Carmenere 

Like Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère wine is a deep red, and has a rich aroma of spice and fruit. Unlike Cabernet Sauvignon, the tannins in Carménère wine tend to be much softer, and it is drinkable at relatively young ages. In recent years however, more and more wineries have begun to produce pure Carménère wine, full of cherry, earth and in some cases dark bitters.

Food Pairing: Carménère is divine with savoury dishes especially earthy stews and moderately spicy or even hot spicy dishes. It goes well with vegetables alone or meats and vegetables. It also handles spicy dishes off the grill perfectly.

South American White Blend 

Torrontes and Pinot Grigio from Argentina and Chardonnay from Chile make up this incredible South American blend. Torrontes is an aromatic wine with moderate acidity. Pinot Grigio smells like white fruit and jasmine and Chardonnay brings the straw, yellow colour, and a smooth pleasant finish on the palate.

Food Pairings: You could pair this delicious wine with poultry, fish, tofu or Autumn vegetables because they will not overwhelm the aromatics, flavour and acidity in the wine.

Red Sangria 

Sangria is probably the most famous and popular Spanish drink! Traditional Sangria is red wine with mixed fruit. Our Red Sangria is very fruit forward with flavours of pineapple, nectarines, berries, green apple and melon.  Serve well chilled and enjoy with family and friends!

White Sangria 

Light, refreshing, and an easy party drink for summer, white wine sangria is a fabulous way to entertain in style. This Sangria boasts tropical fruit flavours with subtle melon undertones. Crisp, light and fruity, enjoy welled chilled on a hot summer day!
