Heartland Stickleback Red
$18.99
Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Dolcetto are blended together to create a bright yet full-bodied wine that is perfect for everyday occasions. Each variety is individually fermented on the skins for 5 days before it is pressed to enhance the aromatics while softening the naturally present tannins. Maturation in 2–3-year-old oak barrels rounds out the rich and savoury character of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Dolcetto and a splash of Lagrein add spiciness and vibrant tannins that complete the wine. Perfect for your Sunday night roast dinners, grilled dishes, cured meats, and aged cheeses.

KJ Wines Arbalest Bordeaux
$39.99
A Merlot-based Bordeaux blend from renowned wine broker Kimberly Jones, a woman that some call "the queen of Napa wines." Yeah, Napa. Here, though, she's stretched her boundaries to make a Merlot-driven Bordeaux, working with Arbalest winemaker Benoit Touquette, who has worked at a handful of Bordeaux wineries including Chateau La Louviere and Chateau Couhins-Lurton. An awesome price and limited availability! Well-balanced, with red berry fruit, silky tannins and fine minerality. 1% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot
Don't miss it! A Kensington Wine Market exclusive.
KJ Wines Operation Dragoon
$34.99
Made by the famous CDR winemaker, Pierre Gaillard, Operation Dragoon (made in honour of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Southern France in August 1944, which liberated the area from Marseille to Dijon in just 4 weeks) is a blend of 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah. What to expect? Fresh wild strawberries and herbs de Provence with a hint of smoked meat and lavender on the finish. Fine tannins and bright acid. A very clean expression of the Rhone Valley.
Every bottle of Pierre Gaillard's wine is a thrilling, bristling expression of the site from where it came. There is no dead weight in the Gaillard cellar and each wine offers precision and purity of fruit. The quality of fruit he harvests, allied to his fine touch in the cellar, results in some of the most evocative, flavorsome, and stylish Northern Rhône wines available.
Domaine des Aubuisieres Vouvray Brut
$26.99
Serious bubbles that are consistently the "best value in its appellation" - this is not just a great value, it is also a favourite of both Kensington Wine Market staff AND the staff of our next-door neighbour's Peasant Cheese!
The Chenin Blanc of Vouvray brings riper citrus and tree fruit to the bready flavours of Methode Traditionelle and racy, mineral acidity from the Loire Valley soils. A great bubbly with flavour, ripeness, and minerality - at a very approachable price. Buy a bottle and take it over to Peasant Cheese and they will be happy to recommend a cheese pairing!
Heartland Cabernet Langhorne Creek
$22.99
Rock solid Cabernet. For the money, the consumer is the winner. It's not a rock star by any stretch but all elements are just where they need to be. Blackcurrant and berry fruits and wrapped in a neat parcel of dried herbs, tomato bush and faint mintiness. A touch firmish in the mouth but the finish is long and seemingly endless. Good stuff. Drink now to eight years+ 89/100

Moss Wood Amy's Red Blend 2019
$39.99
Amy's Red Blend from Moss Wood is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
Moss Wood winemaker Ian Bell named this powerful red after his grandmother. According to the winery "This wine is made with an emphasis on fruit depth and it is our intention it be enjoyed when young, with a tannin structure that is well balanced and not too confronting. This, of course, means it can be drunk now but as with all Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Margaret River, it has the necessary attributes required for cellaring. For those with the patience and who enjoy softer and more complex older wines, we suggest a further 5 years ageing."
An Amy to admire!
