Red Wine from France

Supple and juicy syrah-based blend from acclaimed Languedoc 'Grand Gru' Mas de Daumas Gassac - staggering bank for buck!

Friendly, ORGANIC Merlot that hits the spot at parties, casual dinners, barbecues and in front of the television.

Bottled un-fined and un-filtered so as to retain as much character as possible. Animated, red fruited style.

Great-value Midi Merlot that is easily confused with a ripe and forward Saint-Émilion. The Languedoc does it again!

Sensational for the price - dark, savoury, silky minerals, complex and beautifully balanced.

The result of stringent grape selection, meticulous winemaking & one of the best Bordeaux vintages ever.

An absolutely sensational Bordeaux that puts to shame many more expensive offerings from this famous region.

Lovely varietal expression in this light, elegant and highly versatile Pinot Noir.

Rich, oaky Gigondas with an excellent balance of concentrated plum fruit, acidity & melt in your mouth tannins.

This Bordeaux Supérieur is Gavin Quinney's flagship wine, made from the estate's finest Merlot grapes.

A great way to discover Mourvèdre dominated wines, silky smooth with a stiff upper lip, generous but serious.

A brilliant colour, a powerful bouquet, and a soft, lively flavour for the modern wine drinker.

Today more than ever, this wine offers the best price vs quality ratio in the entire Margaux appellation.
