Babo Nero d' Avola 2013
Sicily can be such a happy hunting ground for wines that combine drinkability, interest and good value. There’s three ticks here. This is savoury and minerally, but lush with dark cherries, spice, floral top notes, and maybe a few of the old cheeky black jellybeans. Love the smooth silty tannin, pitch perfect acidity, and the light spiciness to finish. It’s only just medium bodied, almost delicate for a Nero, but gee this is good drinking. So sophisticated at the price.Learn More -
Calo Rioja Tempranillo
Third vintage release of the affordable Calo tempranillo and it’s another goodun’. Value plus. It probably needs another 6-12 months in bottle but it’s bonza drinking once again. Glossy vanilla and bueberry. Soft. Has a bit of tannin to it. A bit of chew. Smoky, bacony, chicory length. Bloody good drinking. Gorgeously medium-weight and food friendly. 90 points Winefront Learn More -
Hugel Gentil 2016
$24.50 As low as: $22.00A classic, refreshing Alsatian white wine with lovely notes of lime, Asian pear, white peach and grapefruit. Perfect as an aperitif or an accompaniment to many dishes.

La Vendetta Barbera Sangiovese
A steal at the price. Importer: Fourth Wave Wine It works best as a quaffer but quality-wise it’s better than that. Beautiful fruit. Clean savouriness. Tastes of black cherries, spice, and peanut oil. Ferrous aromatics. Builds in the glass. I wouldn’t age it but I’d buy a case of this for drinking over the next year in a heartbeat. Rated : 91 Points Learn More -

Le Chat Noir Cinsault Rose
Crushed sticks kind of wine. Pale Turkish delight colour. Excellent carry through the finish. If it fleshes out the way I’d expect it will be high value drinking for the second half of next summer. 90 points Winefront Learn More

Le Chat Noir Pinot Noir
Decent, quaffable pinot noir for under $20? It's almost impossible to find but this terrific value import from the south of France manages it ... “the best French Pinot Noir outside of Burgundy” .... It's on the riper side of the pinot spectrum, certainly no shrinking violet, but no brash bogan either. The (French) girl next door with smoothness, dark cherry fruit flavours, hints of earthiness and plenty of length. It can be found on special for as low as $15 but the RRP is $19. Windso Learn More -

Le Chat Noir Sauvignon Blanc
This wine, a modern type of French sauvignon, has intense varietal personality, suggesting tropical fruits, blackcurrants, grass and minerals. It tastes forward and fruity, refreshing and clean. Ralph Kyte-Powell It’s cracking value. ... Tropical fruits and hay. Acidity gets a little stringy on the finish but it’s bright, flavoursome and different-enough to make you want to reach for more. Compelling in its category. Winefront.com.au Learn More

Les Courtilles Cotes Du Rhone
Regular Price: $19.50
Special Price: $18.00
Youthful yet gorgeous and complex on the nose displaying dark plum, blueberry, floral and spice characters. The palate is succulent and rounded with lovely fruit-richness and plenty of polished tannins. It's comforting and immensely delicious. At its best: now to 2016.

Les Trois Cote de Provence Rose
Provence creates a famously elegant, pale and dry expression of Rose due to a warm Mediterranean climate, abundant sunshine and well protected vineyards. The Les Trois Cotes de Provence Rose is a combination of Cinsault and Grenache given a very cool fermentation in stainless steel to maximise fruit expression and extended maturation on less to build complexity. Wow, fully dry Rose from Provence at (wqell) under $20.00 per bottle. Astounding drinking!< Learn More -
Madame Coco Brut NV
"It’s French, it’s bubbly, it’s under $20 and it’s a whole lot of fun. In many ways, there’s no need to say anything more. It’s musky and lemony, alive with fluffy bubbles and flavoursome enough. I know it’s a blanc de blancs but I saw some Turkish delight characters in it; though that said, I drank a bit too much of this a bit too quickly, so maybe my judgement was impaired. It’s that kind of wine. Buy." By Campbell Mattinson; The Wine Front Learn More

Mandoleto Nero d'Avola Terre Siciliane (Case Buy)
Regular Price: $15.00
Special Price: $13.50
Black jellybeans stuffed in leather pants, dark cherry, iron filings, damp earth, sweet dried herbs. Medium bodied, clean acidity, cherry and blackcurrant, light but grainy chalky tannin and pretty decent length. A little gamey, perhaps, but such a good drinking wine. Recommended unconditionally. Drink now. Learn More -
Mandoleto Pinot Grigio (Case Buy)
Regular Price: $15.00
Special Price: $13.00
a classic vintage throughout much of Europe and Veneto was no exception. The vineyards began with excellent soil moisture levels and the vines responded well to ideal spring conditions before a very warm, dry summer slowed growth and limited yields. A warm , clear Autumn provided excellent ripening but crucially cool nights ensured the retention of naturally acidity. The wines are surprisingly fresh and aromatic with excellent depth of flavour. Pale and delicate in colour with subtle citrus and floral aromas. The palate is elegant and de Learn More -
Maretti Barbera Nebbiolo (Full case buy)
Regular Price: $23.00
Special Price: $20.00
Dark brick red in colour with crimson highlights. The nose is already expressive and inviting with a complex array of fresh red fruits, dried herbs, forest undergrowth and aniseed. The palate is medium to full bodied, driven by core of supple raspberry and dark plum flavours courtesy of the Barbera. Nebbiolo adds structure and length alongside fine tannins. Enjoy in its youth with a wide range of rich Italian dishes. A 'mini' Barolo, for this price? Unbelievable ... yet true. Stock up, I have! Gavin Trott Learn More

Maretti Langhe Rosso 2015
... It really needs a couple of years at least to show itself properly. It tastes of peanut shells, dark cherries, leather, anise, chinotto, various dried herbs. It’s juicy and well balanced but stern and tannic through the finish. I wasn’t sure at first; when I came back a couple of hours later, I was certain. This is fabulous value. And, given some time, will be terrific drinking. 91+ points WInefront.com.au Learn More -
Marques de Tezona Macabeo (Superb Spanish White wine, perfect case buying)
Regular Price: $13.99
Special Price: $12.50
It’s actually added sauvignon blanc to the front label (and of course to the wine). The style of this wine is to be applauded. It’s just so dry and briny. And textural. It impresses by understatement as much as anything. Crisp and fresh, sure, with herb and brine flavours the main players. There’s a musky note to the finish, which is well sustained. Great seafood style. 90 points Winefront.com.au Learn More -
Marques de Tezona Tempranillo (Superb Spanish Red wine, perfect case buying)
Regular Price: $13.99
Special Price: $12.50
Meaty, smoky approach. Clean and savoury yet hit with good fruit too. Dry licorice. Spicy finish. Clean, unforced, tangy length. Brilliant value, all things considered. You could take this anywhere. And that, really, is the raison d’etre of this brand. 88 points WInefront.com.au Learn More

Mascareri Prosecco
A bright pale yellow colour with fine and persistent bubbles. The nose is fresh and inviting with delicate aromas of ripe yellow apple, melon and pear overlaid by hints of opulent acacia flowers and the light fragrance of leavening dough. Beautifully pure stone fruit and baked apple flavours, again very fresh, against a soft and smooth background with nicely balanced natural fruit sweetness. Learn More -

Parnasse French Cabernet Sauvignon
Likely I won’t make any new friends by saying it, but most Australian red wine under $15 is kind of gross. Well, maybe not gross, but often they try too hard: too much cheap oak, sweetness, acid adjustment, high alcohol etc. etc. all at the expense of basic drinkability.Blueberry and mixed berries, wild herbs and nuts with a little chocolate. Medium bodied, light tannin with some grainy grip , balanced acidity and a nutty faintly perfumed herbal finish. Great mid-week drinking. Balance and value. Can’t Learn More

Parnasse French Syrah
It’s medium bodied, peppery and meaty, with bramble fruit of subtle sweetness and the perfume of wild scrub herbs. Tannin is light and gently chalky, acidity is well played and the finish is pretty long and fresh. Lovely to drink. Gulp even. 90 points Winefront..com.au Learn More -
Pico Maccario Lavignone Barbera
A super versatile grape, juicy and friendly, the Pico Maccario family specializes in the Barbera variety, native to Piedmont in Northern Italy. Their years of experience makes them the perfect winery to produce such a tasty, easy-going red at such an outstanding price. Vibrant purple-red wine, light-bodied and fresh with aromas of cherry and raspberry, it finishes with the same array of fresh berries, sweet plum, delicate tannins and soft earthy notes on the palate.
