Club Wines - December 2016

DELUXE CASE

Pairs With

Lobster Bisque, Seafood Paella, Sushi or any mildly spicy dish.

Miles Mossop Saskia

This is a blended dry white wine comprised of 65% Chenin blanc, 17% Viognier. 9% Verdehlo and 9% Clairette Blanche.

This wine has a stunning light golden hue. The nose is packed with complex aromas of ripe yellow and stone fruits. There are intense floral nectar notes with a hint of marzipan and toasted brioche. The palate is full, rich and complex with flavours that mirror the aromas on the nose. The entry on the palate is rich, the mid-palate is full and the finish is dry, textured and lingering

Pairs With

Mild creamy curries or spicy south-east Asian curries. 

The Foundry Viognier

Pale in colour, clear and bright with a pronounced greenish hue. The nose is exotic with expressive apricot, spring blossom and creamy citrus nose, but remains elegant and perfumed. These flavours follow through onto the palate which is dense with ripe crushed fresh fruit, succulent juiciness and finishes with a mineral steeliness which makes this wine ideal with food.There is a line of natural acidity running through the wine maintaining freshness and focus.

Pairs With

Delicate Fish & Goats Cheese

Newton Johnson Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc 97%; Semillon 7%

Opulent and attractive fruit sweetness. Pink grapefruit and tangy kumquat are tailed with sprightly notes of citrus blossoms, white pepper, and crushed stones. Compact and sleek texture with a little mealiness in the fruit tannin gripping the palate to the finish.

Pairs With

Beef or Lamb

Anwilka

67% Syrah 31% Cabernet Sauvignon 2% Petit Verdot

Enticing aromas of oak spice and violets precede vivid redcurrant and damson flavours, framed by supple tannins, and carried by a fine thread of acidity to a pleasingly long, fresh and complex finish.

Pairs With

Rack of Lamb, Mushroom Risotto or Rump Steak

Flagstone Music Room Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep, dense purple colour. On the nose summer fruits, cassis, fennel, mint, dark, bitter chocolate and the faintest hint of basil - all wrapped up in serious, warm toasty oak. The palate is all about chunky, chewy, magically integrated tannin. This rewarding mouth-feel is complemented by concentrated flavours of youngberry, cassis, blueberry, wild mint and chocolate. A block-buster Cabernet that will live easily for 20 years from bottling if stored correctly.

Pairs With

Hard cheeses.

Annandale CVP 

Perfect winter warmer.  Dark ruby colour, deep spicy aromas of ripe plums & blackberries.  Flavours of raisins & dark cherries.  Smooth aftertaste, velvet fruit finish that lingers.  Can even be served chilled.

CLASSIC CASE

Pairs With

Waldorf salad, grilled seafood and sushi, or simply on its own.

Kanu Chenin Blanc

Sun ripened straw in colour. A compelling nose of winter melons, floral gardens and savoury notes. Warm honey-spiced fruit further compliments the nose. The palate is characterised by tropical fruits, floral notes and spice from late harvested grapes. A lively acidity balances the fruit, resulting in a crisp finish.

The grapes were hand picked from low yielding bush vines, averaging 31 years for the Chenin Blanc.

Pairs With

Fish dishes, chicken dishes, goats cheese salad, pork, veal, Asian influenced chicken and fish dishes and roast duck.

Foundation Stone White Blend

46% Chenin blanc - 21% Grenache blanc - 23% Rousanne – 6% Nouvelle - 4%Viognier

All 5 varietals contribute to this complete and well-balanced wine. Elegant with spring blossoms, restrained peach, mango and stone fruit on the nose. Subtle hints of oak spice and a refined fruit expression. A rich and well-structured wine that finishes with elegance and freshness on the palate. Will benefit from some ageing.

Pairs With

Grilled Fish, Chicken or Prawns

Barton Sauvignon Blanc

Silky smooth and medium-bodied with green apple and white pear on the nose. Balanced and well-structured with tropical fruit and hints of apricot,pineapple and honey on the palate which linger on the after taste.

Niel Joubert Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep,dark, almost opaque with grainy, purple edge. Rich, ripe berry fruit nose with hints of forest floor, char and touch of dark chocolate. Big, full, well rounded mouth with layers of flavour including plum, mulberry and fruit cake. Soft, supple tannins yet goos grip. Long, fruit filled finish. Good drinking now yet will develop over a few years in the bottle.

Blue cheese, venison pie and chocolate. Serve well chilled.
