New & Limited Releases

French White Meritage
Our KenRidge Showcase Collection White Meritage is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Viognier. The resulting wine is a muscular, oaky blend that is a mouthful of white wine.

Australian Petit Verdot
A strong condender as the alternative to Shiraz in the warmer wine regions of Australia, Petit Verdot ripens a week or two later than Shiraz. It consists of a vibrant brick-red colour, a fragrant nose of spice and violets, and soft ripe tannins culminated with a clean finish.

Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Fermentation on Red Mountain Cabernet Crushed Grapes and a two-stage Hungarian oak process delivers body, aromatics and flavours that combine a hint of organge with a big, chewy mouth-feel.

Tempranillo Cabernet
Tempranillo has long been the most noteworthy Red wine grape in Spain; it is generally regarded as being Spain's only "Noble" Grape. Today, in the nature of "Super Tuscan" wines, Tempranillo blended with Cabernet Sauvignon creates a powerful wine with a deeper colour and more defined structure. Plum, cherry, currant, spice and black pepper flavours are blended with floral leather and red fruit aromatics result in a smoth, modern style of wine.

South African Shiraz
Stellenbosch Shiraz may best be described as having Rhone-style backbone, but with heady New-World, up-front fruit. The wine has heightened layers of blackberry, boysenberry, fig and plum, followed by notes of cocoa, chocolate and coffee.

Two Latitudes Merlot
Napa Merlot is noted for its black cherry flavours with cherry blossom and rose petal aromas, while Walla Walla Merlot shows cherry notes, but is more Bordeauz-like with earthy spice, soya-like savor and hints of mint and cedar. Together, these two juices are married in our Two Latitudes Merlot.
