During the festival we will be tasting; White Chambourcin 2010 - This elegant dry rose evokes strawberries and raspberries on the nose, it offers a delicate acidity and a crisp clean mouth feel. The palate suggests strawberries, cranberries and citrus; Sauvignon Blanc 2011 - Guava, pineapple, passionfruit and kiwi fruit with subtle herbaceous tones. The mouth feel is silky and the palate extends with green apple accompanying the tropical characters; Chambourcin 2004 - The last few cases of this award winning wine will soon be sold. This is as smooth as a red wine gets, 04 was a drought year and now with the benefit of a few years of bottle age this light bodied wine is drinking beautifully; Reserve American Oak and Reserve French Oak Chambourcin 2008 - The American oak reveals a top note of cinnamon and white pepper, a velvety body and the lingering mulberry notes and clean finish. The French Oak; subtle more complex delicate layers of nutmeg and cedar overlying the forest berries, silken mouth feel and long spice and berry notes. This is a unique experience to contrast the effects that these oak timbers have on a wine; Prophetess Fortified Chambourcin 2009 - ‘All things about an old English Christmas with a hint of Dark chocolate’. Enjoy with good coffee, roast nuts and great conversation. Receive 20% discount on all wine sales on presentation of Discount Coupon.*
