This benefits the wine with a full bell-curve of character from fresh, stoney minerality to crisp citrus to touches of tropicals. Craggy's stylish take on this classic style, this is a no-brainer.

Syrupy-sweet and full of raisin flavour, the Pedro Ximnez grapes are literally raisined by laying on straw mats in the sun for several days. Deep, rich and complex, this is delicious with fruitcakes, chocolate desserts or even don't tell the wine snobs simply poured over ice cream.

How nice that an Italian label tells you the varietal..sometimes. Italian food has no shortage of olive oil, which gives the country a passionate love of wines with enough acidity to clean the palate. The result is that even reds from Italy are cut like an Armani suit (shoulder pads notwithstanding). Look for only moderate richness with balance, vibrancy and charming complexity.

A luscious sherry made from Moscatel (Muscat) grapes. With a deep mahogany colour and moderately rich sweetness, it also has the lovely freshness to make it a perfect match with fruit and cream desserts.

A beautifully rich dessert Muscat in the classic style of Rutherglen, Victoria. Harvested at extreme ripeness and also fortified, this wine is made to a delicious house standard from the raisiny wines of multiple vintages. Using a 'solera' system of barrels, the aged result is as complete ...

A serious Godello from one of Spain's leading producers of the variety. The special cuvee called "Lias" is sourced in one of the winery's most characteristic vineyards called A Sobeira. The rolling aspect and pebbly laom soils here produce a "mature" style of Godello that is given a richer...

A gorgeous estate bottling from a leading producer of in Spain's classic Godello region, Valdeorras. The team at A Coroa are specialists in the local varieties in this area of Atlantic Spain. Here, the moderate climate produces a wonderful style in which searing mineral precision is balanced wi...

This is the international reference point for Arneis, and a piece of history. This label was the result of Alfredo Currado of Vietti personally rescuing and reviving this once endangered, overlooked variety. It is imbued with citrus poise and almond complexity, with fragrant florals and the mineral ...

Its funny, the Italians dont endlessly sniff and obsess about wine, they just drink them with their dinner. But give most of us a top Italian red and we won't be able to take our nose out of the glass long enough to eat. Serious Italian reds like these have a gracefulness and effortless complex...

If you want deep, dark reds, then you may want to centre your attention where wed all rather be: Southern France. Here the dry, hot climate makes reds that are every bit as rich as the best of Spain, though with a typically French kind of sophistication. So for your cultural edification, here are three serious but also generous examples of the best in Southern French and Rhone red wine.

A rich and satisfying Primitivo (or Zinfandel as its more commonly know outside of Italy) from the classic territory of Puglia, Italy. This warm region produces a succulent style of red, with reasonable body and darkish fruit but an easy-going nature that suits anything from stews to barbeques and a...

Juicy and satisfying, this is a new red import from the warm 'heel' of Italy. Puglia's distinctive local grape Negroamaro brings us an effortless red that is medium-bodied, with nice darkish fruit and subtle savoury undertones. From a sun-soaked climate, this perfectly balanced wine is versatile and fantastic value. Drink now with grilled red and white meats.

A fresh and richly fruited Montepulciano from a quality traditional producer, who now uses organic methods. Cornacchia's vineyard soils are stony and calcerous, which makes them well-drained in addition to the aromatic brightness added by the presence of lime. With an altitude of 240 metres, th...

The legendary and self-titled label of this top-notch Tuscan estate. Like their other wines, the red simply named Montevertine and designated a mere Rosso di Toscana is not made in a super-Tuscan style but is instead a premium expression of the classic Chianti blend, where Sangiovese is accompanied ...

One of the great names of Montalcino. Canalicchio di Sopra create some of the most profound wines of this region, with serious structure and tannins set against a compellingly bright and nuanced expression of red fruits and spice. Typical and yet so much better than many of its competitors, this is truly a premium choice in Brunello.

A premium wine from the famed vineyards of La Clape in Southern France. This is Bertrand's Grand Vin from the L'Hospitalet estate, situated on the La Clape massif, 100m above the Mediterranean. Here ideal conditions for viticulture have produced a rich and ripe, structured Syrah / Mouvedre...

Dry with a mahogany colour and penetrating nutty, smoky aromas this one aged for 12 years in American oak casks through the traditional solera method. Complex and amazing flavours that makes a serious match with rich and fatty foods in a complementary spectrum of dried fruits and/or savoury or meaty flavours.

A superb Tawny from a leading Port house. Dow's Tawny is a very fine and delicate style, with pretty red fruits balanced by nutty depth derived from an average of three years aging in small oak casks. Owned by the historic and also very modern Symington family stable of Ports, the Dow's has both pedigree and sheer quality on its side.

A super-value Syrah that regularly scores points and awards that are well above its price. Delicious fruit ripeness from the Gimblett Gravels produces a Syrah of deep flavour with classical aromatics of berries, pepper and aniseed. A very complete wine that is also charming and effortless, the Chatterer Syrah is delicious. Grab it before it goes

The super-value baby brother from Astrolabe, this delicious Pinot Noir offers bright cherry fruit and a spicy-savoury nature. It's already drinking beautifully, which for only $20 something makes it a unique opportunity. A perfect food and barbeque Pinot Noir, and wine that most other wine labels would sell this happily at the $30 price point. Try it!

The name says it all. This Chardonnay is fat and sassy, old-school style. As the legendary ex-head winemaker at Sacred Hill, Tony Bish is an acknowledged Chardonnay guru. Expert barrel and lees work make this is a gorgeously sappy, creamy and nicely oaked Kiwi Chardonnay for anytime enjoyment. Sport...

An elegant and nearly dry Pinot Gris from Marlborough masters, Astrolabe. Fresh apple and pear fruit are beautifully crisp and with a nice mineral zing, offering a harmony that is stridently juicy and refreshing. Beautifully balanced, and a hallmark of Astrolabe's classy style.

A gorgeous Marlborough Riesling in the sweeter German style. Astrolabe winemaker Simon Waghorn is an expert in white varietals and a lover of German "Spatlese" style. This superb fruit came from the family's own home vineyard, half of which was hand harvested and pressed in whole bunches. Only ...

An exceptional Port that Wine Spectator called "simply stunning" and "top Port of the Vintage". This is a rare opportunity to buy a vintage Port that has entered its best drinking years. However, with this level of sheer depth and quality there is remarkable difficulty for critics in assessing its d...

A superb Tawny that has been aged a staggering 20 years (average) in barrel before release. Despite the huge complexity and roundness provided by this time in wood, the Grahams 20 year is noted for an exception depth and vibrancy of fruit that is very much alive. Ready to make a delicious impression on any palate, this deeply serious Tawny will also age a while longer in cellar.

A softly rich and yet classy LBV from Graham's. Here, wine from some of their finest fruit is aged in barrel a few more years than the vintage bottling, thus giving the LBV a succulent kind of depth and dimension. A little while gaining oxygen in oak also gives it a softer and more rounded flav...

This superb LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) Port drinks rather like a 15 year old Vintage For a little more money than basic Tawny, Late Bottled Vintage is a far more concentrated and serious fruit selection, with Vintage-level fruit given extra years pre-aging in oak for rounded, ready flavours. Dow...

An incredible-quality Valpolicella red. 30% of the grapes have been air-dried in the Roman method to concentrate the flavours, a mini Amarone except this fruit is selected and dried specially for this. None of their Amarone is made from these vines, so all their quality juice flows straight into thi...

A superb Tawny from a leading Port house. Dow's Tawny is a very fine and delicate style, with pretty red fruits balanced by nutty depth derived from an average of three years aging in small oak casks. Owned by the historic and also very modern Symington family stable of Ports, the Dow's has both pedigree and sheer quality on its side.

A refreshing red from the cooler climes of Friuli, Northern Italy. The folks at I Clivi love their ancient local varieties, and the 50 year old vines that supply this delicious Schippettino (pronounced Ski-or-pe-teen-or) grow on a south-east facing slope of maritime marl in the village of Prepotto, ...

A generous and classy red from Portugal. This blend of local varieties is drinking now and full of character. Dark fruits are delivered with herbal notes and earthy spices that give lift and charm. With Prats and Symington's supply of quality fruit, the flavours are layered and distinctive. A proper example of Portuguese red, perfect for BBQs or red meat dinners.

Serious Portuguese quality, this organic red from the Symington Port house is a combination of ancient styles and ultra-modern quality. Vibrant, spicy dark fruits and fine structure are the product of the Douro Valleys superb conditions, which can produce high quality at reasonably volume (and under-valued prices). Drinking well on release, it is perfect for rich dinners and barbeques.

A nice discounted red from the portfolio of the Symingtons, who are known for famous ports such as Grahams and Dows. Over half the Douro makes dry red wines, and this delicious example comes from the steep terraces along the side of that harsh River Valley. Low yields and old vines produce wines of ...

Felsina's premium Fontalloro is 100% Tuscan Sangiovese. But is labelled a 'Super Tuscan' simply because some of the old vines are outside the Classico zone (Fontalloro or Poggio al Sole are within, but Casalino and Arcidossino are in Chianti Colli Senesi). A deliciously elegant yet pl...

Only produced in the best years, 'Asinone' is the top expression from Poliziano. Very limited production results in real refinement and potential, concentration and subtle power. Here Montepulciano is the Tuscan town (not the grape from Abruzzo), with Vino Nobile being a top village expression of the Sangiovese grape. The Asinone is a superb red to decant or cellar.

This serious Brunello is a new arrival, made the same team from Poggio di Sotto, arguably the greatest Montalcino winery of this day and age. The San Giorgio estate was purchased in 2016, so the quality is massively on the rise, and is not yet reflected in the price. The name Ugolforte comes from a ...

An immensely serious and complete Brunello from one of the biggest names in the region. The Poggione is a classic expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino beautiful richness brings nothing clunky, just the deep unfolding of a lush and layered complexity in red fruit, salty/savoury and floral nuances, along with fine structure. A classic that in more and more limited supply.

A complete and compelling Chianti from one of the region's top producers. Fontodi offers the expressive brightness of the Classico genre but it does so with an earthbound sense of weight, savoury depth and drive on the palate. A true classic from the best source, this is an essential offering in top quality Chianti. Drink now or cellar.

This is one to "buy by the case" according to Italian expert Antonio Galloni. A wonderful wine is organically grown in Chianti's warm southernmost reach, Berardenga near Montalcino, it balances classical restraint with the style's inherent brightness and savoury charm. Medium in body, maximum in complexity and finesse. Cellar or decant this with a superb dinner.

A gorgeous Sangiovese from the Tuscan town of Montepulciano (not to be confused with wines from the Montepulciano grape used in Abruzzo).

From one of Piedmont's historic leaders, this is wonderful and supreme value to decant now or cellar.
