Oh sweet Lou, how the ‘Fo loves you! For six vintages running, our Mofo’s have snatched up all the Golden Lion shiraz as fast as we could get it into our warehouse. So where do we go from here? It’s onwards and upwards into the stratosphere of the reserve. For the first time in the history of the ‘Fo, we’ve got the Golden Lion RESERVE shiraz in stock. It’s from the excellent 2017 vintage and feels kinda like welding a jet engine to the back of their regular shiraz. Strap in tight cos it’s gonna be a wild ride. In the glass, the colour is a deep crimson red and there’s lifted aromas of plum, pepper, vanilla and mocha. The palate is full and generous with dark fruits, interwoven spice and savoury tannins. Lou Miranda has included American oak in the ageing regime on this, adding a touch of coconut and further vanilla to the wine. It’s ready to go with a big ole’ steak right now or will happily nap in your cellar for 15 years. This big boy is here for you now and in the future.

CW wines are mofo favourites and this cabernet is no exception. As wine critic, Sam Kim describes: "This is a stunning rendition of the variety, offering fruit purity, richness and immense complexity. The gloriously fragrant bouquet shows dark and purple fruit richness with violet, dark cocoa, subtle spice and cedar notes. It's concentrated and mouthfilling on the palate, displaying outstanding depth and intensity, leading to a gorgeous stylish finish." Leave to cellar for a few more years or drink now, the choice is yours mofo!

Château Beauvillage makes one wine and one wine only. They’ve been at it this way since 1925. Good thing they are so skilled at it. Year after year, it delivers its distinctive character. The winemaker adapts the fermentation process to the specific vintage conditions, but always keeping the blend the same - 55% merlot and 45% cabernet sauvignon. The 2018 edition saw 12 months in toasted French oak before bottling. It’s wonderfully complex and aromatic with ripe fruit notes of cherry and plum with hints of cedar, mocha and smoke behind the scenes. The tannins are silky and lead to a lingering finish. This is a wine of richness and structure, something both hedonistic and serious at the same time.

If we had to describe this wine in three words: Bold, confident and oh so delicious. The bouquet is inviting with red cherries and raspberries and that hint of spice that McLaren Vale is so well-know for. The palate displays excellent fruit intensity with wonderfully silky tannins. Bold, confident and oh so delicious. Whether you decide to save this for a few years or enjoy it tonight with a scrumptious steak, either choice is good.

Corbières is the leading appellation of the Languedoc-Roussillon region in south west France. The region is famous for their powerful red blends and this is a very classy example of their place. Castlemaure is a winery named after a town in which an army of 150 residents take care of hundred of plots, which go into the creation of their wines. ‘Les Hautes’ is one of their two top wines, from the best barrels, of the best sites. The wine has a deep dark colour and dense cassis, forest floor and shaved graphite on the nose. The palate starts very elegantly and then boom - fruit and power. Dark berries and potpurri with super-fine and abundant tannin. There’s a hint of beef stock on the back palate with all that chalky tannin and black tea on the finish - lots going on. This is a long and powerful wine, with so many flavours and nuances to discover.
