We're really pleased to add a new wine from Gemtree to our range; Cinnabar GSM which has been awarded 93 points by the James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2021.

We are proud to announce that our very own Champagne Castelnau has been named amongst the World’s Most Admired Champagne Brands 2021. This prestigious list is compiled annually by Drinks International and has put Castelnau at number 21, ahead of many other leading Grand Marque Champagnes.

Having launched Alandes last month, we’re thrilled to add another wine to our list from this incredible brand from Karim Mussi.

Alandes Concrete Tank is an unoaked red blend made from Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo which is fermented and aged in small concrete tanks. This is a new wine for Karim, from their beginning in 1999, their winemaking philosophy has been centred around those beautiful concrete tanks, that they were pioneers in rescuing from their Argentine winemaking heritage.

We’re pleased to welcome a new organic producer to our portfolio. Jasmine Monet make a range of stunning sparkling wines from their organic vineyards in Gualtallary, Valle de Uco, Argentina.

Convinced that ‘terroir’ determines the personality and mood of a good sparkling wine, they harvest from their own vineyards in Mendoza, 1,300 meters above sea level. Jasmine Monet has 44 hectares of vines (some up to 60 years old) and being in the foothills of the Andes brings a wonderful natural acidity to the wines. 

We are thrilled to announce that we have added another one of Karim Mussi’s incredible brands to the Vinovia portfolio.

Alandes is a fantastic concept, the name simply means Wines from Along the Andes, the idea being to develop new wines and styles without the restrictions of producing from grapes of, or from, a single terroir.  Every label of Alandes is driven by an individual concept, that represents absolute freedom, a “Laize Faire” winemaking philosophy that is spread in an extensive territory without boundaries.

We have 4 wines from the range; Malbec and Cabernet Franc from Valle de Uco and the unique Paradoux Blanc de Blancs and Paradoux Red Blend.

We are incredibly proud of Mike and Melissa Brown at Gemtree who have made the final of the Inaugural Vineyard of the Year Awards.

Gemtree are one of 50 finalists out of 6,000 Australian vineyards, which is no mean feat, and illustrates how incredible this pair are. The achievements of the finalists will be celebrated online over the next two months, with the winners announced in February. Fingers crossed…

It’s that time of year again when we can announce the scores from the upcoming Guía Peñín 2021 and we are delighted to say that our friends at Perelada have once again made us very proud.
