cowra, NSW  > organic >  vegan suitable > 9 cases only

This is a pretty tidy red. It has prominent acidity but lovely fruit flavour – its appeal is not dissimilar to that of a decent quality Chianti. It tastes of mulberries, earth, dark cherries and fresh cedarwood. It’s got grainy, savoury tannin and a fresh, juicy finish... Rated : 89+ Points » Campbell Mattinson » www.winefront.com.au

organic hunter red » cherry fruit & savoury balance » new 

chambourcin merlot shiraz > hunter valley, NSW > organic >  cleanskin

Deep red/purple in colour with bright purple edges, the nose shows bright red cherry fruit with a touch of dustiness and some savoury meaty undertones. The palate is medium-light with more red fruit flavours, a hint of pepper and some pleasant clove spiciness. The tannis are light but velvety & the length quite good with a fresh acid finish. A great match for a variety of foods & definitely over-delivers at its price point. » read more

Hochkirch Cleanskin rose

hochkirch cleanskin rose » biodynamic bargain

Henty, VIC > biodynamic > low preservative > vegan suitable > wild yeast ferment

Lovely coral pink colour with interesting aromas of red berries, rhubarb, canteloupe & earthy undertones. The palate is dry with a soft slightly viscose texture. It is not shy on alcohol and there is a slight amount of bitterness on the finish. I'm thinking stir-fried five spice pork belly as a food match.  Michelle Gadd » organicwine.com.au  » read more
