In Situ Reserva Carmenere 2015

Aconcagua Valley, Chile

Juicy, rich and round Chilean red wine made from the country's iconic Carmenere grape. Produced by San Esteban, this robust Chilean red wine comes from the winery's Winemakers Selection. It offers aromas of cassis and cedar with full-bodied richness. This wine is named after the river that divides it in half. The region of Aconcagua in Chile is extremely warm and dry, ideal for ripening rich, full-bodied red wines. It's supple and layered on the palate, like liquid velvet. I'd drink this wine with hearty meat dishes.

Kim Crawford Pansy! Rosé 2016 

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New Zealand

Don't let the brilliant strawberry hue of this rosé fool you: this wine is bone dry and bursting with refreshment. Aromas of tiny flavour-packed field berries and a lick of orange zest on the finish. Perfect as a chilled aperitif or pair it with seafood, shellfish, salads and more rosé, of course. This wine has also been bottled in rounded shoulder bottle (like those for Cabernet) with the label name Pansy! Highly recommended.
