1 x La Serrana Tempranillo 2012 D.O Cariñena

Cariñena is the largest of the four DO zones in the Aragón region. Traditionally most of the hefty reds were sold in bulk for blending but like many regions they are now looking to break with the past. Progressive private bodegas are now becoming far more common. Classic Tempranillo notes of dark cherry and blackcurrant are lifted by a hint of dried flowers and spice. Superbly balanced, the fruits of the forest flavours are perfectly complemented by soft tannins. Approachable and good value, to be drunk now with barbecues and steaks.

1 x Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2012 Grifone

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, not to be confused with the Tuscan village of the same name, is made from the Montepulciano grape variety from the Abruzzi region. This is the signature wine from the area, with coastal plantings at the foot of the Apennines mountains. Whilst standards in this region can vary, this is a reliable, medium-bodied wine with lots of red cherry fruit and soft supple tannins. The ripeness of the fruit and the soft tannic structure make this the perfect party wine or for drinking with light pork dishes.

1 x Aspen Shiraz 2011/2012 South Eastern Australia

The Aspen range is named after the Aspen tree, with its characteristic quivering leaves, sometimes referred to as 'chattering tongues'. This Shiraz is sourced from a number of partner growers and is matured mainly in steel vats to preserve youthful fruit flavours. A medium weight red, with a pleasing balance between ripe fruit and savoury, earthy notes on the nose. The palate is succulent and mouthfilling, with lashings of red berry and brambles. Serve with spiced red meat dishes such as steaks, lamb kebabs or grilled chops.

1 x Château Méaume 2008/2009 Bordeaux Supérieur

Set in beautiful countryside, 15 kilometres from the famous wine districts of St-Emilion and Pomerol, Château Méaume represents a striking example of how ancient tradition and modern technology can combine in the making of a magnificent wine. A nose of fruitcake, spice and ripe, plummy fruit. Soft and rich on the palate, with blackcurrants, plum, and smoky cedarwood. The classic structure of this wine will cope with all manner of foods.

1 x Montequinto Rioja NV García Carrión

A great value Rioja, made in a youthful, easy-drinking style by Marqués de Carrión, who are based in the historic town of Labastida in the Rioja Alavesa sub-region. Founded in 1890 by José García-Carrión, the winery is today one of the largest in Spain.

1 x Brancott Estate Pinot Noir South Island 2011

The fruit in this wine comes mainly from across Marlborough, with small amounts from other regions, creating a consistent benchmark Pinot. A variety of yeast strains, and ageing in a mixture of French and American oak are also used, further enhancing complexity. Bright red cherries and summer berries characterise the fruit, highlighted by aromas of dried herbs. The sweetness of the fruit is balanced by firm tannins and a streak of taut acidity. Drink this in its youth, with a mushroom risotto or pasta dish.
