Our Top 5 Wine Picks
1) E&E Black Pepper Shiraz
– Barossa Valley Estate (Australia)
Recognised internationally as one of the top Shirazs in the world, with a price to match. Limited amount in distribution, so grab it while you can.
2) Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque
– Perrier Jouet (France)
and
Taittinger Brut Vintage
– Taittinger (France)
Be selfish with these, and reserve them for only your closest friends.
3) Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
– Castillo De Molina (Chile)
A wonder of tannic complexity and berry flavours.
4) Chardonnay
– Gallo of Sonoma (California)
No need for accompaniments with its big, aromatic flavour.
5) Pinotage
– Two Oceans (South Africa)
South Africa’s hot new hybrid is smooth, but bountiful on the palette. The perfect “sit and chill” red.
