A 100% Cabernet Franc from the Pizzato winery’s highly regarded Allumé range, made from grapes harvested both locally in the Vale dos Vinhedos and the wider state of Rio Grande do Sul. Part barrel-aged in French oak, this is a lovely mature red showing red cherry and plum aromas, with traces of herbs. Supple, medium-bodied and very approachable! Enjoy on its own or try with grilled meats, sausages, pasta dishes or well flavoured cheeses. Attractively labelled, bottled under cork.

From our very good friends at the Don Guerino winery comes this robust, slightly earthy but smooth-drinking Pinot Noir from the 2022 vintage. Ripe red berry fruit, a touch of herbaceousness and maybe a little spice characterise this medium bodied red, which can be enjoyed equally on its own or paired with mushroom-based, dishes, chicken, game meat or casseroles.

From the Vale dos Vinhedos, the first officially-recognised wine producing region of Brazil, this is a 100% Alicante Bouschet, a red wine unusual for its deep purple coloured pulp, of the so-called ‘teinturier’ variety. The intense dark colour is matched by dense black fruits on the palate, showing maturing tannins and a lingering finish. More savoury than fruity, ideally serve with well seasoned or spiced foods – or maybe a ‘smelly’ cheese!
