A wine that seriously over delivers for the price, estate grown lightly oaked Merlot with an abundance of ripe, plummy fruit all at a great price! The best value on the market
"2010: If you have a big crowd and a tight budget, this should fit the bill perfectly; light, sweet, jammy fruits and no rough tannins."John Wilson - 12 November 2011
Pinot Grigio as it is meant to be, Rizzardi’s single estate wine is bursting with ripe pear and peachy fruit. This is a more serious, complex take on Pinot Grigio with honey and sweet spices adding to the rich pear fr ...
"2010: Light, fresh pear and apple fruits, nicely rounded and just the right side of refreshing. Perfect party wine."John Wilson - 12 November 2011
Time and time again the Karu range has proved to be some of the best value wines available in Ireland. Very well-made with excellent crisp, lively fruit…bargain.
The best vintage of our most popular Argentine red, loads of fruit, good oak and a very smooth rounded palate. We are recommending this as a “buy by the case” great all-round red.

This little Chateau continues to perform well above its expected level, structured yet smooth, plenty of fruit aligned with savoury complexity. An all round beautiful expression of Minervois.
"Yet another little treasure from O’Briens Château Remaury Minervois is a cracker of a red wine. It’s peppery with dense Syrah fruit, quite concentrated but lovely and supple."
This is quite simply one of the best Ripassos made by anyone, year in year out it gets top ratings from major critics. An elegant style with pure wild-cherry fruit and sweet spice, very smooth.
"...black pepper and chocolate with a dense cherry and blueberry nose. Seductive and decadent, with an elegant earthiness and tobacco leaf touch. Very lingering, with a sweet and mineral blackberry finish."Rated "Highly Recommended" 4****
From the exceptional 2009 vintage this is a high quality CDR Villages, anyone would be hard pushed to tell the difference between this and good Gigondas.
"2009: A rich, full bodied red from the fabulous 2009 vintage – one of the best of the decade. Well balanced, fruit driven wine which comes from one of the top villages (Plan de Dieu). Blackberries on the nose, soft fruit and spice on the palate."Matthew Nugent - 20 March 2011
Top quality Languedoc wine owned by Pichon-Longueville in Bordeaux. This vintage surpasses last year’s, it is elegant balanced and has great richness of fruit; Rated “Outstanding” 90 Parker Points
"2006: Think top flight Châteauneuf du Pape heft, with savoury Bordeaux earthiness and gloss, all contained within a fresh and well-priced Languedoc (89)."Tomás Clancy - 21 August 2011
Owned by Goelet estates (famous for Clos du Val) Taltarni is at the very top of the quality ladder. Made from Taltarni’s cool climate vineyards this is a Shiraz with everything beautifully balanced.
One of Argentina's great wines rated outstanding by Wine Specator & Parker's Wine Advocate aswell as a big press favourite here - truly world class
"2007: …this is an amazingly smooth, full throttle wine, packed with enveloping, sultry dark fruits and spicy new oak, kept together by a good firm structure."John Wilson - 08 January 2011
