Chardonnay Neudorf 2012,

New Zealand
Chardonnay
A truly beautiful Chardonnay, frankly
one of the best weve tasted at this level.
The butterscotch, ripe green apple and
melon aromas pull you into the glass
which is full of ripe yet delicate stone fruit
flavours coated in creamy vanilla. Theres
plenty of freshness though which keeps
it beautifully balanced. If you deserve a
treat, make this it!
Turkey and stuffing

Cabernet Sauvignon Seleccin del

Enlogo Sottano 2011, Argentina
This wine has retained its title from last
year! Were not surprised though, because
if you were to go through a checklist
and tick off all of the components of a
great wine, this would tick every box. Its
incredibly elegant and supple yet drenched
in pure blackcurrant and cassis flavours
wrapped in a velvet coat. Think of it as a
top flight wine from Bordeaux - uncork,
decant, let it breathe a little and devour it
with a juicy steak.
