2010 Kistler Les Noisetiers Chardonnay
The 2010 Kistler Les Noisetiers is a big and wonderfully complex Chardonnay that screams California! It is full bodied and creamy with tropical notes of pineapple and peach balanced with caramel and vanilla. The mouth feel was smooth and plush and it provided a nice long finish. We paired it with garlic butter prawns & scallops with an outstanding result.

2007 Marimar Estate Mas Cavalls Pinot Noir (Doña Margarita Vineyard)
From the moment we opened this bottle, we noted aromas of black cherry and red currant alongside secondary notes of spice, earth and strawberry. A big, medium to full bodied Pinot with intense flavours of cherry and spice, without being overpowering. Very smooth, balanced and wonderfully complex amidst so many different descriptors! It’s showing no signs of breaking down and drinking beautifully now…so why wait?
