Silky tannin and bright acidity complete this juicy and energetic blend.

The region is hot and dry, with long sunny days balanced by cool nights. The loamy and sandy soils are unique to the Murray River system and nourish strong vines. Together the heat, rivers and soils produce grapes which create soft and flavorful wines. Alcohol: 13.5%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions.

 | Macabeo Sauvignon Blanc LE21 January 2022 Release Ready in 6-8 Weeks Minimum Advertised Price: Macabeo and Sauvignon Blanc are perfect partners in this bright and balanced blend. Together they show aromas of citrus and tropical fruit, with soft white blossom. The palate is lush and layered with pronounced flavors of green apple, pear, grapefruit and tropical fruit, with light notes of honeysuckle and grass. Fresh and flavourful with lively acidity, elegant complexity, and medium persistence. SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Baked Feta With Tomatoes, Capers & Olives ADDITIONAL FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Rice dishes, seafood, vegetable tempura MANCHUELA, SPAIN Manchuela is framed by the Júcar and Cabriel rivers, whose sediments make up the limestone-based clay soils. Two large reservoirs to the north provide irrigation during the very dry growing season. Vineyards here are 600-1000m above sea level; the altitude has a cooling effect and combines with fresh Mediterranean winds to moderate the hot summer days. This helps slow ripening, resulting in white grapes that produce fresh, fruity wines with good acidity. Alcohol: 13%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions.

 | Marselan LE21 February 2022 Release Ready in 6-8 Weeks Minimum Advertised Price: A cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, this relatively young French varietal displays the best characteristics of both parents. Marselan is deeply coloured with a powerful nose of jammy red and black fruits and spice. The palate delivers rich ripe fruit flavours of blackberry, plum and black currant with spicy notes, balanced acidity, and well-rounded tannins. Supple, smooth, and seductive. SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Grilled Lam & Fig Skewers ADDITIONAL FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Charcuterie, grilled meat (bbq, burgers, pork chops), fresh lasagna with pesto, lamb navarin, dark chocolate desserts LANGUEDOC, FRANCE This is the true home of Marselan; it was developed here in 1961 and takes its name from Marseillan, a coastal village near where it was first bred and planted. Soils vary across the large region with limestone and clay the most common. The Mediterranean climate, with hot sunny days tempered by cool sea breezes at night, makes the Languedoc a perfect place for growing grapes. Alcohol: 13%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. Sweetness: Body: Oak: |
 | Trebbiano Riesling LE21 March 2022 Release Ready in 6-8 Weeks Minimum Advertised Price: Lemon peel, melon, and green apple on the nose with a light chamomile undertone. The palate offers orchard fruit flavours of yellow apple and white peach fused with melon, citrus, and fresh minerality. This inviting blend showcases the high natural acidity of both Trebbiano and Riesling; it’s fun, fresh, and fruity with a touch of sweetness and a lot of pizzazz. SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Lemon & Rosemary Butter Braised Shrimp ADDITIONAL FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Pasta, shellfish, mature hard cheeses, risotto, or enjoy as an aperitif PUGLIA & VENETO, ITALY North and South come together in this fresh blend. The Trebbiano comes from Puglia in the south, the heel of Italy’s boot. The dry heat, balanced by cooling breezes from the surrounding seas, along with the region’s fertile soils create the perfect conditions for growing mature and fruity grapes. In the north, the long summers of picturesque Veneto bring Riesling to full ripeness and the cool nights help the varietal retain freshness and its natural high acidity. Alcohol: 12.5%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. Sweetness: Body: Oak: |
 | Grenache Carignan – with grape skins LE21 April 2022 Release Ready in 6-8 Weeks Minimum Advertised Price: Grenache Carignan – Garnacha Cariñena in Spanish – is at once intense and harmonious. Deep ruby red with alluring aromas of blackberry, spice, and leather nuances. A provocative palate of black fruit, cherry, red berry and plum with well-integrated oak and accents of licorice and spice. Rich velvety tannins, moderate acidity, and a long savoury finish. SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Southwest Strip Loin with Skillet Succotash ADDITIONAL FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Grilled lamb, sausages, hearty winter stews MANCHUELA, SPAIN The climate in Manchuela is ideal for reds; the inland region has a continental climate with high daytime temperatures and long hours of sunshine but is still close enough to the coast to experience cool nights thanks to Mediterranean winds. This temperature swing creates favourable conditions for red grapes to slowly ripen, perfectly developing tannin, colour, and varietal character. The resulting wines show excellent flavour, colour, and mouthfeel. Alcohol: 14%* *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. Sweetness: Body: Oak: |
