German Müller-Thurgau
Müller-Thurgau (Moo-lehr Tirr-gow) Delicious flavours apricot, green
apple and peach aromas of Riesling, and the early ripening qualities
of Silvaner.A great sipping wine, it’s a perfect choice for potato chips
(there’s nothing like a crisp glass of Müller-Thurgau and some
crunchy chips!) but mostly it’s a very satisfying wine to quench a
thirst in good company.
Chilean Malbec
The hot dry climate allows the grapes to reach excellent ripeness,
and lush fruity characters, making an intense, black wine. A thick-
skinned grape full of colour, tannin and flavour, Malbec makes
wines of great power and character, with blackberry, plums, tar,
red pepper, sweet cherry, spice, licorice and deep bittersweet
notes, almost like unsweetened chocolate, or espresso.
Aromas of ripe tropical fruit and crisp green apple with subtle
undertones of oak. A medium-bodied wine with a lemony
finish. A superb wine along side stuffed turkey and chicken
dishes.
