wine flight
Cru Tavel “Les Hautes Roches”, Cellier des Chartreux, Gard, 2021, France
Grenache, Syrah, Carignan (tomato)
The colour is very deep, typical from the traditional rosés. The nose is rich with blackcurrant and blackberry fragrances. The mouth is generous with a beautiful round and fruity palate, and a mineral hint.
Etna Rosso “Circeno”, Terrazze dell’Etna, Sicilia, 2014, Italy
100% Nerello Mascalese (seabass)
This very complex wine develops sulfuric notes from the volcano soil, candied citrus undertones, cherry and mulberry fragrances with a touch of marzipan to bring sweetness while the acidity balances the body.
“Cuvée Classique”, Le Vieux Pin, Okanagan Valley, 2020, Canada
100% Syrah (duck)
On the nose, delicate violet and ripe black fruits fragrances are to be expected. The wine offers opulent blackberry and blueberry flavours, blended with a delicious chocolate finish, whilst the barrel ageing will bring roast and herbs undertones. The texture is silky with soft tannins, very persistent.
or
Pommard Village, Domaine Virély-Rougeot, Côte d’Or, 2020, France
100% Pinot Noir (veal)
To discover is a very fruity palate focused on plum and redcurrant. The acidity of the wine brings a lot of freshness when its round texture brings balance and length. As the vintage was very warm, expect a touch of tannins.
Marlborough Botrytis, Greywacke, 2022, New Zealand
100% Pinot Gris (sinodun hill set cream)
The wine is very balanced and offers a delicious exotic fruit taste, a honeyed texture with flower undertones and nuts fragrances along a beautiful herbal nose.
or
Moscato Rosa “Schweizer, Franz Haas, 2022, Italy
100% Red Muscat (blackcurrant)
With a beautiful and vibrant ruby red colour, the wine delivers complexity and outstanding balance. The nose expresses intense aromas of roses combined with hints of cinnamon, orange peel and cloves.
Full and elegant on the palate, it envelops with its sweetness and very fine tannins.
