New World Wines
New World wines have come of age, and stand comparison with the finest European vintages.
The world's most renowned and influential wine critic, Robert Parker Jnr, has devised a points system by which he can objectively measure the quality of a wine, regardless of whether it comes from Europe or the New World.
The number of Robert Parker points achieved by a wine is regarded by many collectors and investors as crucial to their buying decision.
Our target wines have been awarded 90-100 points, making them amongst the finest in the world.
The demand for quality wine is increasing, but the supply of traditional vintages is extremely limited. The shrewd collector includes the finest New World wines in their portfolio.
