The Lafaurie Peyraguey Grand Vin Blanc Sec 2022 is a stunning white wine hailing from the renowned wine region of Bordeaux, France. This vintage, produced in 2022, showcases the exceptional quality of the Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey estate. A pale golden hue shimmers in the glass, hinting at the wine's delicate yet complex character. On the nose, aromas of ripe peach, honeycomb, and lemon zest flood the senses, followed by subtle hints of vanilla and white flowers. On the palate, the wine delivers a vibrant and refreshing experience, with a perfect balance of vibrant acidity and rich, creamy texture. Flavors of juicy stone fruits, citrus, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This Grand Vin Blanc Sec is a true representation of the elegance and finesse of Bordeaux wines.
This is a newer world style of Chardonnay showing the elegance of fresh cool climate. Once harvested, the fruit was whole bunch pressed with the un-clarified juice that was fermented with inoculated yeast in seasoned French Oak Barriques. The wine by Paringa Estate was barrel stirred fortnightly during the eleven months of maturation and was sulphured early to retain fruit freshness & prevent malolactic fermentation. The bouquet of this wine is a mix nectarine, citrus/orange and complex sulphide solids aromas. The palate has similar fresh citrus & nectarine fruit flavours along with fine acidity. Chardonnay fruit combined with the complexity of barrel fermentation & maturation.
Paringa Estate The Paringa Reserve Chardonnay 2018
A fine and quite flinty modern expression of Margaret River Chardonnay. Finer and leaner it might be in some ways, but the unmistakable power and persistence of the region still triumphs. Complex mealy grapefruit and roasted nut characters on the nose, and a deep and richly intense palate power through to the finish.
A rare and truly special wine from Malaga in Spain. Vines 900 meters above sea level cling to very steep, schist slopes and produce fruit of great purity, acidity, and minerality. A delicately sweet wine, it is a wonderful and rare alternative to Sauternes.
Flor de Cana Nicaraguan rum is the world's most-awarded rum brand. Nicaragua is the world's most volcanic country, so the sugar cane that grows there possesses rich flavours like no other. The rum is unlike any other in quality. Flor de Cana extra dry white 4 year old rum is the oldest white rum available. A very crisp and flavourful, filtered aged white rum with a subtle and attractive, barrel-aged character. Finishes with a long fade of dry sugar cane and toasty vanilla.
