Hailing from Rioja, this Tempranillo-dominant wine is medium bodied with dark berry fruit aromas and flavours. Tempranillo can taste different depending on how ripe the fruit is at picking and how the wine is treated at the winery.
Pair this wine with grilled striploin, andouille sausage and hardy potato dishes.
Beaujolais is often forgotten in the mix in France’s major wine regions. Home to the Gamay grape, it produces wines that are light, fruity and fresh. The best sub-regions are called Crus, and Côte de Brouilly is one that produces structured wines that are also very fruit driven and super fun to taste.
Pair this wine with turkey, chicken and salmon dishes.
Shiraz is having a bit of a resurgence from Australia at the moment. The days of having sweet, over-extracted jam bombs is slowing down. Now, more serious winemakers are taking over and creating delicious, balanced and intense wines from the Shiraz grape.
Pair this wine with slow cooked brisket and grilled ribeye steaks.
The Barossa Valley is home to some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the planet. The team at Peter Lehmann has been making terrific wines from Cabernet in the Barossa Valley for a long time. This is a fantastic wine that can be drunk now or even cellar for a handful of years past the vintage.
Pair this wine with beef short ribs, grilled Italian sausage and pork tenderloin.
Ribera del Duero is in north-central Spain, where it is hot and dry. Here, Tempranillo can reach high levels of ripeness and it results in full-bodied, high alcohol, black fruit-flavoured wines that lend themselves to barrel aging. The Bela is a classic example of what you can expect from Ribera del Duero.
Pair this wine with grilled lamb chops, wild boar and baked potatoes.
Kendall-Jackson is one of the most well-known names in the world of wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Sonoma County, where typically cooler temperatures allow for slower maturation and more elegance. This is a delicious Cabernet for anyone who loves full-bodied, fruit-driven wines.
Pair this wine with beef tenderloin, bison steak and smoky grilled vegetables.
