Belles Lettres (Cotes du Rhone) 2021 Rouge AOP

The southern Rhône has always been a source of inspiration for Boutinot. Belles Lettres is a category of writing in French, originally meaning beautiful or fine writing. Winemaker Eric Monnin likens it to the way he makes his wines; crafting something of pure beauty. A writer of Belles Lettres is a 'belletrist’.

Soft, smooth and appealingly fruity; good Côtes du Rhône should be a crowd-pleaser. This is full-flavoured and rich with a hint of savoury spice on the finish, typical of well-sunned Grenache which dominates the blend.

Really easy drinking, this wine can be enjoyed on its own. It's a great accompaniment to a summer BBQ: sausages, grilled halloumi, and burgers.

Belles Lettres (Cotes du Rhone) 2021 Villages Rouge AOP

Boutinot select from plots in the best villages in the Côtes du Rhône for our assemblage. Vineyards are mostly chalky-clay soil with a heavy overlay of rounded limestone pebbles (galets roulés). Following a fifteen-day cuvaison, with délestage to gently extract colour and flavour, Grenache Noir is blended with Syrah and matured without oak.

75% Granache & 25% Syrah. This Côtes du Rhône Villages is concentrated and full flavoured with bramble fruit flavours from the Grenache Noir and a savoury spice on the finish.

The perfect accompaniment to comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, or fish and chips. This wine would really shine alongside a burger (be it beef or vegetarian) with blue cheese and triple-cooked chips.

Chapelle de Marin (Cotes du Rhone) 2023 Rouge AOP

All you want from a proper Côtes du Rhône - ripe and characterful with smooth supple tannins.

60% Grenache, 20% Carignan, 10% Mourvèdre. Attractive, juicy, bramble fruit and floral aromas, the palate is up-front and fresh with warm spice and real depth.

Lovely with BBQs; grilled meats, halloumi and vegetables. Herby sausages, pasta with Mediterranean vegetables.

Grant Burge (Barossa) 2021 Distinction Filsell Shiraz

The Grant Burge Wines Filsell vineyard of near century old vines is considered one of the best vineyards in the Barossa Valley, and consistently produces fruit of incredible intensity and concentration. Planted in 1920, the Filsell vineyard also produces some of the fruit for the highly acclaimed Meshach Shiraz, making the Filsell Shiraz a sought-after younger brother to loyal followers.

Nose: Dark chocolate, mocha, plum with caramel lift. Sweet spice and cacao nib. Although serious Shiraz black fruits show the layers are extended with earth and vanilla.

Palate: The tannins are firm but fine, with a full weight and texture carrying liquorice, black spice and some juniper. Full with intense flavours, the wine carries through for an intensely long finish 

Grant Burge (Barossa) 2023 Fifth Generation Shiraz

Gold Medal - New Zealand International Wine Show

Deep dark purple in colour, this wine instantly impresses with aromas of raspberry and blackberry, complemented by spice, subtle vanilla and coffee bean. Full bodied wine where the red fruits in the mid palate are balanced with integrated fine long tannins and hints of sweetness and spice from the oak. The soft integrated tannin structure gives the wine a real elegance and mid palate structure. The multi-layered depth of flavours and long lingering finish make this an impressive wine.

Te Mata Estate (Hawkes Bay) 2023 Syrah

Winery note

"Dark and brooding in the glass, Estate Syrah ’21 is ink-black with a vivid magenta edge. The lifted aromatics of concentrated raspberry and crushed violets quickly become layer upon layer of exotic spices, fruit cake, pancetta, vanilla, and cocoa running the length of this wine’s luscious palate. Dense, saturated, ripe, and enticing in its detail – Estate Syrah ’21 delivers on every dimension."

The Guild of Fanatics (South Australia) 2023 Shiraz

Double Gold - China Wine and Spirits Awards (previous vintage)
Double Gold - Berlin Wine Awards (previous vintage)

Australian Shiraz is a powerhouse, and this wine perfectly captures that bold, rich style. It's no wonder this has been one of our top sellers for years—it's a classic Aussie Shiraz that delivers incredible flavor and unbeatable value.

This Shiraz is a testament to the skill of winemaker Brett Duffin and his "Guild of Fermentation Fanatics." It's crafted to be an immediate showstopper, pouring a deep, ripe, inky color. The nose is incredibly fragrant, bursting with aromas of blackberry, mixed berry compote, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts.

On the palate, it’s a juicy and beautifully plump wine that delivers on the promise of the nose. It’s full-bodied and well-rounded, with a generous mid-palate and plenty of tasty, dark fruit flavors. Sam Kim, a leading wine critic, agrees, calling a previous vintage "fabulously fruited" and giving it an impressive 90 points and 4.5 stars.
