2023 Dominique Piron Beaujolais-Villages

The Dominique Piron Beaujolais-Villages is one of the best value entry-level Beaujolais on the Australian market. Crafted from 100% Gamay sourced from 50-year-old vines, this wine delivers everything you want in a fresh, light-bodied red—bright fruit, natural freshness, and incredible drinkability.

On the nose, bright notes of cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate leap from the glass, while the palate reveals a juicy core supported by crisp acidity and fine tannins. It’s light, crunchy, and wonderfully refreshing, perfect for enjoying with a slight chill. The granite soils and hand-harvested grapes lend a touch of complexity, making this a seriously fun yet refined wine that’s a joy to drink.

Whether you’re looking for a great companion to your next picnic or a versatile red to pair with grilled chicken or salads, this Beaujolais-Villages is our go-to. Delightfully smashable, it’s proof that quality Beaujolais doesn’t have to break the bank!

2022 Domaine la Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone Un Air de Remejeanne

Looking for a pure, mineral-accented wine that captures the essence of the rugged Sabran landscape in the southern Rhone? Meet Un Air Côtes du Rhône, a beautifully crafted Grenache Syrah blend from Olivier Klein.

This certified organic wine is made from 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, sourced from the estate’s highland, sandy limestone vineyards around the hamlet of Sabran. The fruit is handpicked, sorted, and mostly destemmed before undergoing a natural ferment and a five-day cold soak. Maturation happens in concrete tanks for seven to eight months, ensuring no oak interference. The wine is unfined and lightly filtered before bottling, preserving its natural character.

Un Air Côtes du Rhône is full of bright red fruit, jumping out of the glass with scents of just-picked raspberries, cherries, and a bouquet of lavender, sage, thyme, and violet. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and fine, with a rocky, dusty feel and a gentle caress of tannins that enhance its crunchy-fruited drinkability. This is a cool-climate Rhone at its best—supple, fragrant, and bursting with energy.

If you're just dipping your toe in the Loire Valley pool, this is the perfect place to discover the charms of well-handled Cabernet Franc.

2021 Clos la Coutale Cahors

This little Malbec/ Merlot blend from the Cahors region is a full-bodied-red lover's dream.

It's a wine that really packs a punch. The robust plums, licorice and earthiness that this wine shows year in, year out, is a testament to the great vineyards and six generations of winemaking knowledge that's been passed down at Clos La Coutale.

It delivers loads of flavour for the bucks.

It's hands down one of the best value French imports that we've come across - the perfect BBQ wine or mid-week quaffer. It's a six-pack buy, no doubt.

    Disappointing

    I’m usually a big fan of your mixed packs, but this one was fairly disappointing. None of the wines were great.
