Kaiken Clasico Malbec 2023
Kaiken Clásico Malbec is a vibrant, fruit-forward expression of Mendoza's signature grape — crafted by a winery with a compelling story. Named after the wild geese of Patagonia that cross the Andes, Kaiken was founded by the Chilean Montes team who made the same journey to establish vineyards in Argentina. The result is a Malbec of real character: ripe, expressive, and beautifully approachable. Why You'll Love It Sourced from the Agrelo zone in Mendoza at 950 metres above sea level, where Andean soils of silt, clay, sand, and stone push the vines to produce grapes of exceptional concentration and freshness. Kaiken combines fruit from its own vineyards (70%) with carefully selected partner sites (30%), focusing on balance, ripeness, and expressive varietal character. Partially aged in French oak for added depth — without losing the vibrant fruit that makes this wine so easy to love. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-picked into 300kg batches and meticulously sorted at the winery. Fermentation takes place in small tanks with approximately 20 days of maceration to extract colour, aroma, and structure. Around 40% of the wine is then aged for six months in French oak barrels before blending, ensuring a harmonious balance of fresh fruit and integrated oak. Tasting Notes Deep purple in colour. The nose reveals pronounced plum and blackberry aromas, complemented by black pepper and clove. The palate is fresh and expressive, with soft, ripe tannins and a balanced, approachable finish that keeps you coming back for more. Perfect Pairings A versatile red for the table. Excellent with grilled meats, slow-roasted lamb, hearty pasta dishes, and roasted vegetables. Also a great match for mature cheddar or a smoky barbecue spread. The Blend Malbec 100% — Agrelo, Mendoza, Argentina. 950m altitude. Partial French oak ageing. 75cl bottle.
Shingleback Davey Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz 2020
Shingleback Davey Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz is a rich, expressive red from one of McLaren Vale's most celebrated family estates, crafted from a single vineyard parcel within the Davey Estate farm to capture the authentic character and enduring essence of this exceptional South Australian wine region. Why You'll Love It Shingleback's Single Vineyard range is all about place. By sourcing fruit from a single, carefully selected parcel within the Davey Estate, winemaker John Davey is able to highlight the unique influence of soil and microclimate on the wine, producing a Shiraz of real depth, complexity, and regional identity. McLaren Vale is one of Australia's great Shiraz regions, and this is a textbook expression of why, rich, structured, and beautifully crafted at a price that over-delivers on quality. Vineyard & Production Fruit is sourced from a single vineyard parcel within the Davey Estate in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Grapes are fermented in open fermenters with controlled pump-overs to gently extract colour and flavour while avoiding bitter tannins. After pressing, the wine is matured for 12 months in oak hogsheads, 10% new, with 70% French oak and 30% American oak, with the balance aged in older French barrels. Individual barrel selection ensures a carefully crafted and harmonious final blend. Tasting Notes Deep red with hints of purple. Intense aromas of blackberry, dark plum and violet, layered with mocha, black pepper and subtle oak. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with fine tannins, balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish that reflects the character of the vineyard and region. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for roast lamb, beef short rib, and slow-braised red meats. Also excellent with roast chicken, pancetta, and rich, savoury dishes. Grape Variety Shiraz 100%
