The Black Stump Durif Shiraz - £74.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
Australia's most addictive velvety red returns ... and the new 2007 vintage is guaranteed to delight more than ever! That's because the drought affected the berry size, resulting in small berries of intense flavour which pushed concentration to levels we never thought possible. This is a wine with 'wow'! The Black Stump is handcrafted by John Casella, who practises his 'dark art' behind closed doors at his family's remote estate. The wine owes its name to an Aussie expression meaning 'the back of beyond', but its remote origins has not stopped it from winning medals at prestigious competitions around the world. Its secret is dark, captivatingly smooth Durif, a rare grape (''that takes no prisoners'' The Observer), used as a 'turbocharge' to add inky-black fruit to other reds. Here, it's partnered perfectly with another big Aussie red grape, spicy Shiraz. Deep purple hue. Black, brambly Durif given a spicy, blueberry edge by dark chocolate Shiraz and sweet oak. Velvety, voluptuous, and irresistible served in large glasses with char-grilled steak or Sunday roasts.

La Chapelle de Calamiac Syrah - £67.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
Blind tastings are a level playing field, where judges can't be influenced by fancy reputations. Many top chateaux shy away from such competitions, but when we tasted La Chapelle de Calamiac from Benoit Blancheton (whose Chateauneuf won 92 Parker points!) we insisted he enter French Magazine's South of France blind tasting. Here's what the judges had to say: ''without a doubt the winner of this tasting. More complex than all the other wines''. Benoit had access to fruit from exclusive cru La Liviniere. There's a hefty premium to pay to give his wine the cru classification, so this year, he chose not to classify - passing the savings onto you! The tasting team said ''the flavours of mature red fruits such as blackcurrant and strawberries are perfectly balanced with some gentle notes of wood and vanilla''. Best with cassoulet, game pie or hard cheeses. Order now to be sure of yours!
