13% medium/heavy-bodied red winemaking kit (8 l | 2.1 gal)
Drawing inspiration from renowned producers such as Masi and Allegrini, this wine captures the elegance, depth, and complexity that have made Amarone one of Italy’s most celebrated wine styles. Rich and full-flavoured yet refined, it offers a long, satisfying finish that continues to evolve with age.

Grenache
13% medium/heavy-bodied red winemaking kit (8 l | 2.1 gal)
True to its Mediterranean heritage, Grenache is known for its generous fruit character, smooth texture, and approachable nature. Rich yet elegant, it offers soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, satisfying finish that makes it enjoyable both on its own and at the dinner table. Layers of ripe red fruit and savoury herbs create a wine that is expressive, versatile, and full of Old World charm.
Tasting Style: Rhône-inspired Grenache – juicy, fruit-forward, and beautifully spiced. Food Pairing: Perfect with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, Mediterranean cuisine, lamb, and herb-infused dishes.
Tempranillo
Inspired by Spain’s renowned Reserva and Gran Reserva styles, this wine offers depth, elegance, and a refined oak influence that enhances its rich fruit profile without overpowering it. Structured yet smooth, it can be enjoyed while youthful or cellared to develop additional complexity and character over time. Tempranillo’s reputation as Spain’s noble grape shines through in every glass.

Smooth, expressive, and effortlessly drinkable, it captures the essence of traditional Beaujolais winemaking.
Tasting Style: Beaujolais-inspired Gamay – vibrant, fruit-forward, and elegantly balanced with floral finesse.
Food Pairing: Perfect with roast chicken, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, pork tenderloin, or mild cheeses.
