The Malbec Reserva from the Vinalba estate has previously won a Decanter award for its quality. Sourced from vineyards at the foot of the Andes, grown at different altitudes to achieve the perfect balance between tannin and acidity. This wine is ripe dark plum fruits, sweet tannins and dark chocolate and mocha. The flavours linger for a long time.

Food Paring

A full-bodied wine, yet with juicy tannins, this wine is best enjoyed with food. Peppered steak or lamb are ideal companions.

Domaine Dupré  2007 is a complex white from the Mâconnais region in Burgundy. To smell there are notes of peach and on the pallet it is  fruity in nature and gets its character from the French oak barrels of its origins. On top of the fruitiness there is a lovely buttery creamy texture with a trace of nut that is fantastically balanced with a citrus edge.  This is wine of many characteristics but in my opinion they appear to have got them just right.

Food Pairing

This wine is great with fish dishes, white meats and Italian dishes such as risotto or pasta.
