Botter Gran Passione Veneto Rosso
$20.39
This Veneto blend of Corvina Rosso and Merlot offers great value. The 2022 vintage offers a core of plush cherry and spiced plums with a hint of vanilla. The grapes are harvested slightly overripe, then de-stemmed and vinified with approximately 15 days of maceration to extract colour and tannin structure. The late harvest gives it a slight Amarone profile minus the 16% punch of alcohol.

Mayu Sauvignon Blanc
$16.99
This is one terrific buy! Viña Mayu was established in 2005, branching off from the Elqui Valley’s first fine wine producer that started up in 1998. Mauro Olivier was one of the pioneers, planting vines for fine wine production and sourcing grapes from different vineyards in the valley. He started working in his family's vineyards at a young age and spent some time working in Pisco production (the national Chilean spirit, made from white wine). In 2000, he planted the first Carménère and Syrah vines in the valley. Five years later, in 2005, he decided it was time to embark on his own wine project, creating the Mayu label. Mayu is an ancient INCA name for the Milky Way, literally meaning "creek of stars." Mayu's Sauvignon Blanc is an intensely aromatic dry white wine with ripe gooseberry, citrus and apple fruit flavours with crisp acidity. It's best served with white fish and shellfish, and can also be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. This Sauvignon Blanc shows an opulent character, nice fruit expression, length and complexity.
