Tasting note -Monowai Estate, Merlot, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand 2006
Deep crimson red in color, this merlot has rich blackberry and dark cherry aromas with just a hint of earthy spice and vanilla from French and American oak barrels. Silky tannins allow for a long smooth finish. This wine pairs wonderfully with hearty meat dishes such as lamb roasts or prime beef steak.
Tasting note - Monowai Estate Ltd. Sauvignon Blanc Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand 2008
Don’t let its clear, light-gold color fool you, this wine has intense aromas: gooseberry, passion fruit, white peach and lime zest gives it a refreshing citrus flair, adding complexity and length. This Sauvignon Blanc is full-bodied and has a rich palate, perfect for creamy seafood pastas or the rich flavors of Cantonese seafood dishes.
