wine flight
Grünhauser Rielsing, Maximin Grünhaus, Mosel, 2021, Germany
100% Rielsing (beetroot)
Racy citrus fruit, notably lime and grapefruit, alongside white floral aromatics. Refreshing and perfectly balanced.
Baroness Nadine, Rupert & Rothschild, Cape Coast, 2023, South Africa
100% Chardonnay (halibut)
A bold and complex chardonnay that expertly combines fruit characteristics with oaky spice and rich texture. Clove cardamom and vanilla on the nose leading to buttery cremainess on the palate.
Bourgogne Oka, Cyprien Arlaud, Burgundy, 2021, France
100% Pinot Noir (pork)
Fruit-driven elegance and savoury complexity in one glass. South Africa’s answer to Red Burgundy.
or
Art Series Shiraz, Leeuwin Estate, Margaret River, 2021, Australia
100% Shiraz (duck leg)
Robust and jammy. Dark bramble fruit and cassis take the lead with roasted meat and smoke in the background.
Liqor de Tannat, Familia Deicas, Juanico, 2020, Uruguay
100% Tannat (chocolate mousse)
Juicy, confected red fruit: wild strawberry, cherry, black raspberry. Light chocolate notes on the finish. Fine tannins provide structure to this classic Vin de Liqueur.
or
Apasionado, José Pariente, Rueda, 2023, Spain
Sauvignon Blanc (yellow peach)
Cooked tropical fruit, notably banana, alongside toffee, caramel and molasses. A long-overlooked style that over-delivers on texture and flavour.
