Red Selections
Gérard Bertrand Le Chouchou – France
A trendy light wine that is a red blend of syrah, grenache and cinsault, meant to be chilled. Light in colour and body, it can be paired with charcuterie and even your Christmas turkey!
$19/bottle incl GST
Lobetia Tempranillo – Spain
An easy drinking, medium to full-bodied wine that is perfect for pizza, pasta, chicken, pork; a “Tuesday night wine”. Red fruitiness abounds with balanced acidity and tannins, you will want to buy a few bottles.
$16/bottle incl GST
White & Sparkling Selections
Novellum Chardonnay – France
Chardonnay anyone? For those who like this international grape variety, this one hails from Languedoc- Roussillon in southern France. With ageing on Viognier lees for texture and stone fruit flavour, there is so much to love about this wine. Compare it to a Burgundian Chardonnay at a fraction of the price. Delicious!
$ 21/ bottle incl GST
Paltrinieri Solco Lambrusco Salamino – Italy
Sparkling red? Yes! And this wine is an absolute gastronomic delight! Pairs with a plethora of dishes, this wine will be a great surprise and might just be the next favourite!
$24/ bottle incl GST
Our Featured Port!
Fonseca Bin 27 Reserve Port – Portugal
Launched in 1972, Bin 27 is a Reserve Port aged for about 4 years before bottling. Vibrant, dense berry fruit on the nose and palate; plummy in style with enveloping richness and a gentle, peppery finish.
$ 23.50/ bottle incl GST

How to store your wine
Most of the wines that will be sold in Joyful Wine Club campaigns will be ready to drink now, but they can often be cellared for longer. The product information notes will recommend cellaring time if the wine can be cellared for longer than a few years. Store bottles on their side – don’t stand them up if they have a cork enclosure.
Wine also needs to be stored in a cool, dark, dry place in your house, away from any direct heat source and sunlight. Most of us do not have temperature regulated wine cellars, but storing wine on the north wall of an unfinished basement works well. A closet or wine rack are other options. By keeping your wines cool and dark during storage, you create a more stable environment for ageing your wines.
