France
 | Vin de Pays des Coteaux de Murviel - Merlot Domaine Bassac Reference : R3 As with all of the Bassac wines, there is an astonishing level of fruit concentration, with every ounce being eked out of the high quality grapes. Plum and blackcurrant fruit are dominant here, alongside well-defined tannins and acidity. Best appreciated with food, it would make a great partner to chickpea burgers, chard salad and Greek yoghurt. C France, South |
 | AOC Corbieres - Domaine Montmija Reference : R4 Well-established favourite in our list, this wine has a welcoming nose of herb-scented black fruit that follows through to the palate. Succulent and smooth, this is so agreeable that most people just keep coming back for more! C France, South |
"The 11th November is St Martin's day, a very merry day in France. They passe it in eating, drinking and singing excessivelie. Every one tastes his new wine that day, and in tasting it takes too much".

VDP D'OC - Cuvee Gabriel - Merlot Reference :R15
Domaine de Brau. Voted Great Value Red Wine of the Year by WINE Magazine, this Gold Medal-winning wine has excellent Merlot fruit character, an inviting purple character and good juicy fruit.

"Early next morning, when I came out at the hotel door to pursue my journey, I found my friend waiting with one of those immense bottles in which the Italian peasants store their wine - a bottle holding some half-dozen gallons - bound round with basket-work for the greatest safety on the journey".

Nelson Pinot Noir - Richmond Plains Reference R22
Cherry, plum and raspberry aromas with slight savory and chary oak characters on the nose. On the palate quite strong cherry and raspberry flavours with a good fruit sweetness. A softish, easy drinking wine but with good weight and length. More than commendable example of this fickle grape variety. Seal of Approval (2001 vintage) - International Wine Challenge 2003. " Another bargain that happens to be organic. Some true red Burgandy flavours in bright fruit mode." (2001 vintage) Jancis Robinson MW, Financial Times April 2003.

Chile - Valle Central, Vinedos Organicos Emiliana (VOE) owns vineyards in the Colchagua, Maipo and Casablanca Valleys. Carmanere is a blessed grape variety, bringing wonderfully sweet-tasting blackberry and plum fruit with rich round tannins. Smoothing red fruits with floral overtones add up to a very elegant wine.
