SAUVIGNON SEMILLON “Sixty Clicks” (Aussie)
SAUVIGNON SEMILLON “Sixty Clicks” (Aussie)
£11.00
A belter of a wine – smashingly good and pacey. A breezy nose of squeezed lime, melons and fresh
pineapple. This has a bright, tangy palate of citrus fruit and crunchy cranberry with a fine white tannic
structure and tight finish.

PINOTAGE “False Bay” (South Africa)
Wine, Red
PRODUCTION
The grapes for False Bay Bush Vine Pinotage stem from a single vineyard of unirrigated bush vines in Stellenbosch. The attraction to this mature (planted in 1996), coastal, bush vine vineyard were the cooler temperatures and small, naturally balanced and concentrated berries. Made by Waterkloof's talented young Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard. Balanced grapes are hand harvested, fermented spontaneously with wild yeast and then raised in large wooden casks (or 'foudre' en Francais). The resulting wine therefore, is perhaps more 'Pino' than 'Tage'. No additions other than sulphur as a preservative. Grown, made and bottled in South Africa. Vegan friendly wine. False Bay - Real Wine, Coastal Vineyards, Sustainably Farmed, Hand Picked, Naturally Crafted, Wild Ferment, Cask Aged.
TASTING NOTE
Wild yeast fermentation, low yielding bush vines and ageing in large French oak foudre inform this richly-fruited, yet savoury and satisfying Pinotage. Plummy aromas with a faint hit of barbecued meat. The palate is full and rich with slightly rustic yet moreish tannins and an impressively long 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.
