Vinoceros has acquired its first range of wines from France.

The New World wine specialist has launched the Fox Wood brand from the Languedoc region into the independent sector.

Initially the range will consist of four single varietal wines that retail at £4.99 each: Gravelstone Merlot 2006, Old Bush Vine Syrah 2006, Dawn Picked Viognier 2006 and Bruno's Block Chardonnay 2006 with a rosé blend expected to join.

Australian winemaker, Mark Goundrey, who created the wines said: They are from the world's most promising wine growing regions and are great value."
