Ripe plum, blackberries and cherries on the nose. This is rich and rounded wine with perfectly balanced tannins. The long finish is smooth and succulent. This wine cries out for barbecued meat or strong cheeses.
The vineyards for Fidèle Soleilla are perched high in the dramatic hills and terraces above the Vallée d’Agly with a unique character of its own. The famed black schist is interspersed with pockets of limestone from the higher slopes, combining the richness and power that is typical of Maury with a fresher, more finely defined character. A very special site making very special wine.

Corbeau Wines Mad Bird Dark Blend
Corbeau Wines is the project of the Rodriguez family and a whole new concept on the creation of products designed to satisfy a young, bold and discoverer audience. Having found a small plot of Ancellota, an Italian grape used for Lambrusco wine, in amongst the Malbec vines, they now continue to grow it and make some fantastic wines, both single varietal and blends.
The Mad Bird label is a project aimed at the occasional drinker that just enjoy wine without knowing or having to know the technicalities. This is big, savoury wine with plenty of fruit flavours of red berries, cherries and plums with notes of vanilla from some oak ageing. This is smooth and easy drinking yet big. It can be drunk on its own but would really excel when paired with big rich dishes.
Holden Manz Visionaire
Winemaker Thierry Haberer has been making wines around the world for over a decade. He has spent time working in Bordeaux and Napa Valley in the USA before settling at the Holden Manz Wine Estate in Franschhoek Valley, one of South Africa’s premiere winemaking regions. The estate boasts 22 hectares of exclusively red grape varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.
This multi award winning wine is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Malbec. This is a big, bold spicy beast of a wine that has more than a whiff of top end Bordeaux and Hermitage about it. Ripe black fruit , liquorice and leather on the nose and palate; the fruit dominates but well balanced acidity and tannin are very much in the mix. A peppery spicy finish is particularly satisfying.
Make no bones about it, this is a wine that demands – not asks – demands to be paired with the reddest of red meats.
Riglos Gran Malbec
Riglos is a town in La Pampa Province that friends Dario Werthein and Fabian Suffern have honored in naming their winery. It was a place where their ancestors had settled when they arrived in Argentina. In the Uco Valley, they found great parcels of grapes in a very barren landscape from which they made their first wines.
A juicy wine with intense aromas of smoky black fruits moving to lots of ripe red and black fruits and cassis on the palate. A very expressive wine of great personality with firm tannins and balanced acidity.
De Angeles Malbec
De Angeles winery is located in the Salta region of Argentina and they focus on producing small, very well-made, elegant wines. Grapes are only ever from De Angeles’ one small vineyard – ‘Viña 1924 Parcel 3’ – and the age of the vines partly explains the stunning concentration here; but don’t expect a ‘blockbuster’, this is elegance itself.
The wine is matured in French oak barrels for 14 months making it intense and rich with lovely aromas of plums and sweet red berries. It is silky-textured with layers of savoury notes and incredible length. Very moreish with plenty of freshness and complexity.
Blank Bottle Jaaa-Bru!!
If you translate the word “Mal” from Afrikaans to English, it means “crazy” and “Bek” means “mouth”. And that was quite clearly the inspiration behind this label! This is of course 100% Malbec from the Helderberg.
Like dark chocolate dipped oranges, with lovely minty notes, violets and a sweet perfume. Medium-full bodied, and very much so showing the softer, prettier side of Malbec, with gentle tannins, good freshness, and a lovely rounded mouthfeel.
Trefethen Estate Eshcol
Eshcol was the original name of the Trefethen Estate in Napa Valley, first planted in the 1800’s. The wines made there helped establish Napa’s early reputation for quality wines. A Bordeaux-style blend with bold fruit aromas, leading to bright blackberry and cherry on the palate. A balanced wine, great for any occasion from a barbeque to pizza night.
