RQ25’s Australia Shiraz Cabernet Malbec embodies the essence of boldness and expressiveness, akin to the electrifying riffs of Rock Music.  Like the crescendo of a guitar solo, its rich, full-bodied and complex profile unfolds with each layer revealing a new dimension of powerful depth.  Revel in the soul-stirring arrangements of classic rock, where every intense note resonates with passion and every sip leaves a layered impression, lingering long after the final chord.

Tasting Notes: Boasting a deep, rich colour, this blended red wine exudes aromas of ripe berries mingled with delicate hints of toasty oak and cedar.  On the palate, it explodes with the essence of luscious dark fruits.  Undertones of black pepper and smoky nuances further enrich its aromatic profile, lending depth and complexity to every sip.

French Merlot

THE REGION

The Languedoc has a long history of winemaking that dates back to Roman times. It is located in southern France and is one of the largest wine regions in the world. This sunny region is situated along the French Mediterranean coast. The vineyards benefit from the Mediterranean climate with many hours of warm sunshine, cool nights from the sea breezes and minimal rainfall. They are known for their plentiful land with soil ranging from limestone to rocky sand and thick clay, making it an ideal place to grow premium grapes. It is home to the relatively new and exciting grape varietal Marselan that is a cross between Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon.

THE WINE

This luscious French blend of Marselan and Merlot showcases the best of both varietals. The Marselan brings structure and complexity while the Merlot adds elegance and grace. Experience a symphony of juicy cherry, hints of plum and dark blackberry all balanced by subtle notes of vanilla and spice.  The tannins are velvety yet structured providing a smooth, rich mouthfeel. This wine embodies the Mediterranean terroir taking you on a journey through Southern France with every sip.

MAIPO, CHILE

Referred to as the ‘Bordeaux of South America’, Maipo is known for producing prestigious wines. The mild Mediterranean climate sees little rainfall, but controlled drip irrigation and fertile clay-based soils work to produce rich red wines. The region’s Cab Sauv is celebrated for being especially rich and fruity.

The fan-favorite wine is back !

Welcome to an exclusive wine adventure

We wanted to develop a new super premium wine–something that went above & beyond and challenged our current best. The goal was to create a true trophy wine–supreme quality, small lot, ultra-exclusive. We gave our winemakers and product development team carte blanche and one simple direction–make the best red wine we possibly can, regardless of price. We researched premium ingredients, new oaking options, new formulas, new ratios; after months of trials looking at a number of variables, we landed on a clear winner and a new super premium craft winemaking kit that stood apart from the rest of the Winexpert portfolio. A revered varietal from a prestigious region, and an innovative craft wine kit that broke the mold: a 10 L craft wine kit that makes just 11.5 L of finished wine, uses a new oak format, and delivers a super premium quality wine without the use of grape skins

Introducing our Limited-Release Carmenere Ripasso

We are delighted to present our handcrafted Carménère Ripasso, a wine that embodies the passion and dedication of our small-batch winemaking process. 

This is an exclusive release, with only a small quantity available. Each batch reflects the care and attention poured into crafting this exceptional wine.


Due to its limited availability, we invite you to secure your batch today.

Carménère is a rich, full-bodied red wine known for its deep, dark color and velvety texture. It originates from Bordeaux, France, but is now most famously grown in Chile, where it thrives in the warm climate and fertile soils. Here’s a breakdown of its characteristics:

Aroma and Flavor Profile:

  • Nose: Carménère typically offers inviting aromas of dark fruits like black cherry, plum, and blackberry, often accompanied by herbal notes such as green pepper, bay leaf, and blackcurrant leaf.
  • Palate: The flavors are bold and layered, with ripe black fruit dominating, along with hints of cocoa, coffee, and black pepper. The herbal undertones add complexity, making it stand out from other red wines.

Acidity and Tannins:

  • The wine has moderate acidity and soft, rounded tannins, making it approachable and easy to drink.

Food Pairing:

  • Carménère pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and dishes with earthy or smoky flavors. It also complements mildly spiced cuisines, such as Mexican or Indian dishes.

Color and Texture:

  • The color is a deep ruby red, sometimes with a purplish hue. It has a smooth and supple mouthfeel, leaving a lingering, pleasant finish.

Aging Potential:

  • While Carménère can be enjoyed young, some bottles can benefit from a few years of aging, which enhances its complexity and smooths out the flavors.
