After being without it for almost 2 years, we welcome back this magnificent bubbly that has been with us for over 10 years. We get more requests for this than any other bubbly that we’ve ever stocked. And of course, once you try it, it’s quite understandable. It is an unpretentious, light, dry, very refreshing and crisp bubbly with lovely acidity, refined bubbles and ideal for big functions or just for the weekend! You can drink it on its own, you can mix it with orange juice, cassis etc. At the price it is unequal value for money.... more »

This is one of those super deals that do not come round that often but when they do, you should take it! Selected from old vines, this Chardonnay delivers an array of butterscotch, freshly baked bread but yet maintaining a lovely freshness and fruit flavours. Frankly you would expect to pay close to the $20 mark for a Chardonnay of this quality. It is ideal with white meats or fish, drinking very well now but will also keep for a year or two. Excellent value at $12.95.... more »

Another exceptional offering for this very much underrated producer, it came to us by accident trying some top New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and this just happened to come out on top. Fruity, flinty and aromatic, a barrage of gooseberry and lychee but dry with a lengthy middle palate, succulence and balance, what really good old fashioned Sauvignon Blanc used to be and the main thing really, all for $13.95. An absolute bargain!... more »

Sangiovese, the native grape of Tuscany, responsible for producing stunning Chiantis. This is just a straight Sangiovese from Tuscany but is really what a good Sangiovese should be. Medium to full bodied, hints of leather, dry herbs, almost slightly salty with beautiful supple tannins. Excellent now but will also improve for 2-3 years.... more »

Very well balanced with lovely concentration, depth, dryness and focus. Excellent with fish and spicy dishes. Drink now or over the next 3-4 years.... more »

With a little aging, this Sauvignon Blanc is becoming better and better. The 2016 vintage is perhaps the best up to date, it offers lush gooseberry fruit, lychee and green asparagus but it also has depth and length with good concentration and nerve. Made exclusively for Accent On Wine, at this price will give a lot of other Sauvignon Blanc at $20 a run for their money. Drinking very well now but will also cellar for another 2 years. Drink it with mussels, prawns or any shellfish.... more »

Mencia is an ancient grape variety that has grown in the North West of Spain for many years. On its appearance and taste, it is slightly reminiscent for comparisons sake of a cross between Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Over the last 20-25 years, the variety has grown in popularity and top winemakers from Spain have adopted it and are making exceptional wines from this variety in Bierzo. This is stunning value for money, dark in colour with a perfume of dry herbs, ancient spice and lavender. Full bodied, with soft tannins and an enormous middle palate and long finish. For lovers of super charged Pinot Noir, this is for you at a fraction of the price!... more »

Very few cases remaining of this lovely and excellent value Sav/Blanc, when it came to the crunch and the all important value for money it delivers hands down.

At $16.95 per bottle it is hard to pass considering the quality of many commercial ones on the same price bracket.... more »
