Sommelier's Classics

A classic 6 bottle selection from some of the World's leading fine wine regions.  Red Bordeaux, White Burgundy, Argentine Malbec, South African Chenin Blanc, an elegant and refreshing Albarino from Galicia and a charming Super Tuscan from Antinori.

2020 El Enemigo Malbec – Full bodied Malbec from Mendoza with darky berry fruit, violets, lavender, coffee and vanilla. Sweet with smooth silky tannins and a vibrant acidity.

2018 Il Bruciato, Guado Al Tasso – Approachable, food-friendly Super Tuscan from Antinori packed with soft supple black fruit, spice and tobacco (55% Cab Sav, 30% Merlot and 15% Syrah).

2016 Jean-Pierre Moueix Medoc Rouge – A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc with complex cassis, rich dark fruit, liquorice and spice.  Classic claret from a top Bordeaux vintage.

2018 Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc de Poirelotte, Laurent Roumier – La Poirelotte Blanc comes from a tiny 0.71 ha parcel of Chardonnay on chalky limestone slopes above Chambolle Musigny.  Elegant and aromatic with wonderful ripe orchard fruit, white flowers, spice and delicate hazelnut on the finish.

2022 Albarino, Zarate – Elegant and refreshing Albarino straight from the wild coasts of Galicia.  This has a beautiful minerality with vibrant citrus, creamy peach and apricot and a tingling almost salty finish.  A great match for seafood.

2022 Kloof Street Old Vine Chenin Blanc, Mullineux – Excellent Chenin Blanc from one of South Africa’s most exciting producers.  Pale straw in colour, this wine has a nose of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character.
