Château Preuillac Médoc Cru Bourgeois – France
Traditional Bordeaux in the best possible way. Merlot dominates, with a side of Cabernet Sauvignon to create a full-body style with a great play between rich-black fruit and earthy notes like graphite, smoke and truffle.
Pair this wine with Brussels sprouts, kale and red meats.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay – USA
Ripe apple and pear aromas along with light pineapple, hazelnut and lightly-toasted oak flavours in the glass.
Pair this wine with roast chicken and pork tenderloin dishes.
Selaks Sauvignon Blanc – New Zealand
No wine and region go more hand-in-hand than Sauvignon Blanc and New Zealand. The Selaks Sauvignon Blanc is easy drinking, loaded with flavours and aromas of citrus, apple, gooseberry, grass and wet stone.
Pair this wine with seafood dishes, berry salads with goat cheese and grilled chicken with herbs.
Pêra Doce Red Blend – Portugal
This is a very smooth red blend from the Alentejo region in Portugal. It is medium to full-bodied and shows off lots of ripe-red fruit and notes of vanilla.
Pair this wine with grille-red meats.
Uko Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon – Argentina
The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for this wine come from 60+ year old vineyards. It’s full bodied with notes of berries, cassis, pepper, chocolate and a touch of eucalyptus. The finish is long and smooth and can be aged for another 10 years.
Pair this wine with lamb, game meats, gouda and dark chocolate.
Galante Sangiovese Appassiment – Italy
Galante uses a technique that includes the use of partially dehydrated grapes, which gives this wine more concentrated and complex flavours. You will find notes of ripe and dried fruits, vanilla, chocolate, and a little bit of balsamic. The tannins are soft and velvety in this full-bodied red.
Pair this wine with Bolognese, aged cheese and roasted-red meats.
