Savoury and settled on the finish, it is a thoughtful match for roast poultry, mushrooms, pork or a simple plate of charcuterie.
Roches Bleues 2019 Cote Brouilly Foudre
On the nose you'll find delightful aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, characteristic of Gamay, the grape variety used in Beaujolais wines.

A surge of energy through the second half drives the exceptionally long, focused finish.
Roses de Jeanne Cédric Bouchard VV/R23 Blanc de Noirs Champagne NV 750 mL

Serve lightly chilled with fruit-based desserts, blue cheese, foie gras or as a small contemplative glass on its own.
Rozès 1985 Vintage Port
Dark ruby with a mature amber rim, opening on mulberry, liquorice, fudge and cocoa. Marzipan and roasted coffee add aromatic depth.

The chocolate and coffee tones gather through a complex, attractive finish that is long, elegant and quietly generous.
Rudd 2004 Oakville Estate Red 750 mL
Cassis, blackberry and dark plum are layered with graphite, liquorice, mocha and a quiet violet lift. The palate is full and concentrated, yet freshness keeps the ripe fruit defined.

The finish is long and persistent, returning to blackcurrant, graphite and restrained spice.
Ruffino Prosecco Extra Dry 375 mL
Fresh apple, pear and honeydew melon open with a clean, inviting lift.

It finishes refreshing and balanced, leaving melon, orchard fruit and a softly rounded extra-dry close.
Rum-Bar Silver Jamaican Rum 200 mL
