South Africa Low - yielding old ‘bush vines’ planted on the Knorhoek Farm’s vineyards of the lower slopes of the towering Simonsberg Mountain produce this ripe, tropical-fruit flavoured Chenin Blanc. S ome lees ageing and partial malolactic fermentation help to both soften and round the finish. Australia The grapes for this fresh, lemony Chardonnay are fermented and matured in stainless steel with no oak contact; the aim is to retain the fresh varietal fruit, crisp, ripe acidity and weight to p roduce a classic Chardonnay.
Spain Made entirely from Viura grapes, cool-fermented In stainless steel tanks and bottled young to preserve maximum aromas and crispness Italy A well-structured straw-gold example of this popular- variety that is very much at home on the gravelly plains to the south of the eastern ‘arm’ of the Alps.

New Zealand Selected from the Awatere and Wairau Valleys in Marlborough, New Zealand’s premier Sauvignon Blanc growing region. Cool- fermented in stainless steel.

Italy Produced solely from Vermentino, a grape very much at home in the vineyards along Italy’s north-east coast. Cool- fermented to retain as much of the grapes aromatic nature as possible, the wine is unoaked and bottled young to capture its freshness. Light, straw- yellow with gold hues, it shows floral, melon and citrus aromas backed by a refreshing dry palate. Italy Made from Cortese grapes grown in the hills in the south-east region of Piemonte. Unoaked, but aged briefly on its lees, this refreshingly dry wine shows subtle floral notes on the nose, and has a tangy, minerally palate. Alsace Dry with a refreshing palate that carries the aromas of greengage, green apple and a touch of spice and smokiness beautifully to a finish with a well-balanced richness. The grapes were grown on clay-slit soils on hills with a near perfect south- easterly aspect.
New Zealand A premium quality Chardonnay from the cool Casablanca Valley. The grapes are barrel- fermented with the natural yeasts present on the grape skins, followed b y a nine month period ‘sur lie’ on the yeast sediment. The resulting wine has great complexity a nd a wonderful rich buttery character. A fine New World Chardonnay with real individuality.

New Zealand A superb Sauvignon Blanc, from premium vineyards in the Awatere Valley which is located close to the sea. The benefit of the moderating sea breezes during the warm summer months helps produce fruit with great intensity of flavour. A wine that shows an incredible concentration of flavour on the palate.
USA This partially barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc is made using grapes sourced from the Stags Leap, Oakville and Rutherford areas. The warm yet still temperate growing conditions produce fully ripe grapes which result in a full-bodied almost creamy textured wine with pronounced a romas of jasmine and orange blossom, citrus and topical fruit such as lime and lychee, honey with subtle oak nuances of the palate.
Louis Jadot’s winemaker deliberately produces a fuller, fatter style of Cablis, more akin to some wines from the Côte d’Or. The wine is allowed to undergo a partial malolactic ferementation to soften and round the palate.Sancerre, La Grand Chatelaine de Joseph
France The top Sancerre cuvée from Joseph Mellot and a comprehensive demonstration of the quality that Sancerre can produce. Fermented and partially aged in a mix of new and seasoned oak barrels. Show incredible intensity and elegance with a complex palate that evolves in the mouth. Whilst all the typical gooseberry and grassy flavours are there, so much appears such as candied grapefruit, lime zest and hints of pineapple.

Vina Real Rioja Reserva
New Zealand Different parcels of Merlot fruit were harvested and gently de-stemmed into open-top fermenters; a small amount of Cabernet Franc is also included to the blend. After a five-day cold soak, the juices were warmed and started fermenting with natural vineyards yeasts. The cap was punched down twice per day for around a week as the fermentation progressed. After a brief settling period in tank, the new wine went to barrel for secondary fermentation and maturation for about 18 months before the parcels were blended together. Blackberry and blackcurrant fruit dominate the palate which is rich and shows notes of vanilla spice.

France The Les Theurons vineyard is made up of four parcels descending the slope above the city of Beaune, which divide the northern Premiers Crus from the southern ones; it is generally considered to be a quintessential Premier Cru, one of the dozen or so finest in the commune.

France A fresh, modern, stylish Champagne made using mainly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier plus 10% Chardonnay. The grapes are drawn from 15 crus, and there is a generous addition of reserve wines. The wine was the only Champagne selected by the ‘Wine Spectator’ in its ‘Annual Round-up of the Year’s Most Exciting Wines 2008’. Shows a youthful, minerally palate with a fresh-fruit character which is beautifully woven into the finish. France The House’s 40th vintage rosé, Grand Vintage Rosé 2006 is a mature and generous wine. Initial notes of biscuit and spice bread preceding aromas of cherry, prune and damson plum enriched by botanical nuances of wild herbs, rosemary, saffron and dried rose petals, along with a resinous, saline-inflected finish, come together to make this champagne a powerful, expansive, gracious wine.
France Noted for its lighter, flowery and elegantly fruity style showing citrussy grapefruit and orange blossom which reflects the high percentage of Chardonnay in the blend: 45% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier. Under the inspired direction of Bernard de Nonancourt, the fortunes of this family-owned house have risen enormously.
