 | D'ARENBERG STH AUSTRALIA - 2006 Cadenzia
Joseph Rowe Osborn, founder of d'Arenberg and patron of the turf, bought his first McLaren Vale vineyards with the winnings of his racehorse, Footbolt, whose name lives on in Shiraz form. His grandson d'Arry and great-grandson Chester inherited the business and have built it into one of Australia's best loved wineries. The last decade has seen Chester develop a range of white wines every bit as individual and thrilling as the reds with which the company made its name. With the iconic red stripe labels and funky names d'Arenberg's wines have a loyal following, eager for more of the rich, concentrated fruit for which they are famous.

 | S C PANNELL STH AUSTRALIA- 2007 PRONTO TINTO
The 2007 Pronto tinto is different to the inaugural 2006 as it sees the inclusion of 34% old vine Barossa Valley mourvèdre. It also sees more Syrah and Touriga and the percentage of old vine Grenache drops to under 50%. It continues to be a blend of predominantly dry-grown varieties that originate from Spain and Portugal that are ideally suited to our warm, dry winegrowing regions of South Australia. This wine has a complex fragrant nose where the fruit aromas of dark cherries and raspberries do not dominate. There are hints of musk, roses, dried spices and herbs, as well as wet earth or petrichor (the term for the smell after rain). The palate is medium bodies and long with fine building tannins on the finish and no obvious oak influence. - Stephen Pannell

 | VALDIVIESO CHILE- Eclat 2007
Laid back New Zealander Brett Jackson is very much settled in Chile - although he hasn't lost his lifelong affection for the All Blacks - and much of Valdivieso's success in recent years has been down to his efforts. Based in Lontue, the company has a wealth of vineyards and the quality of the terroir is shown by the Single Vineyard wines. The whole range encapsulates everything that Chile excels at: rich, vibrant flavours and smooth, glossy textures - and the wines deserve the multitude of gongs they have picked up in recent years
