Joe's Southern Hemisphere Heroes - Mixed

Isibonelo Cape Reserve Red - South Africa 2021

• ABV: 13% |
• Vintage: 2021 |
• Size: 75cl

Our Isibonelo range is a carefully curated collection of wines which is shaped by finding model examples of modern-day Cape classics. They are expertly blended from some of the region's most treasured vineyard sites, and it is the search for the exemplary that inspired the name ‘Isibonelo’. It translates to just that, from one of South Africa’s oldest languages, Zulu. This is a dense, blue fruit-filled, jammy red which is a perfectly assembled blend of Syrah and Malbec. It has a long finish that has lovely hints of warming spice.

Watercourse Cabernet Sauvignon - Australia 2022

• ABV: 14% |
• Vintage: 2022 |
• Size: 75cl

This cracking South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon is a well-constructed blend, crafted from highly prized vineyard sites whose winemaking approach focusses on capturing the natural fruit character of the grapes. It champions blackcurrant and bramble fruit with lifted notes of ripe, red-fleshed plums. The palate has a tonne of fruit with a subtle undertone of chocolate, complemented by darker cherry liquor notes. A great match for prime cuts of beef or a classic lasagne.

Baya Morada Malbec - Argentina 2022

• ABV: 13.5% |
• Vintage: 2022 |
• Size: 75cl

This crowd-pleasing style of juicy Malbec comes from the sought-after, high-altitude slopes of the Mendoza Valley in Argentina. Baya Morada shows deep hues of purple in the glass with ripe blueberry, strawberry compote and hints of oaky spice on the nose. It has a rich and layered mouthfeel with soft tannins and a long, harmonious finish. We recommend pairing this with grilled dishes - whether that is earthy vegetables like aubergine and mushrooms, lamb chops or a hamburger fresh off the BBQ!

Apus Pinot Noir - Chile 2022

• ABV: 13.5% |
• Vintage: 2022 |
• Size: 75cl

Apus emphasises elegance and a touch of celestial allure. Named after a constellation in the southern hemisphere, these stars overlook the vines at a crucial time. The cool of the night acts as a counterpoint to the glorious sunshine that the Valle Central is so famous for, allowing for a gradual development of complex flavours and exceptional balance. This Pinot Noir brings together delicate aromas of red berries, earthy notes, and has a silky texture, offering a refined and enjoyable drinking experience.

Cape Roller Reserve White - South Africa 2022

• ABV: 14% |
• Vintage: 2022 |
• Size: 75cl

The inspiration behind this range is one of South Africa’s most spectacular birds, the Cape Roller, brightly coloured and often seen perched atop the tallest vantage points, ready to dive at great speeds for its next feed. This is a crafty blend, built around the Cape's most popular white variety, Chenin Blanc. Layered on top of a core of lemon barley fruit, we’ve used spicy Grenache Blanc, nutty Roussanne and tropical fruit-filled Viognier to create a wine that is perfectly balanced and super food-friendly.

Apus Sauvignon Blanc - Chile 2022

• ABV: 12.5% |
• Vintage: 2022 |
• Size: 75cl

Apus emphasises elegance and a touch of celestial allure. Named after a constellation in the southern hemisphere, these stars overlook the vines at a crucial time. The cool of the night acts as a counterpoint to the glorious sunshine that the Valle Central is so famous for, allowing for a gradual development of complex flavours and exceptional balance. This Sauvignon Blanc brings together lively notes of passionfruit, lime, yellow peach, elderflower and freshly cut grass, delivering a zesty and invigorating taste.

The Bight Chardonnay Semillon - Australia 2022

• ABV: 13% |
• Vintage: 2022 |
• Size: 75cl

Just off the coast of South Australia is the Great Australian Bight, a powerful yet elegant bay of turquoise blue waters, respected and loved by anyone who lays eyes on it. It was only right that we paid homage to this great bay with this wine. Sourced from coastal vineyards benefitting from the Bight's cooling influence, this Chardonnay Semillon blend has an abundance of melon, nectarine and white peach notes, tempered by a lifting freshness. Pair alongside a chicken Caesar salad or fish and chips.
