McHenry 3 AMIGOS Marsanne/Chardonnay/Viognier Magaret River Australia
Description: The primo amigo in this trio is marsanne, grown at the McLeod Creek and Calgardup Brook vineyards. Chardonnay is sourced from Rocky Road and the third amigo, rousanne, is grown at McLeod Creek. These vineyards lie in the southern half of the Margaret River wine region which has a strong maritime influence from the Great Southern Ocean. Three perfectly compatible grape varieties come together in a wine that is about texture and palate feel. The aroma opens with some slightly nutty, creamy characters showing the influence of barrel fermentation and time on lees. The palate really shines with lovely fine acidity providing a zingy freshness that allows the soft, generous flavours of the three varieties to reveal themselves through perfect integration. The finish is sustained with crisp acid, providing an exquisite lift. This is a beautiful, easy drinking wine that peels off new layers of flavour with each taste. (12 x 75 cl)

Castello Banfi PLACIDO Chianti DOCG
Description: In 1978 John and Harry Mariani, successful American importers, joined forces with Italy's leading enologist, Ezio Rivella; their objective was to produce top-quality wine on a scale never before attempted in Italy. Conte Placido is a member of the Banfi stable of wines and owe their phenomenal popularity to choice grapes grown in some of the world's premier wine regions. The brand inherited its name from a famous Sienese family, the Placidi, on whose vast estate some of the Placido vines grow today. The land was awarded to the family back in the Middle Ages and remained in the possession of its descendants until modern times. Placido Chianti is an uncommonly distinguished Chianti produced in the historic Tuscan hills of the delimited Chianti D.O.C.G. zone. A lovely red coloured wine with a firm, dry almost earthy bouquet. Ripe rounded berry fruit comes through on the palate while this wine has a dry, harmonious taste and enjoyable finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Lanzerac Estate Stellenbosch Merlot RSA
Description: The vineyards of Lanzerac are to be found in the quiet and utterly serene surroundings of the Jonkershoek Valley in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It was here that in 1958, following the French practice of combining wine farm and country hotel, that the Lanzerac homestead was transformed into a luxury manor. More recently, in 1991, South African businessman Christo Wiese purchased the Lanzerac farm and set about renovating the homestead and its land. In the process, the Lanzerac Manor and Winery was restored to its former glory as one of the region's most distinguished examples of Cape Dutch architecture. Wynand Hamman was appointed as winemaker and immediately set about replanting the vineyards and building a truly modern cellar. All wines are therefore made, bottled and produced on the 155 hectare country estate. Although this limits production capacity, it assists winemaker Wynand Hamman in concentrating on growing the right varieties for our unique terroir and to handle the fruit and wines with greater care and respect. Due to this quality-orientated policy we have helped pioneer the noble white varieties in South Africa and are proud to have received various national and international awards and accolades for our efforts. This Merlot has a deep and dark red colour while on the nose the wine shows the typical varietal flavours of blackberry, plum, chocolate and fresh cream. A slight hint of vanilla from the wood also shows on the nose. The wine is well balanced with a good tannin structure and the fruit-flavours give a lingering aftertaste followed by a slight oakiness.
