Merlot This grape produces a rich fruity non-astringent red wine that, because of its softness, is often blended with many of the world's finest red wines.

Nebbiolo This Barolo style wine kit produces a velvety red wine of extraordinary elegance with a hint of violets and a pungent after taste. An enormously robust wine with a good depth of colour.

Pinot Noir The famous red grape used for all red Burgundy wines. The juice is less tannic and richer textured than Cabernet Sauvignon, and therefore it matures more rapidly. Characteristics: Soft, fruity and smooth.

Rojo Tinto The Rioja valley in Spain produces excellent red wines. Rioja wines contain about a dozen different grapes and age exceptionally well.

Shiraz Super ripe, fruity and bold flavoured red wine. A delicious and satisfying New World wine with peppery undertones

Grenache Rosé This lovely Rosé from one of the worlds most widely planted grape varieties makes an ideal summer tipple.

Blush A light refreshing Chablis rosé style wine. One of the many styles of blush wines to follow in the footsteps of the Zinfandel blush.

Chardonnay Semillion This combination of two exceptional grape varieties gives a depth of complexity and character. Dry, medium oak.

Pinot Grigio A dry white wine with a pleasant zip of acidity, and a pleasant floral fragrance with tremendous flavours which make it an ideal social wine.

Sauvignon Blanc A crisp, dry white wine made from the grape of the same name. Often blended with other grapes to make wines such as White Bordeaux.
