Prestige - Cellar Craft
California Reserve PINOT GRIGIO
We have added just enough Yakima Pinot Gris to our California Pinot Grigio to elevate the aromatics and finish of the wine to a level above the norm. The nose has a pronounced, refreshing citrus character with a back note of juicy peach. The mouth-feel is crisp with citrus qualities and the overall sensation delightfully lingers through a good finish. Begins to show harmony and balance after a few months and is usually consumed within a year. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif or with light chicken, fish or pork dishes. Works well with most Asian foods.
California Reserve CHARDONNAY
The 12 litre must pack contains California Chardonnay concentrate blended with flavourful Santa Barbara Chardonnay juice. We have included 30 grams of toasted French oak with the kit, however we recommend NOT using it. The “Naked” style focuses attention on the complex fruit character making the wine more refreshing and versatile. Grapefruit, green apple and pear aromatics dominate the nose. The medium body is clean and crisp with flavours of green apple and citrus which continue through the wonderful finish. The wine comes together in a couple of months and should be enjoyed within a year or so. Serve lightly chilled on its own or with seafood, chicken, pork or vegetable dishes. Best with foods that are not too heavily sauced.
California Reserve WHITE SHIRAZ
12 litres of must from California Shiraz, which received minimum skin contact is the heart of this wine. An all natural, 230 ml Flavour Reserve (featuring Viognier) is added after fermentation to add body, elevate the aromatics and create a just off-dry finish. The light salmon colour comes from the brief skin contact. The nose has complex layers of honeysuckle, strawberry, apricot and tropical fruit. On the palate, the wine is smooth and round with notable strawberry flavour and a suggestion of tropical fruit. Don’t confuse this as just another take on White Zinfandel! The wine shows well after a couple months of ageing and is usually consumed within a year. Serve lightly chilled as an aperitif or with light foods. Try it with chicken, salads, desserts and Asian dishes.

One of the favourites of the off-dry aromatic whites. Inviting aromas of tropical fruit, lychee and guava characterize this off-dry favourite.
