Unique Red Varietals
Our Unique Red Varietals are a collection of red wines featuring a single grape variety. These wines are often the featured wine of smaller growing regions and have well earned reputations as classic wines.
Selection Estate Series Lodi Old Vines Zinfandel
Ultra PremiumThe famous thick, gnarled and twisted old Zinfandel vines of Lodi in California's Central Valley contribute to intense concentrated flavours in the grapes. The wine is deep and rich, with bold, zesty aromas and ripe berry fruits on the tongue. Robust and exciting, it bursts with a spiciness that is met head on by the premium French oak.

Selection International Italian Brunello with Grapeskins
PremiumItalian Brunello is bold, yet supple, the big, smoky-earthy nose of ultra-ripe cherry and currant-like fruit gives way to a hint of tar and cracked black pepper, cedar, whiffs of liquorice, leather, and also plums and black cherries, followed by a richly tannic, long, long finish. It’s firm backbone of acids and tannins make it work well with rich and spicy foods like Italian sausages or lasagna as well as hard cheeses such as Asiago and Pecorino Romano.

Selection International Spanish Tempranillo with Grapeskins
PremiumSelection International Grapeskins Spanish Tempranillo shows the black cherry, raspberry, plum and tobacco notes of the varietal, but the wine tends towards lushness and an overflowing of soft, ripe tannins, rather than bright fruit. Vanilla and spice notes in the oak give way to a beguiling hint of dark coffee on the finish. Medium-to-full bodied, it will drink well under three months, and will soften impressively after six months to a year in the bottle.

The finish is long and smooth, with ripe and appealing fruit and surprising complexity in the nose.
