Drink List

Red Wine

Canon-Fronsac Chateau Belloy
Region Bordeaux Canon-Fronsac
Grape variety 60% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot
Tasting notes Deep red colour. The bouquet has a rich intensity with elegant expression of flavours (morello cherry, stewed fruits, subtle oak, and toasted wood). It is fully developed wine. 85-86 Robert Parker in The Wine Advocate.

White Wine

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling
Region Eden Valley, South Australia
Grape variety 100% Riesling
Tasting notes At release - pale white, with a concession of a green rim. The nose reveals typical Eden Valley aromatics of lifted orange blossom and freshly diced pink lady apples. The palate brims with alluring fruit flavours of blood orange, passionfruit and lime leaf, balanced with a natural zesty lemon acid. This is a tightly structured wine, appealing to drink now, yet it will offer a tempting alternative in 5-7 years.

Bourgogne Cote Chalonnaise
Region Burgundy
Grape variety 100% Chardonnay
Tasting notes Pale yellow, with subtle aromas blending hazelnut, honeysuckle, citrus fruits. A racy wine with a refreshing flavor. Natural well-balanced finish.

The flight specific service

Fusional Marlborough Pinot Noir
Exclusively available at Australia and New Zealand flight. (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland)
Region Marlborough - New Zealand
Grape variety 100% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes This Pinot Noir has beautiful cocoa and spicy notes and aromas of ripe red berries. Soft and silky on the palate, this wine stands out for its perfect balance between its fine structure and its delicious aromas.

Grand Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon
Exclusively available at Australia, New Zealand and European flight. (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Moscow, Dubai)
Region Australia
Grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting notes Lifted aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and vanilla are accompanied by vibrant, dark berry fruits on the palate. The finish is long with fine-grained tannins from sixteen months maturation in a combination of new and older French oak hogsheads. Although drinking well now this wine may be cellared for up to ten years from vintage.

Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois Chateau De Braude
Exclusively available at European and Northern American flight. (Paris, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Moscow, Dubai, Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Francisco, New York)
Region Bordeaux - Haut Medoc
Grape variety 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot
Tasting notes Deep red colour. The bouquet has a wonderful intensity with generous expression of flavours (cherry, black fruits, subtle and toasted oak, roasted coffee, vanilla). It is a very elegant wine, with a lot of character.

Ironstone Cabernet Sauvignon
Exclusively available at Northern and American flight. (Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Francisco, New York)
Region USA, California
Grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting notes Balanced and tasty with lovely dark fruit and just enough oak. Enticing aromas of cassis, blackberry and vanilla smoke. Supple, smooth and full-bodied. Mocha and dark chocolate on the finish. This full-bodied red wine is a classic California Cabernet!

Port

Penfolds Club Reserve Classic Tawny Port
Region South Australia
Grape variety Shiraz, Grenache Mourvedre
Tasting notes Amber-brown color with a dark red rim. The nose is lifted with an attractive, complex mix of dried fruit, vanilla and caramel. The palate is rich and vibrant displaying ripe spicy fruit, toffee and walnuts framed by smoky oak with a cleansing finish.

Champagne

Charles Leprince
Region Champagne, Marne Valley, near Epernay
Grape variety 60% Pinot Meunier, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes After a long bottle aging, this Champagne has a clear golden yellow color with beautiful sparkling fine bubbles. His nose is very fruity with notes of plums, pineapple, brioche, butter and yeast. On the palate it is fresh, delicate and fruity, with aromas of honey, plum and cherry pits. Pleasant finish and good length.
