Video One: Culraithin Shiraz 2000

The Kerr family, who are behind the Culraithin label, can trace their routes back to 9th century Ireland. Culraithin is a derivative of the Gaelic Cuil Rai(th)in, which was later anglicised to Coleraine, where the family’s more recent ancestors lived and farmed in the 1800′s. There’s 20% off South Africa for the month of May, which means this beauty from Paarl is now coming in well under the €20 mark. A real steal for a ten-year-old wine of this quality.

Video Two: Domaine de Vedilhan Sauvignon Blanc 2008

This Sauvignon Blanc shows exactly what the Languedoc region is capable of. We would compare it to a good Pouilly Fumé without the price tag.  Flinty minerality and crisp, clean fruit. This month, buy 5 get one free.

Video Three: Long Neck Merlot 2008

Another super, everyday drinking wine from Long Neck. Many are attracted by the pretty label, but the best sign of a good value product is repeat purchase. With 20% off South Africa, this is wine to buy by the case.

Video Four: Tabalí Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Jay Miller, RP’s Wine Advocate, had this to say; “…a mouth-watering, vibrant, lengthy Sauvignon that way over-delivers for its humble price.” The quality from this northerly region of Chile continues to astound.

Video Five: Langmeil Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

In terms of critics points, this is among our top wines. A Cabernet born and bred in Shiraz country, this spectacular wine has gained outstanding complexity after being matured in new (20%) and seasoned (80%) French oak for two years before release.
