Tasting
Note : |
The latest vintage of this fruit driven Cotes du Rhone from Louis Bernard. Made from predominantly grenache grapes with syrah, mouvedre and cinsault added to the blend to give more aromatics and depth of flavour. This wine is medium bodied with juicy plum and cherry fruit flavours on the palate. A great alfresco wine.

The Cotes Du Rhone red is the jewel of the Louis Bernard range. It is a blend of grenache, syrah, carignan and cinsault grapes. The bouquet is of wild black fruits and well incorporated woodiness. The palate is rich with fruity, liquorice notes, supple and round. Drink now or can be cellared for 4 to 5 years.

Note : |
| Riesling is the outstanding grape of the Rhine region, the noblest and finest in Alsace, close to the German border. This one is superb, with its bouquet of flowers and lemon blossom and its rich palate which is full bodied and fresh and dry on the finish. A natural partner to grilled fish and white meats. |

| Rebgarten means ‘Vine Garden’, the terroir is located within the district of Gueberschwihr. This riesling is hand-picked and displays a hawthorn fragrance on a lively, fresh flinty background. The wine is racy with definite finesse and hints of white peach. The taste is fresh and classy, ample and well-balanced with notes of lemon and mandarin. The finish is long and minerally. |

Phillipe Zinck is only in his twenties but we believe he is a superstar in the making. His wines display an amazing purity of fruit with racy lime, mineral and floral aromas. Impeccable balance, finesse and a seamless finish. Try it with seafood or white meat dishes.

A step up in quality, this attractive riesling is full bodied and very more-ish. Quite floral on the nose, the palate explodes with flavours of limes, lemons, minerals and hints of spice and white pepper. It is beautifully balanced, is elegant and has a nice, long finish. Excellent with grilled fish and caviar.
