn't even the finish line but we have to have a sparkling at some point. This is cracking stuff, unbelievable good value for the money, lovely fruit but crunchy and dry. Perfect to wet the whistle after a quick sprint.

    Travers Bordeaux Blanc 2022

    STAGE 12  FLAT - AURILLAC > VILLENEUVE-SUR-LOT 203.6 KM

    It's flat again in Stage 12 but its a long one. After 203 k's we don't think a red is going to cut it so we picked up this little beauty to put in the pack. Absolutely classic stuff here with plenty of fruit and flesh but a real pep in its step. We have a feeling this one will be making its way into the store by the case-full cos its got everything you want without being too serious.

    70/15/15 blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle – Bordeaux’s three white grapes. Its floral citrus blossom, green melon, honeysuckle and tropical fruit aromas are followed up by herbal, grassy characters that add a touch of complexity.

  12. Delas Cote du Rhone Ventoux 2021
    Delas Cote du Rhone Ventoux 2021
    Delas Freres is a winery of tradition and renewal. Founded 160 years ago in the heart of the northern Côtes du Rhône, Delas wines are crafted by a panel of experts headed by winemaker Jacques Grange. Together, the team makes wines that have been heralded for their intensity of flavour and excellent value. Delas maintains a philosophy of preserving the authentic characteristics of each appellation through separate vinification of the fruit from each vineyard.

    The Ventoux form Delas is always in a slightly lighter fresher style. We feel like it often gets over looked but from year to year it offers up the same quality and drinking pleasure of Delas' other rhone bottlings. Here, a little more red cherry and currant fruit is to the fore with white & black pepper sprinkling that slowly fades giving way to more heady luxe spice in the glass. It tips past the mid-point into slightly more fuller then in some years but is plenty vibrant and fresh. Fine tannins support the supple and open fruits. Another winner!

  13. Rocky Gully Riesling 2024
    Rocky Gully Riesling 2024

    Always such a reliable, great-value Riesling from the Smith Cullam family of Frankland Estate, one of Australia's undisputed champions of this variety.

    Fresh, pure and with generous Riesling flavour, it never fails to hit the spot. It shows abundant blossom and stone fruit, citrus and melon on the nose. Bath salt, talc and delicate spice undertones. A nicely weighted wine with a generosity of flavour and white stone fruit. Delicate and precise on the palate with generosity of fruit, persistent length of flavour and soft texture.

  14. Alto Alto Rosso 2022
    Alto Alto Rosso 2022
    Mostly Sangiovese with 21% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot.

    Medium-bodied, pomegranate-themed juice but with depth and a vermouth tang, bitter herbs and some nice supple softness to it all, black cherry and bitter almond with a black olive twist. Chalky texture. Goodie. KASIA SOBIESIAK, The Wine Front

    This release of Alto! Alto!! is right in the zone of where we want it to be. Fruit, deliciousness, and aromatic intrigue balanced by structure and unravelling layers of savoury complexity. Also made by one of our great fiends and somm about town Liam O'Brien. Thanks for this delicious drop Liam!
     
    Bright purple/ruby. Medium weight, juicy, smashable palate, just the right amount of sour cherry and fine tannins. Sangiovese leads the way with red cherries and terracotta dust; Cab Sauv follows with blackcurrant, blackberry and a hint of cedar; Merlot fills out the finish with persistent fruit and an attractive tea leaf character.
  15. Domaine de Chatillon Jacquere 2020
    Domaine de Chatillon Jacquere 2020
    We were a bit chuffed to get this wine when trying it recently particularly given that you don't see a lot of jacquere wines out of Savoie at the price. The chateau is based in the Chatillon castle, a Roman watch tower built 70AD to signal the regiments along the Rhone River. It's pretty striking stuff in the hills there and the high-altitude vineyards lend a lovely racy edge to the wines.

    Light bodied and crisp with a clean, steely minerality and light floral blossom accents on top of waxy citrus and green apple fruit. On the palate it races through cutting with mandarin and lemon peel apple/pear flavours and plenty of energetic acidity that drives a clean, mineral finish spiked with qartz and white pepper. Great stuff!

  16. Yering Lane Pinot Noir 2023
    Yering Lane Pinot Noir 2023

    Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley in the sub region of Gruyere, Martingale is a first-generation family run vineyard. Focusing predominantly on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah from their 40-acre property of which 20 acres is under vine.

    This new entry level Pinot is about as good as you'll see coming out of the Valley for this price. Generous and packed with varietal flavour, it has a great mouthfeel and bursts with juicy cherry, red plum and subtle spice. PWS

  17. In Praise of Shadows Sakura Rose 2024
    In Praise of Shadows Sakura Rose 2024

    67 % Grenache / 33% Sangiovese

    Sakura translates to Cherry Blossom, and this is a deliciously light to medium bodied style. Sangiovese offers some herbal and spicy notes through the lifted watermelon and strawberry palate. There is a flinty edge and perhaps pithiness akin to biting a ripe red delicious apple. Cool acidity balances nicely with the layers and texture from partial seasoned oak fermentation.

  18. Bleasdale The Wise One Tawny 750ml
    Bleasdale The Wise One Tawny 750ml
    Fruitcake aromas with attractive nutty complexity; a soft touch of rancio and rather laid-back acidity makes the wine a warm and friendly style for a cold winter's evening. JAMES HALLIDAY

    Ok. A man of few words on this one but let me assure you that this is straight up, bloody delicious and yes, we agree its perfect for a cold winter eve. This hidden little beauty from Bleasdale is matured in small oak casks in the rafters of the winery's hot tin roof for a minimum of 7 years before blending. The result is a uniquely Aussie inspired tawny style that is so well priced you might as well by a six pack and sip it to your hearts contents all winter long and never feel guilty.

    Rammed full of clove, five-spice. Licorice root, treacle, honey, plenty of baked walnut and edged with roasted brown sugar. There is that lovely edging of dried citrus peel and fruit cake mix too. Sweet and lush but not as cloying as you might think… don't get us wrong though, its sweet, and that's how we like it.

    Fiore Nero Chianti 2022
    Spiced cherries, dried thyme, rose petals and licorice lead into a swelling belly of berries and twigs. Its lovely and even keeled in its delivery, a spine of tannins ribs around the core of crunchy dark berries. The bright fruit notes are tempered by a savoury edge while a powdery tail of tannins signs off the wine. This is jaw-dropping value for a Chianti. No need to age this, relish in its youthful immediacy. GABRIELLE POY
