CHABLIS “Domaine de Motte” (France)

Ripe lemon on the nose. The palate is well balanced with fresh zesty fruit and a long citrussy finish,
remarkable elegance and finesse. Far superior than the name ‘Petit’ might suggest.

PINOT NOIR “Sierra Grande” (Chile)
Wine, Red
PRODUCTION
Our Pinot Noir comes from a small Hacienda in Maule. Traditionally fruit farmers, the Moreno Family diversified into wine. The story goes that after a Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot tasting, our winemaker Eric Monnin was served strawberries from the estate. He commented how delicious they were and if they could grow strawberries of this quality, then they must be able to grow Pinot Noir. Low and behold they had already begun working with the varietal and Eric tasted their beautiful Pinot Noir for the first time. The vineyards sit in the shadow of the El Dezcabazado volcano and the resulting soils are both rocky and fertile. Maule s in the southern part of the Central Valley and temperatures here are much cooler than further north. Pinot flourishes in this environment and enjoys the healthy conditions where it can usually ripen without damp. The cooler temperatures allow it to retain crucial acidity which helps provide balance to the ripe fruit. No oak is used.
TASTING NOTE
A delicate and elegant Pinot Noir showing ripe fruit flavours of plums and wild strawberries, balanced with subtle smoky notes and a deliciously lingering finish.

RIESLING – Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl
Wine, White
In 2006, Charles Smith started his eponymous range of wines, with the aim to create high quality, varietal specific wines true to the place of origin, at a price point everyone can enjoy. These Washington State wines are full of flavour, balanced and approachable, and have consistently garnered 90+ scores by leading industry critics.
Growing up just outside of Sacramento, California, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Charles began craving worldly travel at a young age, thanks to his Welsh mother and French father. Charles later moved to Denmark and while in Scandinavia, he spent the next nine years managing rock bands and concert tours throughout Europe, including the famed Danish duo, The Ravonettes. Wining and dining while on the road became a catalyst for his passion of wine, which ultimately triggered the career he has today.
A self-taught winemaker, Charles is a true artisan and pioneer in the wine world. In 2009 Food & Wine magazine awarded Charles Winemaker of the Year, and in 2010 Seattle Magazine recognised him as their Winemaker of the Year.
“Some people don’t think that food and wine pairing is that important, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Just like when you find the perfect pair of jeans, there is no other pair that will do. It can be good, but when it’s just right, you’ll never settle for less,” says Charles.

GRENACHE “Angels & Cowboys” (USA)
Premium Pink, Wine, Rose
Tasting Note: Flowers and citrus blossom on the nose, racy grapefruit and refreshing minerality in the mouth.
Food Matching: This dry Rosé is one of those rare wines that work well with vegetable dishes and spicy ethnic foods. Enjoy it with roast chicken, salmon, seared tuna, summer salads and any sushi from vegetables to strong fish, crab cakes, shrimp cocktails and ceviche.
Vinification: Angels & Cowboys Rosé was made using the traditional Provençal method. To preserve nature’s generosity along with old-world tradition, the grapes were harvested at 21° brix. This retained the youthfulness of the fruit, creating a wine style both vibrant and complex. The grapes were lightly crushed and left to macerate on their skin. Once the juice achieved its perfect pale pink hue and began to show fragrant phenols from the skin-contact, the juice was pressed off the must then closely monitored while it underwent a long cool fermentation. Upon completion of fermentation, the Rosé aged on its yeast lees for a little over 2 months, creating great depth and mouthfeel.
