Wine
Croix Mouton 2016 Bordeaux Superieur
Crushed violet, ripe black cherry and cassis give the bouquet an elegant, perfumed lift. Medium-bodied and fresh, the palate layers sappy black fruit over well-judged acidity, with saline and black olive notes adding savoury definition. The finish remains bright and poised, making this an easy match for roast lamb, duck or grilled mushrooms.
Pamplemousse Jus 2025 Gewri Pét-Nat
Medici Ermete NV Unique Metodo Classico Rosé Brut
Wild strawberry and crushed raspberry meet soft florals and a bright hint of citrus. Fine persistent bubbles give the palate a creamy lift, while fresh acidity keeps the delicate red fruit precise. Dry, taut and harmonious, it closes with restrained bread-crust complexity and a clean, elegant finish.
Domaine Romain & Simon Pillot 2023 Bourgogne Rouge
La Frenz 2025 Alexandria
Jasmine, fresh mango and cantaloupe rise first, followed by white peach, Asian pear and a delicate Turkish-delight note. The palate is fresh, flamboyant and softly off dry, with a luscious texture carried by enough acidity to stay elegant. Honey lingers through the generous finish. Serve well chilled with Thai dishes, fruit-led salads or soft cheese.
Sage Hills 2022 Red Blend
Ripe Bing cherry, plum and blackberry lead, with liquorice adding a darker, savoury accent. Wild fermentation in stainless steel preserves clarity across the three-variety blend, while 24 months on lees in neutral barrels brings measured texture. Unfined and unfiltered, the palate closes with delicate, soft tannins and a composed, naturally expressive finish.
Mythology 2021 Malbec
Floral aromas open into raspberry and red currant, with a ripe, generous character from the outset. Blueberry, violet, leather and cocoa build across the palate, framed by a firm, dry grip. The finish is long and structured without losing the fruit's brightness. Serve with lamb burgers, grilled steak or smoky vegetables.
Robert Keenan Winery 2022 Chardonnay Spring Mountain District
Citrus, ripe pear and green apple lead, with white peach emerging as the wine opens. Lees ageing brings gentle richness and complexity, while the absence of malolactic fermentation preserves a crisp, focused line. A touch of toast returns on the medium-bodied finish. Serve moderately chilled with roast chicken, grilled halibut, crab cakes or creamy vegetable dishes.
Fox & Archer 2022 3 Blocks Pinot Noir Okanagan Valley
Ripe cherry and red currant lead, joined by liquorice, graphite and earthy spice. The palate is poised and savoury, with whole-cluster fermentation bringing aromatic lift and fine structure. Eleven months in predominantly neutral French oak preserves the fruit while adding quiet depth, leading to an unfiltered finish of mineral and woodland tones.
Pentage 2019 Roussanne Marsanne Viognier
Orofino 2021 PTG
Solvero 2020 Pinot Noir
Dark cherry and ripe raspberry open with earthy depth and a quiet green-tea note. The palate is delicate yet expressive, with fresh acidity and a silky texture carrying the red fruit cleanly. Fine savoury detail builds through an elegant finish, making it a polished match for roast duck, salmon or mushroom risotto.
Mayhem 2018 Fortified Gewürztraminer
Nutty caramel and candied fruit lead a concentrated, oxidative nose, with warm spice and tropical tones adding detail. The palate is rich and warming, bringing ginger and cinnamon into balance with the preserved-fruit sweetness. Barrel-aged depth carries through the finish, leaving a layered echo of caramel, spice and candied fruit.
Vista D’Oro NV Pinot Noix
Dry and distinctly savoury, this sherry-like specialty wine brings Pinot Noir together with green walnut husks from the estate. The palate is gently vinous rather than overtly fruity, with layered walnut depth and a firm, food-friendly finish. Its unusual balance of wine and nuts makes it particularly suited to cheese, charcuterie or pâté.
Joie 2023 En Famille Reserve Pinot Meunier
Delicate yet deeply layered, with candied strawberry and fresh plum at the centre. Purple flowers add perfume, while cinnamon and clove bring warm spice before a lift of blood orange. The aromatic range moves easily from ripe fruit to floral and citrus notes, giving this uncommon red a distinctive, finely drawn profile.
Les Vignes d’Adelie 2023 Vire-Clesse
An intense nose brings roasted almond, mocha and gently toasted notes. The palate is powerful and fleshy, with mirabelle plum and candied-grape richness carried by ample texture. Roasted nuances return through the mid-palate, while the wine's weight and concentration settle into a long, broad and generous finish.
Van Niekerk 2024 Goue Rif Overberg
Revel The Spot You Told Me About Sweet Vermouth
Roses, cherries and apple blossom lead a fragrant, rosé-coloured aperitif. The palate combines ripe red fruit with crabapple brightness, while blue spruce, white pine and willow bark add cool forest character and gentle bitterness. Yarrow brings a sweet citrus note, balanced by a fine astringency that keeps the sweetness composed. The finish is floral, fresh and quietly savoury. Serve chilled on its own, over a large cube, or use it as the aromatic centre of a wet Martini.
Domaine d’Aupilhac 2022 Lou Maset Languedoc Rouge 750 mL
Cherry, raspberry and blackberry lead the documented fruit profile, joined by savoury herbs. The palate is medium-full and juicy, with a mineral backbone. A second exact record describes the wine as robust, fruity and refreshing, with fullness, silky tannins and a spicy finish. Cinsault and Grenache are the two varieties consistently supported by the retained exact-vintage evidence.
