Catalpa Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard located in Tupungato, Uco Valley in Mendoza – one of the best wine-growing regions in Argentina. It takes its name from an American tree that grows 10 to 12m high and has beautiful, aromatic white flowers. Bright red ruby in colour. Aromas of blueberry and gooseberry jam, with hints of caramel and chocolate. In the mouth, it is elegant and well-balanced, with smooth tannins and intense red fruit notes. Great with soft cheeses, poultry and lamb. The wine has an aging potential of 8 years.

Rich plum and damson fruit, vanilla notes, plus a lovely lift of violet aromas. Drinking beautifully. First class!

Hints of violets on the nose, red fruits and a touch of cocoa and chocolate leads to a complex and voluptuous palate with firm silky tannins and a long finish. Delightful.

Syrah is one of Mauricio Lorca's favourite grape varieties; he loves its fickle nature, the bold influence it can bring to a blend and, most of all, the song it sings flying solo. This delicious Syrah packs a big, spicy, chocolate-infused punch in its youth but after a few years in bottle, as here, it mellows into a most sultry and complex wine, a delight if you fancy an askew take on the northern Rhône.

A propriety blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc,Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This is a rich, multi layered wine with lashings of dark berry fruit all integrated with a light touch of oak and very fine tannins. Lovely.

An intense wine with layers of dark berry fruit flavours. Chalky tannins layered with mulberry, olive and dark plum compote give elegance and finesse.

Classic, elegant Heathcote Shiraz with fine structure, good red fruit and traditional leathery complexity. More restrained than most Australian Shiraz's.

A 2nd Label sitting nicely with the Art series. This is a tasty, straight forward Shiraz with top quality results from younger vines. Plenty of black fruit and smoky spice make for an enjoyable drinking experience.
