Business Class Wine List
Champagne
Moet & Chandon, Brut Imperial NV
A harmonious blend of the three Champagne grape varieties - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, from the most expressive crus of the Champagne region. Brut Imperial embodies the Moet & Chandon style. It is a complete, generous and dynamic champagne. The wine has matured on the leaves for several years until considered ready for drinking by the Chef de Cave.
White Wine
Craggy Range Yacht Club Vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc 2008, Marlborough New Zealand
Pale and green tinged in appearance. Bright aromas of lemongrass, lime, herbs, grapefruit and spring flowers. The palate is juicy yet elegant in structure, with an ultra fine texture and a beautiful array of citrus and sweet herb flavours, and delicate floral notes. This crunchy single vineyard wine finishes vibrant, mouth-watering and flavour filled.
Leeuwin Estate, Chardonnay 2007, Margaret River Western Australia
Western Australia's Margaret River makes very elegant and restrained styles of wine. Leeuwin Estate is the regions leading proponent of this approach. The nose has aromas and showing ripe pears, cashew nuts, creme brulee and hints of toasty French oak. The palate displays the typical sweet fruit from Leeuwin's low cropping vineyards of dried pear, toasty creamy custard tart and nutty nuances of almond and cashew, with lingering stone fruit and a fresh clean finish.
Red Wine
Château Cantemerle, 2000 Haut Medoc
Punching well above its weight, the Cantemerle from the great '00 vintage is drinking magnificently today. An opulent plum ruby red with a moderately intense bouquet of black fruits, liquorice, vanilla and slight hints of cigar tobacco. It is full bodied yet elegant, with silky tannins, has a rounded mouth feel and is nicely structured. Very accessible and long on the finish.
Wither Hills, Pinot Noir 2007, Marlborough New Zealand
The Wairau Valley in the heart of Marlborough is home to the Wither Hills vineyards. A wonderful deep garnet hue sets the tone for this classic Pinot Noir. The aromas are youthful, complex and ever evolving in the glass. Look for aromas of ripe black cherry and rich plum surrounded by blueberry fruit. On the palate the wine just melts with enchanting fresh forest red fruit flavours and leaves you looking for a second sip.
Port
Quinta do Noval, 2002 Late Bottled Vintage
This delicious rich LBV is aged for four and a half years in large wooden vats in the deep cellars of the Quinta in the demarcated region of the Duoro Valley before bottling. Dark brick ruby colour, with a vigorous ripe red fruity nose. Smooth and silky, with a solid tannic structure and a long harmonious finish. Ideally served as an accompaniment to cheese, dessert, or on its own at the end of a meal.
