France – 2013 CHABLIS PREMIER CRU – RIVE GAUCHE – DOMAINE BILLAUD – Bin. 02
The secret weapon of this stunning Premier Cru for this game is its glorious wine citrus fruits and mineral flavours with a lean and steely tension. A definite winner for all Chablis lovers!

New Zealand – 2014 TARRAS VINEYARDS – MARLBOROUGH – RESERVE SAUVIGNON – Bin. 114
This sensational Sauvignon gained its strength partially from barrel fermentation and ageing in French Oak. Sadly, there are not many players like this supreme heavenly Sauvignon. Only 100 cases available!

South Africa – 2013 DE WETSHOF ESTATE – ‘THE SITE’ CHARDONNAY – Bin. 106
This wine distinguished by a remarkable complexity of flavours derived from the fine quality of grapes. An elegant game of lime and vanilla aromas rounded off with a nutty, creamy texture on the palate.

Argentina – 2006 JOFFRE PREMIUM CABERNET SAUVIGNON – Bin. 123
This mature, award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon from Mendoza’s stall is a powerful player with overtones of luscious red fruits and spicy peppers.

Australia – 2006 ANDREAS CLARE VALLEY SHIRAZ – Bin. 107
This premium Shiraz comes from the sun drenched Clare Valley in South Australia. It beats its rivals with the dark full-bodied berry flavours and hints of chocolate finished with a defeating crescendo of liquorice.

Italy – 2011 AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA – SELEZIONE DI FAMIGLIA – Bin. 134
No one else could represent the Italian team better than the award-winning 2011 vintage of Amarone Della Valpolicella. It’s undoubtedly the King of Italian Red. No foul play!
