The Wines!

Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc $22.99

Since its inception in 1992, Mulderbosch Sauvignon blanc has consistently been held in the highest esteem by wine plaudits the world over. Having made a name for itself at the vanguard of South Africa’s exploration of this grape, its subsequent longevity, finesse and varietal expression have cemented it as a benchmark for New World Sauvignon Blanc. 

Vibrant green hues give a suggestion of the wine’s freshness and aromatic purity. The nose exudes waves of fresh green figs, with notes of grapefruit and lime citrus fruits and a delicate floral lift. With a finely poised sugar/acid balance, the palate seems almost savoury, and its mineral freshness carries through to a pleasantly persistent finish of considerable length.

 

Hope Estate Chardonnay $15.99

Hope Estate wines express the deep individuality of our land and vines. All our wines are estate grown, we never dilute our character with other people’s fruit. So we bring you uniquely regional styles of wine.

The finesse and elegance that comes from the red Hunter soil. The European-style subtlety of our Victorian vineyards. And the length and concentrated fruit that only Western Australian maritime climate vineyards can create.

 

Elouan Pinot Noir 2013 $28.99

Elouan Pinot Noir emulates the successful sourcing philosophy we introduced with Meiomi: blending the top Pinot Noir regions together for a richer, more complex style than what you could achieve by sourcing from one small area. In this instance, our grapes are grown in the great Oregon Valleys of Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue. The diversity of these cool climate areas elongates the growing season, developing intense structure, while maintaining a vibrant acidity to differentiate it from any California Pinot Noir.

 

 

Gran Passione Rosso 2013 $12.99

A rich deeply colored blend of Merlot and Corvina grown in the cool climate and perfect soil of the Vento refion in Northeast Italy.

Made to be enjoyed with grilled fish, pizza and roasted fowl, the smoothness of this wine will have you enjoying it for nearly any occasion!

 

Domaine Courteillac Bordeaux Superieur $18.99

80 % merlot, 10 % cabernet-sauvignon, 10 % cabernet franc.

 Nice ruby color, rather dense. A nice fruity flavor, with breed and presence. In the mouth the wine is round and fleshy, elegant and tasty, with a good balance. The final is firm and steady, with an elegant and light wooden taste.
