Plus 10% off all those on the tasting table, enjoy!
On the tasting table this weekend.....
Reds
2005 Gaia, Grosset, Clare Valley: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend produced from the highest vineyard in Clare Valley, at an altitude of 570 Metres. And it shows, such is the freshness and purity of the fruit. A wine of such ripeness yet restraint, finesse and exuberance; a style seldom seen in Australia. A monumental wine from ones of the worlds best producers - £27.50
2007 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Boisset: Beautiful example of Burgundian Ponot Noir and particularly of the 2007 vintage. Fresh lush strawberry fruit and floral undertones with a classic hint of wild mushrooms. This is one for drinking now and 20 minutes or so in the fridge brings out the youthful and vibrant fruits even more - £12.95
Whites
2009 Margaret River White, Cullen, Western Australia: Vanya Cullen believes that great wines are made in the vineyard, hence the conversion of her vines to organic status. This fragrant, zippy blend of Sauvignon, Semillon, Chardonnay and Verdelho is delicious by itself or with a bowl of mussels - £12.95
2008 Marlborough Classic Riesling, Framingham, New Zealand: Entising white from Marlborough. Bouquet of perfumed, floral aromatics of jasmine and honeysuckle greets you, while the palate offers flavours of lime and orange citrus, stonefruit and mineral. The residual sugar in the wine is balanced with a backbone of firm, natural acidity giving a long, dry finish. Excellent with curries and fusion food - £11.95

Wine tasting and offers in Canterbury...
Every Thursday or Friday, we will be sending an e-mail detailing the wines we will be sampling for the weekend. We will also be offering a 10% discount on purchases of these wines. To kick us off, feel free to pop in this weekend to try these:
Reds
* Mendoza Bonarda, Colonia Las Liebres: Bonarda is normally used as an unremarkable blending variety in Italy but in this part of Argentina, it really comes into it’s own as a varietal. Lovely vibrant colour and lively damsony and other bramble fruit on the nose - £7.95
* Merlot, Lyeth, Sonoma Country, California: Silky smooth Californian red with abundant flavours of plum, wild berry, currant and hints of mint and spices - £9.95
* Great Southern Cabernet Sauvignon, Plantagenet: Great finesse here with just the right amount of age behind it to make it perfect for drinking now. Silky mulberry fruit with hints of tobacco and cedar - £16.95
* Margaret River Red, Cullen, Western Australia: Predominantly Malbec with a proportion of Merlot. Biodynamic viticulture is practised on all the Cullen vineyards in order to maximise the flavours in the grapes by improving and sustaining their unique environment. Bright ruby red in colour with vibrant perfumes of dark fruits, blackberries and plums. On the palate, plenty of juicy blackberry and black cherry fruit with touches of toasty oak and spice. Well balanced with rounded tannins and a long finish - £13.50
Whites
* Secreto Viognier, Colchagua, Chile: Aged on its lees, this attractive Viognier displays lifted aromatic notes of ripe quince and pear followed in the mouth by layers of papaya and lemon-meringue pie over a bright, racy acidity imparting impressive structure and length - £11.50
* Petit Chablis, Domaine Gerard Tremblay: Excellant example of good Chablis. Unoaked and delightfully fresh and crisp with a clean mineral edge - £12.50
* Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, Shaw and Smith: Nice rounded Sauvignon Blanc from Shaw and Smith, one of Australias best producers of this variety. Beautifully balanced and displaying mouth-watering flavours of lemon and grapefruit in abundance - £12.50
