Australian Shiraz
Australia’s route to fame on the world wine stage, Shiraz from Down Under
offers lush berry
aromas that beg for a hearty whiff. A wine of ripe fullness, its concentrated
blackberry fruits
and fragrant spiciness are a delight on the tongue. It has the uncanny quality
of allowing early
consumption despite its complexity and ‘bigness’. Robust and lively,
Australian Shiraz is a
savoury treat.( 0 - Oak Chips )
California
Zinfandel Shiraz
A deep flavourful red wine with notes of raspberry, black cherries, figs, dark
chocolate and a
jamminess that finishes with a peppery spice.( 0 - Oak Chips )
Chilean
Malbec
The hot dry climate allows the grapes to reach excellent ripeness, and lush
fruity characters,
making an intense, black wine. A thick-skinned grape full of colour, tannin
and flavour, Malbec
makes wines of great power and character, with blackberry, plums, tar, red pepper,
sweet
cherry, spice, licorice and deep bittersweet notes, almost like unsweetened
chocolate, or espresso.

great addition
to our Passport Series. This reputable Merlot is a soft and supple variation
with powerful fruit
and spicy flavours. Renowned for its ripe cherry character, the Merlot is a
perfect partner for
red meats, lamb, and hearty stews. A must have on those crisp autumn evenings.(

French Cabernet
Sauvignon
All the classic associations with this well-known grape variety used in France’s
brilliant red
wine blends are here in this Cabernet brought in directly from France: rich,
intense aromas,
deep berry fruits, healthy tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. With the
proper tannin
astringency and premium French oak evident throughout, this is an elegant wine
offering
body and complexity when aged.( 0 - Oak Chips )
Italian
Sangiovese
The lively fruit and good acidity make it one of the most food-friendly of all
reds, pairing
well with pasta, veal Parmigiana, intensely flavoured cheeses, and fruits like
cherries, figs,
plums and raspberries.( 0 - Oak Chips )
White Wines
Australian Chardonnay
Supple and slightly buttery, this wine lingers on the palate with layers of
toast and spice.
Extremely versatile with foods, this is the ‘red wine’ of white
wines, combining beautifully
with grilled pork, chicken, fish, salads and cream-based pasta sauces.( 0 -

Australian
Riverland Reserve
A stunningly unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Colombard and Muscat varieties

lively combination of rich ripe fruits, complimentary acidity, and a full body,
making this
delicious white wine a ‘must-try’.( 0 )

Sauvignon Blanc
Steely, grassy, herbaceous – the classic traits of palate-cleansing Sauvignon
Blanc are here in this
version sourced directly from the French countryside. Crisp and dry, this refreshing
wine is a
fabulous match with food, as its full, fresh flavours and wonderfully balanced
acidity make it
essential with chicken, fish and grilled vegetables.( 0 )
German Muller Thurgau
Müller-Thurgau (Moo-lehr Tirr-gow) Delicious flavours apricot, green apple
and peach aromas
of Riesling, and the early ripening qualities of Silvaner.A great sipping wine,
it’s a perfect choice
for potato chips (there’s nothing like a crisp glass of Müller-Thurgau
and some crunchy chips!)
but mostly it’s a very satisfying wine to quench a thirst in good company

The Italians have their own way with the Pinot Gris grape variety, and in the
process they create
a special magic with it that’s unmatched elsewhere in the wine world.
Though dry in character and
with a pleasant zip of acidity, this Pinot Grigio shows off a pleasant floral
fragrance and tremendous
fruit flavours, making it the perfect picnic accompaniment.( 0 )
Italian Trebbiano
This light, almost pale in colour, crispy white wine offers citrusy notes and
a clean, fruit with
almond-like finish. Excellent with appetizers such as shrimp cocktail or lightly
flavoured pastas.( 0 )
