White Wines

Chablis
The famous style of France. This juice produces a crisp dry Chablis style white wine with great flexibility, which suits many different foods.

Chablis Blush (Rosé)
One of the many styles of blush wines to follow in the footsteps of the Zinfandel Blush; light and refreshing, almost a Rosé in style.

Chardonnay
One of the world's great white wine grapes. Used in the making of many styles. When properly aged in oak, the fragrant, flavourful crisp wines derived from Chardonnay are rich and well balanced with wonderful body and finesse and a lingering after taste

Chenin Blanc
Also known as Pineau de Ia Loire, this grape produces wine with a distinctive honey and herbal character. Its tart, lively acidity is a perfect match with seafood.

Fumé Blanc
Made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape. Usually dry and smoky or grassy. Can be blended with the Semillon grape. Ideal with salads, light seafood and shellfish dishes.

Gewurztraminer
This reddish, musky-flavoured grape, widely planted in Alsace and in Germany, produces a very spicy white wine with a pronounced and sometimes heavily perfumed bouquet. The wine is generally dry, but with a slightly sweet taste.

Muscadet
Most commercial Muscadets are often soft & neutral with a touch of residual sugar. Usually the combination of fresh acidity & flinty-minerally overtones makes Muscadet an excellent everyday wine.

Pinot Grigio
From one of Italy's best-known producing areas the Pinot Gris grape creates a superb dry, floral white wine with loads of character.

Riesling
The Riesling grape originated in Germany but is now used internationally to make wine. Wines made from this grape usually exhibit good acid balance and sweetness.

Sauvignon Blanc
A good basic dry white wine made from the grape of the same name. The Sauvignon Blanc grape may be used in combination with other grapes to make wines such as the White Bordeaux of France.

White Burgundy
A full-bodied wine with robust peach and apricot flavours. Ideal for drinking anytime.

Zinfandel White
Zinfandels produced commercially are usually red or blush wine that can range in taste from sharp and full bodied to smooth with earthy qualities. White Zinfandel uses the Chenin grape - which is refreshing to the palate.


Red Wines

Barolo
An enormously robust wine that has a good depth of colour, it is made from the Nebbiolo grape. The best commercially produced Barolos are aged in oak for four to five years. The finest vintage Barolos are powerful, velvety wines of extraordinary elegance

Cabernet Merlot
A classic combination of two of the most popular red grapes. The early ageing Merlot with the robust Cabernet Sauvignon - what a delight.

Cabernet Sauvignon
A splendid grape variety used in the creation of the world's finest red wines. The full-bodied, complex wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are well balanced and intense with splendid fragrances.

Medoc
Our version of the most famous red wine district in Bordeaux, perhaps the world. Deep, full, rich - an excellent example of the style. Ageing will unveil its subtle nuances in flavour and complexity

Merlot
An early ripening and productive grape that originated in France and which is now grown widely in many areas including California and Northern Italy. The grape produces a rich fruity wine.

Shiraz
Super ripe fruity and bold flavoured wine. A delicious and satisfying New World, warm climate, "Winter Warmer".

Rioja
The Rioja valley in Spain produces excellent red wines. About a dozen different varieties of grapes go into the making of Rioja wines. All commercially produced Riojas will spend a year in fermenting tanks.

Vieux Chateau Du Roi (Chateau Neuf Style)
Our version of the famous Chateau Neuf. Full bodied, yet soft & quick to mature. A fine oak aroma makes this an ideal accompaniment to hearty red meat dishes.

Zinfandel Red
Zinfandels produced commercially are usually red or blush wine that can range in taste from sharp and full bodied to smooth with earthy qualities. White Zinfandel uses the Chenin grape - which is refreshing to the palate.
