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.

Eileen Hardy OBE, is remembered as the matriarch of on of Australia’s best known winemaking families. Today she is immortalised by the annual release of one of Australia’s great white wines. Carefully crafted from fruit growing in some of Australia’s premium Chardonnay growing regions as well as up and coming areas that show fantastic promise.

Tyrells ‘Vat 1’ Hunter Semillon 2002
Hunter Valley, New South Wales
The Tyrell family arrived in Australia over 150 years ago and have since been proud pioneers of the Australian wine industry. This is a fine example of a true Semillon from a region that produces the best of this delightful varietal. The flavours are typical – lemon and lime rind with some fennel, a little spice and a texture that is lightly chalky and fluffy.

S.C. Pannell Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Winemaker and current Qantas wine consultant Stephen Pannell made a great name for himself with Hardy’s iconic McLaren Vale reds. He is now doing his own thing and has continued to impress the wine industry. This release shows the diversity of his talent. We see plenty of fresh herb and gooseberry character, but there is also some lifted tropical fruit and delicate hints of citrus.

RED WINE
Geoff Merrill Reserve Shiraz 2002
McLaren Vale, South Australia
This stunning 2002 vintage is comparable to the 1990 and 1998 due to being one of the coolest summers on record for South Australia. Flavour ripeness with optimum natural acidity levels allowed us to produce a wine of great intensity and balance.

A lovely Pinot Noir. “Highly aromatic, fruit driven bouquet and palate featuring wild cherry, plum and fruit spice; medium-bodied, well balanced, and good oak handling.” James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2008

Howard Park Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Margaret River, Western Australia
Howard Park is amongst the top producers in West Australia’s Margaret River region, an area famed for world class cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. “The nose offers exotic scents of blackberry, tar and earth. A chunky palate of ripe black fruits married to firm tannins and well-judged oak. The finish has an amazing depth of concentration.” Simon Wood, Wine and Spirits – UK

DESSERT WINE
Lillypilly Family Reserve Noble Blend 2002
Riverina, New South Wales
The 2002 is an outstanding sweet wine, deep golden in colour and smelling very complex: floral, honeyed aromas mingle with butterscotch, spices, apricot and mixed citrus peel.

CHAMPAGNE
“My only regret is that I did not drink more Champagne.” Lord Maynard Keynes, on his deathbed.
In celebration of the dynamic region that is Champagne, Qantas is proud to feature a range of Champagne styles in our program from some of the region’s finest and most respected Champagne houses including Charles Heidsieck, Taittinger, Dom Perignon and Krug. From the fresher, more delicate Chardonnay dominant or Chardonnay-exclusive ‘Blanc des Blancs’ styles, through to the weightier, more savoury Pinot Noir-dominant cuvees, our program showcases the diversity and quality for which this region is deservedly famed.
