Wine

Champagne

Dom Perignon Vintage 2003
The 2003 Dom Perignon is a highly rich, powerful and vinous Dom Perignon and unsurprisingly since the summer of 2003 was the hottest in 53 years. The nose has two distinct sides - the light floral candied fruit notes and darker, spicier, licorice aromas. A mouthful of creamy, silky fruit, hints of praline and honey, is under-pinned by a fina vivacious acidity and striking minerality. The perfect way to start a flight, excellent with caviar and pretty outstanding with shellfish and other fish dishes.

Moet & Chandon NV
Brut Imperial
A harmonious blend of the three Champagne grape varieties : Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meurnier, from the most expressive crus of the Champagne region. Brut Imperial embodies the Moet & Chandon style. It is a complete, generous and dunamic champagne. The wine has matured on the lees for several years until considered ready for drinking by the Chef de Cave.

White Wine

Y de Yquem 2010, Bourdeaux
Most impassioned wine lovers will have heard if not had the extreme pleasure to taste a wine from the revered Chateau d'Yquem vineyards in Sauternes, famous for their lusciously rich, complex, long living and unctuous wine. But few will have come across Y (pronounced "Ygrec") the almost dry white wine produced from early picked Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes from the same vineyards. Y is intensely fruited and vivacious, packed full of citrus, white flowers and honey, with a beautiful freshness and a touch of sweetness. Due to this residual sweetness it matches a very wide range of dishes.

Stonier Reserve Chardonnay, 2010, Mornington Peninsula
There is a lot of talk about the Yarra Valley being the premier supply of cool climate wine in Australia but our money is on the Mornington peninsula. Positioned on the coast near Melbourne it benefits from the cool ocean breeze. Fermented in French oak barrels the 2010 Chardonnay displays notes of nougat, peaches and nuts. The superb creamy palate has a fine acidity making this a great food wine, especially with seafood, pasta and poultry dishes.

Leeuwin Prelude Chardonnay 2010, Margaret River
Leeuwin was one of the earliest wineries in Margaret River region with an exceptional reputation for fine Chardonnay. The 2010 Prelude Chardonnay was fermented and aged in French oak barrels which offers notes of honeyed peaches, jasmine, orange, a dash of lime and lifted floral notes with a light oak nuance in the backgroun. The palate is delicately textured with pear, hints of wild honey and cashew. The finish is persistent. A superb wine for pairing with shellfish and seafood dishes.

Pierro LTC 2012, Margaret River
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon is well-known in Margaret River. Our friends at Pierro add "a little touch of Chardonnay" to theirs, hence the name LTC. The Semillon has a waxy texture; the Sauvignon gives a zesty freshness and the Chardonnay marries the two together with an overriding creaminess. A melange of grapefruit, lime and peach are found on the palate with a seductive and silky texture. Truly great to be enjoyed as an aperitif, with seafood and even spicy dishes.

Red Wine

Chateau Batailley 2000, Pauillac Bordeaux
Batailley is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc. The name is derived from the battle ("battaille") that took place where the chateau and vineyard are today during the 100-years war in 1452. Neighbouring Latour and Lynch Bages, Batailley has a very classical Pauillac style, exhibiting power, structure and deep fruit. 2000 was one of the finest years on record in Pauillac producing dense and long living wines. The ruby colour, turning to brick red on the rim, leads to an aromatic nose with ripe plums and cherry fruit. The palate is elegant, exuding cassis liqueur, tobacco and cedar notes. The perfect partner for steak and lamb dishes and the cheese board.

Clarendon Hills Onkaparinga Grenache 2009, McLaren Vale
The Onkaparinga Grenache forms part of what Roman Bratasuik calls his "grand cru" classification. The soils of this so called new world site are some of the oldest on earth and the vines were planted over 100 years ago still on pre phylloxera rootstocks, so you can imagine the intensity of the wine. The proximity of the ocean and the 300 meter elevation give Roman's wines lifted aromas and a fresh palate. The 2009 has a distinct, cosmetic-like, floral perfume with raspberry and kirsch aromas. Full bodied with fine savoury fruit flavours, elegant and soft tannins and a crisp finish.

Torbreck RunRig 2006, Barossa Valley
The RunRig was designed with the great wines of Hermitage and Cote Rotie in mind and the style comes through. The blend follows the classic Cote Rotie blend of 95% Shiraz or Syrah with 5% of Viognier, the fragrant white wine of Northern Rhone. A wine of great power and depth, with complex aromas of cigar box, Asian spice, barbecued meat, and layers of saturated fruit complimenting the generous structure. This is one of Barossa's greatest wines and deserves a fine red meat dish to accompany it.

Chateau Marquis de Terme 2003, Margaux
The 4th growth Margaux Chateau Marquis de Terme 2003 comes from one of the hottest years on record in Bordeaux. The colour is classically claret - dark ruby fading to garnet on the rim. The sweet plum and currant aromas are joined by herbal and tobacco notes. The palate is medium weight and charming, offering black cherries, cassis and more tobacco. A perfect partner to lamb and beef dishes, pleasant on its own or with hard cheeses.

Seppelt Aerin's Heathcote GSM 2009, Victoria
A single vineyard effort from one of Australia's most established producers - Seppelt. The Grenache, Shiraz and Mourverdre blend works brilliantly on the Heathcote soils producing complex and satisfying wines. Raspberries, red currants and subtle oak on the nose lead to a medium bodied palate with fine tannins, bold red fruits and sweet spice. A delicious wine, perfect with a range of food especially red meat and spicy dishes.

Dessert

Chateau Coutet 2006, Barsac Bordeaux
One of only two premier crus of Barsac, a region producing the famous sweet wines along with Sauternes. Coutet, like the other wines of Barsac, and Sauternes, benefits from the micro climate created by the two rivers flanking the vineyards. The mist, created by the cool and warm airs of the two rivers allows "noble rot" to form on the berries which in turn sucks out the water leaving shriveled but very concentrated juice in the grapes. It is this concentrated, viscous juice that goes on to make the delicious sweet wines that carry the appellation of Barsac (and Sauternes). The Coutet 2006 has a beautifully fresh nose combining exotic fruits such as pineapple and peaches with honey and marzipan. A light, zingy style, quite typical of the Barsac commune, the wine shows great opulence, svelte texture and a finely integrated acidity adding a welcome freshness. Perfect with an array of desserts and salty cheeses.

Port

Graham's Single Harvest Tawny Port 1969, Douro
This rare, limited release single vintage Tawny, from a production of only six barrels was not easy to come by, but since we did we are delighted to share it with you. Single vintage Tawny, for those of you unfamiliar to the style, is a vintage Port aged in port pipes until release. The longer the wine is aged, the lighter or more "tawny" it becomes. The Graham's 69 has a seductive and mesmerizing nose with honeysuckle, vanilla and caramel. The complex and silky palate has been softened from the 41 years in port pipes offering currants, exotic spice and butterscotch. A great accompaniment to salty cheese and chocolate desserts. Saude!

The perfect way to start a flight, excellent with caviar and pretty outstanding with shellfish and other fish dishes.

Veuve Clicquot Gold Label 2004, Vintage Brut
Undeniably one of the greatest Champagne houses and a favourite of Emirates onboard. Vintage Champagnes, sandwiched between the better known Brut Non Vintage and the luxury cuvees at the other end of the spectrum are often overlooked and unjustly so. The 2004 Vintage, a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 7% Pinot Meunier and 33% Chardonnay, has a tight structure, reveals ripe apricots and pears interwoven with floral, buttery aromatics. This up-front appeal is carried on over the mid palate with notes of honey, buttered toast and digestive biscuits. The finish is long and persistent. A great way to start a holiday, and the perfect accompaniment to smoked and non-smoked fish dishes.

White Wine

Corton Charlemagne Bonneau du Martray 2004, Burgundy
Bonneau du Martray family has managed to keep 9 hectares of Grand Cru vineyard from being parcellated, a rarity in Burgundy. The winemaking here is all about allowing finesse to shine through in the wines. White peach and pear, floral notes and a fine citrus scent on the nose, a creamy palate and a fine finish. A perfect wine for shellfish, poultry and pasta dishes.

Sancerre La Montagne Noire Domaine Sarry 2005, Loire Valley
The philosophy at Domaine Sarry is A-typical to most other Sancerre. Here they age the wines in oak foudres for added complexity and release the wines when ready to drink, in this case at seven years old. The result is a mature, supple, well integrated wine with melted oak tannins, peach and grapefruit flavours and a fine buttery finish. A superb accompaniment to fish and light poultry dishes.

Pouilly-Fume les Angelots Masson Blondelet 2010, Loire
Masson Blondelet is one of Pouilly Fume's top growers. The Angelot vineyard is based on limestone soils and farmed organically for purity of flavor. The 2010 is reaching its peak now displaying the hallmark flintiness and gunpowder nose with citrus notes. A superbly mineral palate with white flowers and citrus flavours leaping from the glass. A great partner to smoked fish, salads or as an aperitif wine.

The Waterkloof Circle of Life White 2011, Stellenbosch
The Waterkloof Circle of Life White 2011 is an intriguing blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chenin from Stellenbosch, married together in large oak 600 litre oak barrels, which adds great complexity and depth to the wine. The citrus and lemon nose leads to a tropical palate with creamy and buttered toast notes, with a hint of minerality on the finish. A superb food wine, perfect with starters, poultry and pasta dishes.

Red Wine

Chateau Clinet 2001, Pomerol
Clinet is one of the top and most sought after Pomerol chateaux, situated on the plateau in a prime spot and produced under the direction of cult consultant winemaker Michel Rolland. The 2001 has an intensely concentrated nose of blackberries, plums, figs and prunes. The palate is polished, complete, soft and very inviting with brooding dark fruit flavours, a hint of spice and notes of toasty oak. Tremendous with meat dishes, with copious amounts of cheese and followed by a second glass.

Chateau La Nerthe Cuvee des Cadettes 2006, Chateauneuf-du-Pape
The Chateau La Nerthe Cuvee des Cadettes is a luxury cuvee of Chateauneuf-du-Pape made from old vines. The 2006, a blend of classic southern Rhone varieties - Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah has a superb intensity and layers of complex flavours and a velvety texture. The nose and palate are dominated by blackberries and black cherries, licorice, with a gentle spiciness and oak. A versatile food wine, matching well to a range of meat, pasta and rice dishes.

Mazoyeres-Chambertin Grand Cru Domaine Perrot-Minot 2007, Burgundy
Burgundy is referred to as a mine field when it comes to selecting good quality wines. Perrot Minot, with some of the finest vineyard holdings in the Morey St Denis and Gevrey Chambertin villages of the Cotes de Nuits is a sure bet. The medium to dark ruby-coloured Mazoyeres-Chambertin exhibits aromas cherries and citrus peel. The palate is medium weight, opulent and highly expressive with red fruits, gentle spice and a hint of toasty oak. A joy to drink on its own, excellent with poultry dishes and meaty fish. Enjoy because due to a very restricted parcel this is unlikely to be on board the next time you fly.

Chateau Labegorce, 2005, Margaux
The beautiful chateau and vineyards of Labegorce sit in the northern part of this famous commune. The wine is typically Margaux in style displaying red and black berry fruits, cedar, tobacco and gentle spice with a medium to full body and silky finish. Glorious with beef or lamb, great with a number of other dishes including hard cheeses.

La Font de Michelle 2010, Chateauneuf-du-Pape
The 2010 Font de Michelle Chateauneuf-du-Pape of 70% Grenache, 10% each of Mourvedre and Syrah, and a few even less well known varieties displays a black cherry and spice nose. The full, luscious palate is broad with smoky meat, black fruits and licorice notes. The polished tannins make for a silky, smooth finish. A versatile food wine, best served with red meat dishes.

Dessert

Chateau de Suduiraut 2006, Sauternes Bordeaux
Chateau de Suduiraut, like its neighbours, benefits from a unique micro climate created by the two rivers flanking the vineyards of Sauternes. The mist, created by the cool and warm airs of the two rivers allows "noble rot" to form on the berries leaving a shriveled but highly concentrated juice in the grapes, which goes on to make deliciously rich and sweet wines. The nose is intensely perfumed with tropical fruits such as pineapple and melted butter and caramel and orange peel. Full bodied with a beautiful texture in the mouth and a lifting acidity. Perfect with an array of desserts and salty cheeses.

Port

Graham's Single Harvest Tawny Port 1969, Douro
This rare, limited release single vintage Tawny, from a production of only six barrels was not easy to come by, but since we did we are delighted to share it with you. Single vintage Tawny, for those of you unfamiliar to the style, is a vintage Port aged in port pipes until release. The longer the wine is aged, the lighter or more "tawny" it becomes. The Graham's 69 has a seductive and mesmerizing nose with honeysuckle, vanilla and caramel. The complex and silky palate has been softened from the 41 years in port pipes offering currants, exotic spice and butterscotch. A great accompaniment to salty cheese and chocolate desserts. Saude!

Wine

Champagne

Cuvee Dom Perignon Vintage 2003
The 2003 Dom Perignon is a highly rich, powerful and vinous Dom Perignon and unsurprisingly since the summer of 2003 was the hottest in 53 years. The nose has two distinct sides - the light floral candied fruit notes and darker, spicier, licorice aromas. A mouthful of creamy, silky fruit, hints of praline and honey, is under-pinned by a fina vivacious acidity and striking minerality. The perfect way to start a flight, excellent with caviar and pretty outstanding with shellfish and other fish dishes.

Veuve Clicquot Gold Label 2004, Vintage Brut
Undeniably one of the greatest Champagne houses and a favourite of Emirates onboard. Vintage Champagnes, sandwiched between the better known Brut Non Vintage and the luxury cuvees at the other end of the spectrum are often overlooked and unjustly so. The 2004 Vintage, a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 7% Pinot Meunier and 33% Chardonnay, has a tight structure, reveals ripe apricots and pears interwoven with floral, buttery aromatics.

Wine

Champagne

Dom Perignon Vintage 2003
The 2003 Dom Perignon is a highly rich, powerful and vinous Dom Perignon and unsurprisingly since the summer of 2003 was the hottest in 53 years. The nose has two distinct sides - the light floral candied fruit notes and darker, spicier, licorice aromas. A mouthful of creamy, silky fruit, hints of praline and honey, is under-pinned by a fina vivacious acidity and striking minerality. The perfect way to start a flight, excellent with caviar and pretty outstanding with shellfish and other fish dishes.

Moet & Chandon NV
Brut Imperial
A harmonious blend of the three Champagne grape varieties : Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meurnier, from the most expressive crus of the Champagne region. Brut Imperial embodies the Moet & Chandon style. It is a complete, generous and dunamic champagne. The wine has matured on the lees for several years until considered ready for drinking by the Chef de Cave.

White Wine

Y de Yquem 2010, Bourdeaux
Most impassioned wine lovers will have heard if not had the extreme pleasure to taste a wine from the revered Chateau d'Yquem vineyards in Sauternes, famous for their lusciously rich, complex, long living and unctuous wine. But few will have come across Y (pronounced "Ygrec") the almost dry white wine produced from early picked Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes from the same vineyards. Y is intensely fruited and vivacious, packed full of citrus, white flowers and honey, with a beautiful freshness and a touch of sweetness. Due to this residual sweetness it matches a very wide range of dishes.

Stonier Reserve Chardonnay, 2010, Mornington Peninsula
There is a lot of talk about the Yarra Valley being the premier supply of cool climate wine in Australia but our money is on the Mornington peninsula. Positioned on the coast near Melbourne it benefits from the cool ocean breeze. Fermented in French oak barrels the 2010 Chardonnay displays notes of nougat, peaches and nuts. The superb creamy palate has a fine acidity making this a great food wine, especially with seafood, pasta and poultry dishes.

Leeuwin Prelude Chardonnay 2010, Margaret River
Leeuwin was one of the earliest wineries in Margaret River region with an exceptional reputation for fine Chardonnay. The 2010 Prelude Chardonnay was fermented and aged in French oak barrels which offers notes of honeyed peaches, jasmine, orange, a dash of lime and lifted floral notes with a light oak nuance in the backgroun. The palate is delicately textured with pear, hints of wild honey and cashew. The finish is persistent. A superb wine for pairing with shellfish and seafood dishes.

Pierro LTC 2012, Margaret River
A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon is well-known in Margaret River. Our friends at Pierro add "a little touch of Chardonnay" to theirs, hence the name LTC. The Semillon has a waxy texture; the Sauvignon gives a zesty freshness and the Chardonnay marries the two together with an overriding creaminess. A melange of grapefruit, lime and peach are found on the palate with a seductive and silky texture. Truly great to be enjoyed as an aperitif, with seafood and even spicy dishes.

Red Wine

Chateau Batailley 2000, Pauillac Bordeaux
Batailley is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc. The name is derived from the battle ("battaille") that took place where the chateau and vineyard are today during the 100-years war in 1452. Neighbouring Latour and Lynch Bages, Batailley has a very classical Pauillac style, exhibiting power, structure and deep fruit. 2000 was one of the finest years on record in Pauillac producing dense and long living wines. The ruby colour, turning to brick red on the rim, leads to an aromatic nose with ripe plums and cherry fruit. The palate is elegant, exuding cassis liqueur, tobacco and cedar notes. The perfect partner for steak and lamb dishes and the cheese board.

Clarendon Hills Onkaparinga Grenache 2009, McLaren Vale
The Onkaparinga Grenache forms part of what Roman Bratasuik calls his "grand cru" classification. The soils of this so called new world site are some of the oldest on earth and the vines were planted over 100 years ago still on pre phylloxera rootstocks, so you can imagine the intensity of the wine. The proximity of the ocean and the 300 meter elevation give Roman's wines lifted aromas and a fresh palate. The 2009 has a distinct, cosmetic-like, floral perfume with raspberry and kirsch aromas. Full bodied with fine savoury fruit flavours, elegant and soft tannins and a crisp finish.

Torbreck RunRig 2006, Barossa Valley
The RunRig was designed with the great wines of Hermitage and Cote Rotie in mind and the style comes through. The blend follows the classic Cote Rotie blend of 95% Shiraz or Syrah with 5% of Viognier, the fragrant white wine of Northern Rhone. A wine of great power and depth, with complex aromas of cigar box, Asian spice, barbecued meat, and layers of saturated fruit complimenting the generous structure. This is one of Barossa's greatest wines and deserves a fine red meat dish to accompany it.

Chateau Marquis de Terme 2003, Margaux
The 4th growth Margaux Chateau Marquis de Terme 2003 comes from one of the hottest years on record in Bordeaux. The colour is classically claret - dark ruby fading to garnet on the rim. The sweet plum and currant aromas are joined by herbal and tobacco notes. The palate is medium weight and charming, offering black cherries, cassis and more tobacco. A perfect partner to lamb and beef dishes, pleasant on its own or with hard cheeses.

Seppelt Aerin's Heathcote GSM 2009, Victoria
A single vineyard effort from one of Australia's most established producers - Seppelt. The Grenache, Shiraz and Mourverdre blend works brilliantly on the Heathcote soils producing complex and satisfying wines. Raspberries, red currants and subtle oak on the nose lead to a medium bodied palate with fine tannins, bold red fruits and sweet spice. A delicious wine, perfect with a range of food especially red meat and spicy dishes.

Dessert

Chateau Coutet 2006, Barsac Bordeaux
One of only two premier crus of Barsac, a region producing the famous sweet wines along with Sauternes. Coutet, like the other wines of Barsac, and Sauternes, benefits from the micro climate created by the two rivers flanking the vineyards. The mist, created by the cool and warm airs of the two rivers allows "noble rot" to form on the berries which in turn sucks out the water leaving shriveled but very concentrated juice in the grapes. It is this concentrated, viscous juice that goes on to make the delicious sweet wines that carry the appellation of Barsac (and Sauternes). The Coutet 2006 has a beautifully fresh nose combining exotic fruits such as pineapple and peaches with honey and marzipan. A light, zingy style, quite typical of the Barsac commune, the wine shows great opulence, svelte texture and a finely integrated acidity adding a welcome freshness. Perfect with an array of desserts and salty cheeses.

Port

Graham's Single Harvest Tawny Port 1969, Douro
This rare, limited release single vintage Tawny, from a production of only six barrels was not easy to come by, but since we did we are delighted to share it with you. Single vintage Tawny, for those of you unfamiliar to the style, is a vintage Port aged in port pipes until release. The longer the wine is aged, the lighter or more "tawny" it becomes. The Graham's 69 has a seductive and mesmerizing nose with honeysuckle, vanilla and caramel. The complex and silky palate has been softened from the 41 years in port pipes offering currants, exotic spice and butterscotch. A great accompaniment to salty cheese and chocolate desserts. Saude!
