German Riesling

The Region... Many wine enthusiasts would agree that Germany produces the world's finest Rieslings. Germany's most famous regions wind along its river banks. The vineyards along these slopes are among the steepest in the world. The country's slate infused soils perform dual functions of reflecting the warmth of the day back onto the vines from the setting sun as well as imparting the wines with the characteristic mineral tang for which German Rieslings are famous.

The Wine... Our Founder's Series German Riesling impeccably reflects the individuality of its region of origin's terrior. This classic Riesling features a beautifully expressive bouquet suggesting green apples, stone fruit and honeysuckle with delecate floral notes and a clever touch of mineraliness to give it a distinctly German indentity. Balanced on the palate, flavours of citrus, apricot and honey will engage your senses. This Riesling's lively acidity makes it a wonderfully versatile food wine. Serve as a aperitu with salty appetizers or paired with your main course of seasoned grilled chicken, fresh summer salads, Asian stir fry or ginger glazed pork roast.

Includes Sweet Reserve Pack. Sugar Code (1) with Sweet Reserve.

Australian Cabernet / Shiraz

The Region... Australian wine regions boast an abundance of sunshine and warm, dry climates. These favourable climates, combined with diverse soils provide ideal growing conditions for many grape varieties to produce the country's famous fruit forward wines. Australian vineyards are generally irrigated, allowing growers to control yields and produce excellent grapes destined to create premium wines, consistently each and every year.

The Wine... The blending of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon became popular among Australian winemakers in the 1960's. Our Founder's Series Cabernet / Shiraz combines the strengths of each varietal. The intensity and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the famous spicy fruit flavours of Shiraz come together to create a rich full-bodied wine that is warm and generous with soft, rounded flavours with a medium tannin finish. This superb red wine is ideally suited to BBQ fare, roasted lamb, marinated beef tenderloin and full flavoured pastas.

Includes European Toasted cubed oak.
