Ideal all-rounder red, leaning to the sort of blend you'd expect from a region neighbouring Bordeaux. The grapes each show off a bit of their typical character in good balance; savoury Malbec, herbaceous Cab Franc, red-fruited Merlot and plummy, spicy Cab Sauv. Find out more.

Aromatically this is a textbook example of the grape; plush, brightly-toned notes of red berries, charred capsicum and ground coffee are vibrant and upfront. On the palate the wine is glossy, with deep, sumptuous fruit and gentle bitters leading into detailed granular tannins and a stony, mineral backbone. Find out more.

Deep, lip-smacking blackcurrant and peppery spice rules from the thicker-skinned grapes, with the Cab Franc contributing some plush sheen and herbal fragrance. Showing a bit more structure than previous vintages, this hits somewhere between the breeziness of Les Vacances and the heft of Les Quilles de Joie. Find out more.
