Red Wines
Australian Shiraz
( 0 - )
Australia’s route to fame on the world wine stage, Shiraz from Down
Under offers lush berry aromas that beg for a hearty whiff. A wine of
ripe fullness, its concentrated blackberry fruits and fragrant spiciness
are a delight on the tongue. It has the uncanny quality of allowing early
consumption despite its complexity and ‘bigness’. Robust and
lively, Australian Shiraz is a savoury treat.
California Trinity
Red ( - )
An ideal blending of three of California 's most popular grape varieties
- Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, com ing together to
make a perfectly balanced, well- structured dry red wine. Notes of black
cherry and coffee complement the smokey, herbal flavours, and hints of
vanilla that round out this medium bodied wine , making it highly enjoyable
for any occasion. Serve with a roast dinner or barbecued steak.
California Zinfandel
Shiraz ( 0 - )
A deep flavourful red wine with notes of raspberry, black cherries, figs,
dark chocolate and a jamminess that finishes with a peppery spice.
Chilean Malbec
( 0 - )
The hot dry climate allows the grapes to reach excellent ripeness, and
lush fruity characters, making an intense, black wine. A thick-skinned
grape full of colour, tannin and flavour, Malbec makes wines of great
power and character, with blackberry, plums, tar, red pepper, sweet cherry,
spice, licorice and deep bittersweet notes, almost like unsweetened chocolate,
or espresso.
Chilean Merlot
( 0 - )
Originating from the world famous Maipo Valley wine region in Chile hails
this great addition to our Passport Series. This reputable Merlot is a
soft and supple variation with powerful fruit and spicy flavours. Renowned
for its ripe cherry character, the Merlot is a perfect partner for red
meats, lamb, and hearty stews. A must have on those crisp autumn evenings.
French Cabernet
Sauvignon ( 0 - )
All the classic associations with this well-known grape variety used in
France’s brilliant red wine blends are here in this Cabernet brought
in directly from France: rich, intense aromas, deep berry fruits, healthy
tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. With the proper tannin astringency
and premium French oak evident throughout, this is an elegant wine offering
body and complexity when aged.
Italian Sangiovese
( 0 - )
The lively fruit and good acidity make it one of the most food-friendly
of all reds, pairing well with pasta, veal Parmigiana, intensely flavoured
cheeses, and fruits like cherries, figs, plums and raspberries.
White Wines
Australian Chardonnay
( 0 - )
Supple and slightly buttery, this wine lingers on the palate with layers
of toast and spice. Extremely versatile with foods, this is the ‘red
wine’ of white wines, combining beautifully with grilled pork, chicken,
fish, salads and cream-based pasta sauces.
Australian Riverland
Reserve ( 0 )
A stunningly unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Colombard and Muscat varieties
sourced from Australia’s Riverland region on the Murray River. The
hot climate produces a wine offering a lively combination of rich ripe
fruits, complimentary acidity, and a full body, making this delicious
white wine a ‘must-try’.
California Trinity
White ( 0 )
A unique blend of Colombard, Sauv Blanc and Semillon, combining lemon
and grapefruit aromas with rounded fruit, redolent of melons and fresh figs to round out this crisp refreshing medium-bodied white.
French Sauvignon
Blanc ( 0 )
Steely, grassy, herbaceous – the classic traits of palate-cleansing
Sauvignon Blanc are here in this version sourced directly from the French
countryside. Crisp and dry, this refreshing wine is a fabulous match with
food, as its full, fresh flavours and wonderfully balanced acidity make
it essential with chicken, fish and grilled vegetables.
German Muller
Thurgau ( 1 -
- )
Müller-Thurgau (Moo-lehr Tirr-gow) Delicious flavours apricot, green
apple and peach aromas of Riesling, and the early ripening qualities of
Silvaner. A great sipping wine, it’s a perfect choice for potato chips
(there’s nothing like a crisp glass of Müller-Thurgau and some
crunchy chips!) but mostly it’s a very satisfying wine to quench
a thirst in good company
Italian Pinot
Grigio ( 0 )
The Italians have their own way with the Pinot Gris grape variety, and
in the process they create a special magic with it that’s unmatched
elsewhere in the wine world. Though dry in character and with a pleasant
zip of acidity, this Pinot Grigio shows off a pleasant floral fragrance
and tremendous fruit flavours, making it the perfect picnic accompaniment.
Italian Trebbiano
( 0 )
This light, almost pale in colour, crispy white wine offers citrusy notes
and a clean, fruit with almond-like finish. Excellent with appetizers
such as shrimp cocktail or lightly flavoured pastas.
