Masi Campofiorin – Italy
This wine comes from Italy’s Veneto region, crafted using the traditional “ripasso” method, where young wine undergoes a second fermentation on the pomace of dried Amarone grapes. This process imparts a rich, mediumbodied profile with flavours of ripe cherry, fig and subtle spices, complemented by soft tannins and a lingering finish.
Pair this wine with hearty dishes such as osso buco, grilled
lamb chops and a rich mushroom risotto.
Cibolo Red Blend – Spain
Cibolo Red Blend is a Spanish red wine crafted from organically grown Monastrell grapes in the Jumilla region. It offers a rich and intense profile with flavours of raspberry, black cherry and subtle hints of spice and chocolate.
Pair this wine with local dishes such as cordero asado (roast lamb) or morcilla (Spanish blood sausage) with roasted peppers.
Aranwa Cabernet Sauvignon – Argentina
A bold red wine from Argentina’s Mendoza region, featuring rich flavours of ripe cherries, blackberries and hints of subtle spice with a smooth-structured finish. Its full body and firm tannins make it ideal for pairing with flavourful dishes.
Pair this wine with bife de chorizo (Argentine sirloin steak), empanadas mendocinas (spiced-beef turnovers) and grilled provoleta cheese with oregano and chimichurri.
Rocca delle Macìe Sasyr – Italy
A Tuscan red wine crafted from a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Syrah grapes. This medium-bodied wine features aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry and raspberry, complemented by subtle hints of spice and a smooth, well-structured palate.
Pair this wine with Tuscan dishes such as crostini di fegatini (chicken liver pâté on toasted bread), bistecca alla fiorentina (Florentine-style T-bone steak) and pappardelle al cinghiale (wide pasta with wild boar ragu).
Château Pesquié Terrasses – France
Beautifully balanced red blend from the Ventoux region of France, offering vibrant notes of ripe-red berries, black cherry and subtle spices, layered with hints of garrigue herbs. Smooth tannins and a fresh finish make it both approachable and complex.
Pair this wine with Provençal dishes like herb-crusted lamb and ratatouille for an authentic regional experience.
Colossal Reserva – Portugal
Colossal Reserva is a bold and full-bodied red wine from Portugal, crafted from a blend of Touriga Nacional, Syrah and Tinta Roriz, delivering rich flavours of dark berries, plum and chocolate, with a touch of oak and spice from aging.
