Dal Zotto King Valley Merlot Victoria Australia
Description: An attractive nose of ripe berry fruit leads to a palate exhibiting soft berry fruit with good firm tannins and vanilla oak overtones. The wine lingers in your mouth with a persistent dry finish. Merlot is a variety that softens quickly and 2 to 3 years in bottle would produce a soft mellow red. Select this wine to partner lamb or pork dishes for maximum enjoyment. Medium bodied red with a softer plumy palate. The style is light with excellent fruity aromas and flavours that still maintains a good tannic structure.

It is one of the few wineries in the King Valley still family owned and operated. Otto along with his eldest son Michael are responsible for the winemaking duties; the youngest son Christian looks after the selling and distribution. Middle son Julian is the viticulturist and he has a simple philosophy when in the vineyard -you can't make good wine with bad fruit- the result is a great range of food friendly wines that are approachable and have a distinct style. They are in a small group of wineries pioneering the cultivation of Italian wine varietals in Australia (12 x 75 cl) Price: £153.35

Redbank THE FUGITIVE Cabernet Sauvignon King Valley Victoria Australia
Description: Redbank’s badge, the Anvil, is a symbol of times gone by when the early settlers handcrafted their farming implements with the heat of the blazing forge and the strength of the anvil. This strength was apparent in the hard working migrants who established a thriving farming community in the rugged High Country of North East Victoria. Today a small, select 'family' of growers, some direct descendents of the original pioneers, produce premium fruit for the wines of Redbank. Vineyards that are lashed by blizzardly cold winter winds and buried in snow for part of the year emerge at harvest with grapes of the highest quality that enable the Redbank winemakers to produce superb cool climate wines. Fruit for the King Valley wines is harvested from vineyards which sit at nearly 800 metres above sea-level and the Fruit from high altitude vineyards has been blended with a small portion of warmer valley floor fruit. The cool climate fruit has fine grained tannins and aromatic fruit flavours, the warmer valley floor fruit adds richness and complexity before spending up to 32 months in French oak. Deep rich red in colour it has a lifted nose displaying distinctive varietal characteristics; blackcurrant and plums with touches of the eucalypt and mint so typical of the King Valley. The Fugitive Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich balanced wine, with elegant tannins and supple mouth feel. Distinctive Cabernet with cassis fruits, and spice the integrated French oak is showing charr and vanilla giving way to a long spicy finish. This King Valley wine was inspired by the history of Victori and in the 19 th Century, the Australian Bushranger roamed the harsh mountainous country of North East Victoria. These expert horsemen became fugitives from the police as they plundered mail coaches and rich gold trains and stole prize livestock from wealthy landowners. Stealing from the rich … and sometimes, giving to the poor. Legends were born with men like Ned Kelly, Captain Thunderbolt and other colourful characters leading authorities a merry dance.
