Description:
Delicious ripe raspberry fruit, quite full-bodied but well balanced for drinking with or without food and bottled under stelvin to retain its youthful fruit.
Careful vinification involving forty-eight hours of cold maceration followed by a four-week, cool fermentation in stainless steel resulted in a wine that has captured all of the Syrah's characteristics. This care and attention to detail has produced a deep-coloured and deliciously fruity wine with intense raspberry character, light strawberry flavours and hints of lavender and violet. The light tannins from skin contact combined with crisp acidity give this wine nice length and structure on the palate. (12 x 75 cl)
Named after the Sundial Ranch, which was purchased by Fetzer in 1981 and still proveds wine which is used to produce America's second best-selling Chardonnay. Delicious flavours of tropical fruits such as pineapples and melons and a rich mouthfeel on the palate. (6 x 75 cl)
This Pinot Grigio is a great companion to chicken and fish dishes with tarragon, garlic and citrus sauces. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. (6 x 75 cl)
This delicious Cabernet has stylish cherry-fruit aromas with hints of toasty oak-spice, tobacco and cedar. It has a full, rich mouthfeel with cherry and blackcurrant fruit, and a long, soft finish that lingers with hints of coffee and vanilla. As of April 1999, the Valley Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon was named by Nielsen Scadata as the number one selling Cabernet in America. (6 x 75 cl)
This wine has fresh aromas of green apples, fresh grass, and lemon. In the mouth, the wine is bright and full, with clean flavours of tarragon, lemon, and green apple. Subtle hints of lime and fresh mint add complexity. The finish is clean and crisp. (12 x 75 cl)
