Speargrass Shiraz - £37.74
Price on from Laithwaites.
Shiraz was, for many years, Australia's most widely planted red grape and rather like Tempranillo in Spain, it's used for making everyday wines right through to the country's finest and most expensive. Shiraz's most iconic incarnation is the legendary, #100-plus 'Grange'. Speargrass is not quite in the same league but it is a very good quality wine nonetheless with authentic Shiraz characteristics. It's made at the state-of-the-art Buronga Hill winery where up until recently the Chief winemaker was Kim Hart. Her 20 years in wine have included a long spell at Margaret River's prestigious Alkoomi estate and vintages at Chateau Palmer in Margaux. There's little wonder Speargrass is such a stylish, widely appealing wine. ''Peppery plumy aromas lead to ripe blackcurrants and dark chocolate richness followed by a satisfying and lengthy finish. It's a satin-smooth partner for roast beef, wild boar sausages or mature farmhouse cheeses.''

Chateau Corbin 2005 - £29.00
Price on from Laithwaites.
Steeped in heritage, Chateau Corbin is one of the oldest estates in St Emilion. Some parts of the property date back to the fifteenth century and according to legend, Corbin was the focal point of the stronghold that belonged to the Black Prince. Today, Chateau Corbin is the only estate in St. Emilion that's owned solely by women, and with a female winemaker. Anabelle Cruse Bardinet's great-grandparents bought the estate in 1924 and ever since she took it over in 1999 - the winery has been going from strength to strength! Wine Spectator suggest that 2005 was the ''best ever'' vintage from this estate ... and we can certainly see why! Robert Parker awarded the wine an incredible 90-point score, describing it as ''open-knit, broad, savoury St.-Emilion possessing abundant notes of sweet cherries, blackcurrants, roasted herbs, spice, and vanilla in its medium to full-bodied, lush personality.'' Final bottles - so hurry!

Harman's Road Cabernet Sauvignon - £59.94
Price on from Laithwaites.
From one of the greatest names in the heartland of the Margaret River region comes this stunning Cabernet. Although many won't have heard of Harman's Road before, the wine that is inside the bottle comes from a very famous source. After a hush-hush tip-off from our winemaking friends in Australia, we came to the aid of a premium, multi-gold medal winning winery that was facing cash flow problems. We agreed not to name the winery and they agreed to let us have the wine at over 40% less than it would 'normally' go for. And what a wine! Only the purest fruit and finest oak barrels are used, creating its dense, ripe berry and subtle creamy vanilla flavour. The flagship wines from this producer goes for as much as #30 a bottle... and in our opinion, this wine under its own branding wouldn't go for much less ''Vibrant purple with scents of smoky blackberry, dried herbs and blackcurrants with a cool climate elegance of rich, pure-tasting black fruits. Classic Cabernet and perfect for special occasions.''
