Must-Have Red Selection with Extras

16 Little Black Pigs Shiraz Cabernet 2023

• ABV: 14%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

Combining perfectly ripe, spicy Shiraz with blackberry and herbal-scented Cabernet Sauvignon has become second nature to the South Australian winemakers. It is a style of wine that simply just works. Steve's winery in the McLaren Vale brings us, once again, a classic Aussie red full of vibrant fruit character.

Billy Bosch Bushvine Cinsault 2022

• ABV: 13.5%
• Vintage: 2022
• Size: 75cl

In its flavour profile, Cinsault (or Hermitage as it was originally known) tastes like a smoky Pinot Noir, and these two varietals are the parent grapes responsible for the creation of South Africa's most revered red grape, Pinotage. From its very terminology, 'dryland' indicates challenging terroir but vines and roots work harder to extract more from the soil. Furthermore, bush vines naturally expel lower yields, which in turn aid the concentration of fruit and ultimately, the wine's intensity. Billy Bosch is highly drinkable with black cherry at its core and subtle floral overtones. To complement its mineral-led backbone, try guinea-fowl and braised kale. This Cinsault is also going to work well with Toulouse sausages and parmentier potatoes.

Dragon Hills Pinot Noir 2023

• ABV: 13%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

Dragon Hills Pinot Noir has a lovely light red fruited nose that is really rather pretty. There's gentle supporting notes from a little time in oak and a delightfully soft finish. After a few years working closely with one of Romania's leading wineries, Cramele Recas, we're excited to finally list one of their Pinot Noirs, famed for both quality and value! With a history of winemaking dating back 6000 years, (pretty impressive) this is a taste of just how bright a future the wines of Romania have.

Pizo Garnacha 2023

• ABV: 13.6%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

The Pizo series is all about varietal character. The location of the vineyard, its altitude and the soil type all play an important role in allowing the fruit here to express everything it can and should. The long days of Spanish summer sunshine mean the fruit can gradually but thoroughly ripen. The altitude keeps the temperature in check so there's no chance of over-ripeness. And then there's the slate-rich soils which give the wine a clear and defined structure with a mineral texture to the palate.

• ABV: 14%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

Discover the bold and expressive flavours of this epically good Aussie Shiraz. A vibrant red, crafted from premium grapes grown in South Australia's renowned Limestone Coast region, known for producing wines with rich character, depth to the dark fruit but also layered with leafy freshness. A wine with notes of ripe blackberries, plums, hints of spice, balanced by subtle oak and fine tannins.
