2 x Fox Tales Limestone Coast Shiraz 2021 (Australia)

AWARDED 93 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Upfront and fruit expressive, it's beautifully fragrant on the nose with blackberry, thyme, warm spice and toasted nut aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with good weight and succulent fruit intensity, finishing long and harmonious" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

2 x Piqueras ‘Black Label’ Syrah Monastrell 2022 (Spain)

AWARDED GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard 2024
