DELUXE CASE

Thorne & Daughters Rocking Horse

The initial orange blossom, peach and burnt sugar aromas give way to more exotic wax, rosemary, caraway and sea-shore notes. It is layered and complex, and evolves beautifully in the glass. The palate is fine, structured and rich with flavours of quince and tea-leaf that settle into a long finish.

Pairs with

Creamy Mussels, Fish Dishes, Most salads

Clos Malverne Sauvignon Blanc

Full and dry with well balanced acid. Tropical fruit, flintiness and hints of asparagus and figs on the nose that all follow through to the palate. Drink now to really appreciate the fruitiness.

The Liberator ep 8

Semillon - Beyond the periphery of South Africa's conventional vineyard region lie great vinous treasures, resigned to anonymity; forgotten, abandoned or just simply undiscovered. It is, the mission of Rick, our intrepid Cape Crusader, to seek and liberate these rare wines, consigning them to to the table of the most inquisitive and discerning imbiber.

Pairs With

Most red meats

Annandale Cavalier

Bordeaux style with shiraz oozes spice & black fruit. Big & sturdy yet balanced & smooth with lots of life after 7 years in the barrel.

Neil Ellis Shiraz

Medium bodied, cool climate Shiraz, in which balance is more important than power. The wine is fresh and vibrant showing red fruit and perfume aromas and some dried herb notes. The palate shows bright fruit with hints of white pepper, spice with a good structure and grippy tannins to finish. Restraint use of oak.
