The Shaw and Smith Lenswood Chardonnay 2021 is a fine-boned Chardonnay that reflects the conditions of the vintage and the character of this unique vineyard site. A luxurious match with kingfish ceviche.

Wonderfully overlapping notes of lemon, grapefruit and lime zest very fresh, precise and fascinating, elegant but rich of later-summer flavours.

Chalong Bay Rum Tropical Notes Series - Cinnamon is a natural, fine spirit 100% distilled from pure first press Thai sugarcane and distilled with traditional French methods. Following this, it is vapour infused with cinnamon for a unique hit of flavour. Lighter than traditional rhum agricoles or cachacas, and more flavourful and fruity than molasses based white rums, it is particularly adapted to cocktails and mixology. The balance between lightness and its delicate sugarcane and floral aromas allows a wide utilisation in cocktail creation.

Made from an infusion of more than 20 different herbs, roots, and tree barks, the recipe from 1832 was by a Capucine monk named Vincislao who had prepared this elixir in 1700s. It can be enjoyed either straight or with soda, or in cocktails. Perfect after your meal as a digestive.

WinemakingAll fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed. The cuvee taille (first cut free-run juice) was settled naturally overnight prior to racking to a mix of stainless steel tank and large format old barrels for fermentation.Fermented and aged separately in small batch lots on settled lees for nine months. The blended wine then underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle. This wine has been aged for an extended period on its autolysing yeast lees for more than four years to garner richness and complexity to its innate elegance and finesse.Winemaker's notesThe protracted growing season allowed a drawn-out ripening, resulting in an uncommon richness of flavour tempered by the abundant natural acidity contributed by the season.A bouquet of nashi pear, glazed brioche, lemon cheesecake and Amaretti buscuit. Flavours of nougat, lemon rind, jasmine and chestnut underpin a palate of steely acidity with delicated bubble, fruit weight and earthy 'sur lie' characters providing textural accompaniement, richness and creaminess to the finish. An excellent match for freshly-shucked oysters or semi-hard cow's milk cheeses.
