The Sangiovese and Canaiolo grown on the Isole e Olena estate cover 290 hectares in the heart of the Chianti Classico hills between Florence and Siena. The wine is matured for about a year before bottling. It is then released after 3-4 months aging in the bottle. Dark ruby in color, the Chianti Classico has a clean and fresh perfumed nose of red cherry and strawberry. It is medium bodied and boasts copious floral, minty red berry and red cherry flavors of lovely purity, with a smooth yet vibrant texture nicely firmed by an edge of acidity.

12.5% alcohol. This is from the Château de Thulon in Lantignié, which is one of the top villages with its granitic hillside vineyards, and is probably close to cru status. 50 year old vines. Nicely structured with a gravelly, grainy, spicy underpinning to the sweet raspberry and cherry fruit. It has a slightly abrupt finish, with firm tannins clamping in on the fruit, but there’s also a nice fleshiness and density here. Finishes fresh with a hint of blackcurrant, this is serious cru-level Beaujolais at a good price. 91/100 Jamie Goode

These historic vineyards formed part of the original farm Constantia, whose legendary wines were sought-after by the 18th and 19th Century European aristocracy, requested by Napoleon, and praised by Dickens and Jane Austen. Lying in this fertile valley on a narrow Cape Peninsula, our vineyards are favoured by a cool and gentle maritime climate, creating near-perfect conditions for premium wine growing. harvested at optimal ripeness, this estate blend showcases Klein Constantia red wine at its best !

100% Shiraz that is organic and Biodynamically grown, that displays lifted berry fruits and classic Hunter spice aromas intergrated well by savoury oak. It really is a Quaffstar!
