What's this about?

The fastest way for us to help you find the wines you'll love (and avoid the wines you won't ) is for you to spend 30 seconds to tell us about your wine tastes. We use these answers, together with your wine ratings to build a detailed profile of your personal tastes. We match your taste profile to our wines taste profile to find the wines that match. Even if it's a grape you don't know, from a place you don't know, made by a person you have never heard of. For example, if you tell us that you like Rioja, we have an Argentinean Malbec that you will adore. And a Spanish Grenache that will blow your socks off.

New Zealand Sauvignons and other fruity, refreshingly zingy whites?

Didnt taste like red wine more like balckberry wine. <br /> <br />It was so bad I only drunk 1 glass and threw the rest of the bottle away. Theres a first for everything I suppose. <br /> <br />Don't buy this.

"My greatest pleasure has been to start Arabella, my winery, from scratch in 2006. With the help of my children, Nicky & Jamie, it's turned in to a real family business where everyone is completely dedicated. My family owned a wine farm when I was growing up, and at the age of 17 my mother put me to work in the cellar. I absolutely loved. So winemaking was something I knew I wanted to do from a young age. I love the creativity involved with being a winemaker. Every step taken, from vineyard to bottling, will effect the outcome of the wine. It's vital to have a very clear idea of what the outcome should be and the steps needed in the process to achieve the desired result."
