BIN 104 – March Value Case of the Month  

NV Monte Rodrigo

Spain

Tempranillo

This every day quaffer is made from the Tempranillo grape.

 Light bodied but with strong dark fruit such as black berry

and dark cherries on the nose and palate.

It’s bold and dry with slight tannins coating the tongue adding complexity, with a

raspberry finish. Very good value here!

NV Vidigal Julia Florista Red

Portugal

 Named after the famed flower girl of Fado,

this red is an elegant rendition highlighting vanilla,

bright red plum, nuts and hint of blood orange.

Truly a soft and easy-drinking charmer

that is ideal for a variety of dishes from burgers to rare beef.

2019 Boshendal Lanoy

South Africa

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

Produced in true Bordeaux fashion, this wine has ripe tannins which impart good drinkability and the ability to pair with a multitude of dishes. The nose is filled with bright mulberry and blackcurrant with riper plum notes and classic tobacco spiciness. As it moves to the palete, an attractive burst of rich dark to black fruits showing mulberry, blackcurrant, ripe plum and spice aromas carry through to a smooth, juicy entry supported by ripe tannins and just discernible cigar box spiciness. Well integrated and smooth, with a lingering rich finish of dark berry fruits.  FOOD PAIRINGS: Beef, Lamb, Game (deer, venison), Poultry, Veal, Cured Meat

2020 La Playa Carmenere

Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Chile

 Velvety light purple colour.  On the nose, ripe blueberries with a hint of fine smoke. 

It has good ripe fruit presence with rounded tannins.

2019 Cassone La Florencia Merlot

Mendoza, Argentina

 Deep dark red colour with violet highlights.

Intense nose with touches of berries and tobacco.

It tastes elegant with black fruits and ripe tannins.

2019 Bleasdale Second Innings Malbec

Barossa Valley, South Australia

Malbec is rarely seen as a varietal wine in Australia but here at Bleasdale and in Langhorne Creek

it stands on its own two feet and performs well enough to earn its stripes.

This wine shows vibrant primary fruit flavours of plums, red berries and pepper spice.

A plush, juicy red with velvety smooth tannins.

2020 Saveurs Du Temps Rouge

France

 A label from the Vignerons Propriétés Associés cooperative, this blend of syrah and grenache (80/20)

 wins on its bright, clean, precise flavours. There’s no oak to get in the way of syrah’s

violet scents and black-pepper spice, or to mask the cherry-juicy tang of the grenache.

The clarity allows the wine to sing, vibrant and pure.

2020 Zestos White

Spain

Grape Variety: Malvar

This full-bodied, fresh, crisp white wine will turn your head with its assertive stone fruit,

white peach and fresh apricot aromas and fresh, easy drinking character. 

This dry white has a small note of alluring sweetness.

Zestos Blanco will pair excellently with sushi, chicken kabobs, chicken burritos

and just about any fresh shellfish or seafood you can think of, especially swordfish, sea bass and monkfish. 

This is also a perfect white to enjoy with hors d’oeuvres or by itself.

2021 Cusomano Nero D’Avola,  IGT
Sicilia, Italy

An ancient grape variety indigenous to Sicily in Italy.
Red and black fruits with fragrant anise and meat. Intensity and balance on the palate.

Good body, soft tannins and a nice, smooth finish.

2021 Coudoulet Pinot Gris

France

 A bright pale-yellow colour. A floral and well-balanced nose.

This Pinot Gris has notes of dried apricot and white flowers supported by a beautiful acidity.

A saline finish shows off its freshness.

Food & wine pairings – Tasting tips

The liveliness of this Southern Pinot Gris pairs harmoniously with oysters,

ceviche or fish and chips. As a main course,

we enjoy it with mushroom risotto, haddock curry and falafel.

2019 Greedy Bird Cabernet Sauvignon

South Eastern Australia

 Ever watchful, the Greedy Bird knows the perfect time to steal the ripest fruit from the vine.

So the race is on to get in first and taste from the sweetest bunch. 

A fresh & straight-forward Australian Cabernet Sauvignon full of ripe dark berry fruit,

Red plum with notes of spice, vanilla and mocha.
