White Wines

Paul Sapin Mâcon Lugny Cuvée Prestige 2005
Lugny is a small village in the Mâconnais, Burgundy. The 2005 Paul Sapin Mâcon Lugny Cuvée Prestige 2005 displays floral and fruity aromas that give way to its lush, suave, medium-bodied character. It offers flavours reminiscent of lemon, dusted with honey and minerals. This charming wine goes well with fish and white meat dishes, and is also an excellent aperitif on its own.

Sebastiani Sonoma County Chardonnay 2005
The grapes for this wine were sourced from several sub-appellations of Sonoma County in California. The wine has very pleasant mineral and citrus notes on the nose, with nuances of golden apple and pink grapefruit. It is a beautiful, well-rounded wine with fine acidity. The lingering finish is laced with vanilla flavours. It pairs well with a variety of foods from grilled or poached white meat to salads and pastas.

Red Wines

Kirrihill Companions Clare Valley Shiraz 2004
This rich wine, from Clare Valley, South Australia, has intense aromas of ripe mulberry and nutmeg, combined with vanilla oak. It is balanced and generous with sweet berry fruit and chocolate notes, while the tannin adds to deliver a powerful wine that lingers nicely on the palate. Enjoy this flavoursome wine with red meat dishes.

Château De Mercey Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune 2005
This delicious wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, from Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France. It has aromas of red and black berries with notes of toast and spices, and offers ample fruity flavours. It matches very well with red meat, poultry and rich cheese.

This wine is sourced from the same vineyards that in exceptional years produce Dow’s renowned Vintage Ports. It is aged solely in oak casks and bottled 5 to 6 years after the harvest.

Disznókö Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos 1996

Tokaj, in the northeast of Hungary, is famous for producing great sweet wines since the 16th century. They were favourites of Louis XIV of France and Pope Pius IV, as well as the tsars of Russia. Aszú means nobly rotted grapes. As the result of the noble rot (botrytis) and over-ripening, the grapes shrivel. This concentrates the sugars and flavour of the Furmint, Hárslevelü, Zéta and Yellow Muscat grapes. Puttonyos, labelled between 3 and 6 on Aszú wine, refers to how many puttony (a traditional wooden basket holding 25 kilos) of aszú grapes are added to a base must or base wine made from the non-botrytis-affected grapes. The more puttonyos, the sweeter and richer the wine. This golden-yellow wine features wild flowers, while a very ripe citrus nose with strong botrytis character add complexity. On the palate, it is round and creamy, smooth like liquid butterscotch, with a lingering aftertaste. It is elegant and beautifully sweet with very good acidity, making it a very delicious wine. Foie gras with Tokaji Aszú is a local delicacy, but it also goes extremely well with blue cheese, and for Chinese food lovers, sweet and sour dishes are perfect. We hope you enjoy this elixir from heaven, high above the clouds.
