Wine List
Champagne Champagne Amour De Deutz, Blanc de blanc 1999 Were servig Krug though!
This elegant Champagne is crystal clear with pale gold tinges. It is delicate, with subtle notes of white flowers, citrus fruits, fresh almonds and vanilla pods. The 1999 Amour De Deutz has a delicious lengthy finish, which reflects the excellent quality of the Chardonnay grapes in this fine vintage. It is a perfect aperitif as well as an excellent accompaniment to caviar and lobster, prawn or fish dishes.
White Wines:
Cuvasion Estate Selection Chardonnay Napa Valley Carneros 2004
The 2004 Cuvasion Estate Selection Chardonnay has a fabulous nose with layers of tropical fruits. The palate is succulent, rich and plush with notes of close, white peach and key lime. This is a beautiful wine with a delightful combination of rich fruits and a bright beam of acidity and a long persistent aftertaste. It makes an excellent accompaniment to white meat dishes.
Bouchard Pere & Fils Meursault Les Clous 2005
Meursault is a large village located in the southern part of the Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France, which produces some of the best Chardonnay wine in the world. The 2005 Bouchard Pere & Fils Meursault Les Clous possess a stony, mineral nose allied to pithy citrus fruit, whilst the palate has a bright fresh acidity to complement the supple, honeyed fruits with a light touch of oak. It is pure with a silky structure. Fish and poultry dishes with a cream sauce will pair wonderfully with this wine.
Red Wines:
Possums Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz 2004
The vines for this delicious wine are planted in Blewitt Springs, an elevated sub-region of McLaren Vale, South Australia. The 2004 Possums Vineyard Shiraz has dark purple and vibrant violet hues. It displays intense aromas of blackberry and raspberry, which marry beautifully with the spiciness of the oak. It is full bodied and well structured with supple tannins. This wine matches well with stews and also many Chinese dishes.
Felipe Rutini Reserve Malbec 2006
Felipe Rutini Reserve Malbec is made from the best grapes from vines which are up to 65 years old, grown in San Carlos, Mendoza, Argentina, at 1000 metres above sea level. The 2006 vintage has a concentrated nose with notes of wild berries, tobacco and vanilla. The palate is full, with rich black fruit flavours and a long, lingering finish and a touch of black pepper. This
rich complex wine could be enjoyed with red meat dishes.
Chateau Lynch Bages 2001
The 2001 Chateau Lynch Bages is a ruby garnet in colour. It is pure and lush with aromas of black olives, cedar, blackcurrant and liquorice. This seductive wine is full-bodied with soft tannins, an excellent accompaniment to roast beef, braised lamb and numerous Chinese dishes.
