Taste the difference Primitivo
‘I was so excited when I first tasted this wine on my buying trip to Puglia in Italy. It’s so fruity – it’s absolutely bursting with blueberry flavours and a hint of spice. It’s a great match for spicy food.’

Stamford Brook Shiraz Viognier
‘This wine combines powerful Shiraz, with its spicy black fruit and pepper flavours, with a touch of aromatic Viognier. I discovered this wine on my last trip to Australia and think it’s a real winner. Great with Moroccan lamb.’
Julian Dyer, Australian wine buyer
Muriel Rioja Crianza
‘I’m a big fan of Rioja and this Crianza delivers on flavour with delicious strawberry and raspberry notes, underpinned by hints of smooth vanilla oak. Rioja’s perfect partner is roast lamb.’
