VINA RAVANAL CARMENERE, CHILE
Carmenere is one of the most mis-understood grapes around. Although an old Bordeaux favourite, it is now virtually extinct in Europe. For many years it was mistaken for Merlot in South America, but is now beginning to get the recognition it deserves - One of my favourites Funky shaped bottled too!

WILLOWGLEN SHIRAZ CABERNET, S.E. AUSTRALIA
"By Royal Approval" this is selected by Buckingham Palace as one of their House Wines. Rich with loads of flavour and an abundance of fruit. Blackcurrant from the Cabernet just about over shadows the peppery Shiraz - Fabulous price too!

KLIPPENKOP CINSAUT / SHIRAZ, SOUTH AFRICA
Cinsaut is a grape variety that is generally found in southern France, and produces wine that is light, fresh and a with a touch of spice. It is rarely found as a red wine sole varietal, but works well as Rose' on its own. The strength of body and flavour of the Shiraz blends with it here very well.

WAKEFIELD ESTATE CHARDONNAY, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The Cabernet Sauvignon from this mob last month was tremendously well received. I only hope you feel the same way about this. These Aussie Chardonnay's can be a bit rich, but the quality should see off the sceptics. Enjoy!

OLD COACH ROAD SAUVIGNON BLANC, NEW ZEALAND
I'm sorry to say this is likely to be the last of this wine, as I am probably not getting it again. Certainly not because it's no good, I had lots of good reports about it. Produced just nextdoor to Marlborough, it has many of the fine qualities without the price-tag! "Farewell!"

Chenin Blanc, or sometimes know as "Steen" in South Africa, started out life in the Loire, where it is responsible for many great sweet wines. In South Africa, it accounts for over 25% of all the vineyard areas. Dryish and fruity best describes. Very easy.
