New World

Wines from the New World are no longer a surprise, but rather a well-established reality. Their blatant fruit and their easy-going ageings have convinced many sceptics who hadn't believed the "new" wine countries were capable of producing exceptional bottles. From the United States to Australia and from South Africa to South America, new technology and the eternal search for pleasure have resulted in modern and very expressive wines, powerful and low in acidity, based on the strength of the different grape varieties.

The creaminess of the Californian Chardonnay comes through elegantly in every bottle of the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Chardonnay. With the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Seventy Six you'll discover why the Shiraz-Cabernet blend is globally one of the most famous, and the Alamos Malbec will demonstrate the merits of the varietal which is a cause for joy in Argentine vineyards. The Cabernet Sauvignon reaches another dimension in South African territory with the Chocolate Block, whilst its ancestor, the Sauvignon Blanc, radiates all its freshness from New Zealand. To finish off, a wine made from Chile's iconic variety: the Carmenère, the Queulat Gran Reserva.
