Calabria Estate Shiraz Viognier 2006 - £8.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
Forever on the look-out for ways to improve their already superb and widely appreciated Shiraz wines, top Aussie winemakers like Bill Calabria have taken a leaf out of the northern Rhone wine recipe book and tried adding a drop of Viognier. Now adding white wine to red might seem an odd idea on the surface but in the world's greatest examples of Syrah - Cote Rotie and the like - it's been the norm for a century or more. What Viognier brings - and we're talking about no more than 5% here - is a more open, attractive, floral bouquet to an otherwise tightly furled wine. In the case of Calabria Esate Shiraz Viognier 2006 it's a great success. Classic bramble and black pepper-scented Shiraz with a refreshing twist of burnt orange and violets. Full and rounded in the mouth with smooth tannins padded by rich, ripe fruit flavours.

Calabria Estate Viognier 2007 - £8.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
Bill Calabria's take on pure, hedonistic Viognier - the grape famous for the #20-a-bottle, finest whites of the Rhone. Bill's grapes come from a favoured slope, are night-harvested and ever-so-carefully handled to capture the full array of apricot and peach flavours, enhanced by gentle barrel-ageing. ''Dazzling with a fragrant aroma of apricot, orange blossom and musk. Rich, fruity sweet peach and spice flavours with a citrus twist. Delicious with Asian cuisine, tempura and chicken salad.''

Calabria Saint Macaire Oak Aged 2006 - £8.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
Bill Calabria's fantastic Saint Macaire - a huge red from a long-lost Bordeaux grape variety - is fast becoming a cult classic. This knockout grape variety was named after a charming French village not far from Bordeaux. Years ago it was grown aplenty but they might as well call the village St. Merlot these days because there's no St. Macaire planted anymore. All the village's vineyards are now filled with more recognisable Merlot and Cabernet. It seems all the Saint Macaire has gone to Bill's estate - where his magic touch has crafted a rich, mouthfilling red from the gnarled sixty year-old vines. ''Intense dark red with ripe blackcurrant aromas. Rich blackberry, plum and toasty oak flavours are supported by supple tannins. Delicious with roasted lamb with fresh herbs, and vintage cheeses.''

Westend Estate The Boxer Oak Aged Durif 2007 - £8.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
The previous three vintages of Bill Calabria's mighty Durif have won 16 awards (including 4 Golds). Lots more expected for this rich, dark new release - thanks to a super-ripe 2007 vintage! Durif is normally used as a ''turbocharge'' to add inky-black, full-flavoured fruit to lesser wines. Though increasingly popular, pure Durifs are still rare. The grape that ''takes no prisoners'' (The Observer) needs a master to tame it ... and what a master Bill is! Inky-dark in colour, with aromas of blackberry, liquorice and spice. Astonishingly smooth, with BIG flavours of ripe black cherries, chocolate and soft oak that linger on and on and on ... great with rich, meaty casseroles and rare steaks.

Velvety-smooth, with BIG flavours of ripe black cherries, chocolate and toasty vanilla oak. Great with rich, meaty casseroles and rare steaks.
