St Supery Napa Valley Estate Sauvignon Blanc

A crisp, inviting sauvignon blanc with ripe green lime and pink grapefruit combined with notes of lemon crème and a hint of anise on the palate. The wine presents green and yellow hues with bright aromatics of grapefruit, lime peel, gooseberry, fennel pollen and a touch of caper to create a saline vibrancy. Beautifully balanced with energetic acid structure and a pleasing finish.

Daou Vineyards 'Bodyguard' Chardonnay

Winemaker's Notes

The Bodyguard Chardonnay embodies the quintessential style of a California chardonnay - ripe fruit, vanilla-laced oak notes and an all around rich and buttery mouthfeel. The warmer climate of California provides a deeper golden color, aromas of vanilla, cinnamon and coconut, and the flavors can range from mango and banana to butter and cream.

The Chardonnay grape truly reflects where it is grown and as such the terroir expresses itself very accurately in the glass. The Bodyguard Chardonnay uses grapes from the famous Santa Barbara appellation that benefits from the proximity of Pacific Ocean. Cold fermentations are performed to maintain the aromatic precursors with a combination of French and American oak to deliver a creamy and buttery mouthfeel.

Boschendal Brut NV

Pale gold in colour with a flourish of delicate bubbles, this MCC carries enticing lemon cream and almond Biscotti preceding lovely layers of citrus with a finish appealing in length and freshness. Maturation on the lees provides a well-rounded, creamy mouthfeel with mouthwatering minerality, good balance and a seamless finish.
