====================================================

BLACKBERRY MERLOT

Soft and silky with rich flavours of blackberry, cherry, plum, vanilla, oak, violets, dark fruits and the occasional hint

of cedar or cigar, Blackberry Merlot is an easy, friendly wine. This wine lends itself fabulously to romantic dinners, informal gatherings, and cocktail parties. Extremely versatile, Blackberry Merlot is best enjoyed with roasted reed meats, salmon, duck, mushroom dishes, and pasta with red wine and tomato sauce. Mild cow and Goat cheese also complement this wine's smoothness nicely.

GREEN APPLE RIESLING

Fresh and fruity, Green Apple Riesling is a sweet, easy drinking wine boasting honeyed flavours of pear and apricot with floral notes of a distinctive green apple character. Rich and luscious, the relative acidity of this Riesling complements spicy foods such as Thai and Middle Eastern cuisine, while the fruity and floral hints work well with seafood, ham, and simple chicken or fish dishes. This wine complements a wide range of cheeses, from soft, fresh varieties of cream cheese, through the semi-soft ripeness of Havarti, all the way to blue-veins such as Stilton. Green Apple Riesling is also one of the very few whites that pairs well with chocolate. This wine is best served at casual gatherings, as a sipping wine or as a dessert wine.

PEACH CHARDONNAY

Buttered, oaky overtones meet the fresh fruit flavours of peach, apple, pear and citrus in this fresh and well-balanced take on the popular Chardonnay. One of the most versatile wines in our collection, Peach Chardonnay goes well with white meat, such as poultry or pork, and seafood, especially if a cream sauce is involved. Full-flavoured dishes which have been grilled, roasted, or sauteed are also popular choices. Peach Chardonnay is best enjoyed in cooler weather with upscale meals. Cheeses like Provolone, Gruyere, Brie, and aged Cheddar can help to highlight the flavour of this elegant wine.

RASPBERRY PINOT NOIR

Pinot Noir grapes may be notorious for their finicky and challenging nature while growing, but this light-bodied and smooth, velvety wine is anything but difficult to enjoy. It contains hints of cherries, raspberries, strawberries and plums, with just the right amount of spice, making it perfect for romantic dinners and intimate gatherings. It makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled, roasted, or sauteed foods, especially game birds, poultry, mild red meats, and well-flavoured fish like tuna and salmon. Strong, flavourful cheeses such as aged Cheddar and Stilton also pair nicely with Raspberry Pinot Noir.

WILDBERRY SHIRAZ

Wildberries take centre stage in the full-bodied and bold Wildberry Shiraz. Spicy with flavours of mixed berries, black pepper, anise, oaky vanilla tannins and of course wildberry, this wine has the intense colour and jam-like flavour characteristic of Shiraz making it perfect for formal entertaining on cooler evenings or dinner by the fire. Wildberry Shiraz is a big wine , so it needs big flavours to match. Serve it with dishes like steak, veal, stew or pork chops, as long as the sauce isn't too acidic. The same care should be used in matching this wine with cheese.

Wildberry Shiraz is so bold it needs firm, well-ripened cheeses like Edam, Gouda, or aged Cheddar to bring out the depth of its flavour.

CRANBERRY SHIRAZ

Indulge in the full-bodied, bold, and spicy flavours of mixed berries, black pepper, anise, and oaky vanilla tannins with a distinctive Cranberry flavour. With its intense colour and jam-like flavour, this Cranberry Shiraz is perfect for formal entertaining on cooler evenings or when enjoying dinner by the fire. A wine this big needs flavours just as big to complement it. Cranberry Shiraz is best with dishes like steak, veal, or pork chops if the sauce isn't too acidic. Similarly, this wine should be matched with firm, ripened cheeses like Edam, Gouda, or aged Cheddar.

STRAWBERRY WHITE ZINFANDEL

Light and refreshing, with a stunning pastel rose colour, Strawberry White Zinfandel has a crisp but delicate bouquet of strawberries and raspberries with soft floral notes and a hint of spice. This wine has the sort of light body and clean, well-balanced flavour that makes it an easy drinking favourite. Perfect for light entertaining in cool to warm weather, you should pair Strawberry White Zinfandel with fresh fruit, olives, seafood, shellfish, poached fish or chicken and salads to bring out the best in its flavour. Slightly sweet cheeses or foods that are moderately spicy, like Mediterranean fare, also complement the sweet, bright flavours of Strawberry White Zinfandel.

====================================================

WILDBERRY WHITE ZINFANDEL

Wildberry Zinfandel has a rich character all its own. This full-bodied, dry wine with little to no oak features a soft ruby, almost jewel-toned, hue with the flavours of fresh raspberries and ripe blackberries. Its richness is offset by savoury spiciness and hints of chocolate and violets. Wildberry Zinfandel is a great summer wine and can be enjoyed just as well with friends and good conversation as it can be complemented by a nice dinner. It also pairs well with the foods warmer weather bring, such as barbecue and sausages, salads and saltier cheeses, and peppery sauces.
