Champagne taste without the Champagne price? This one’s for you!

Kate’s Wine of the Week: A stunning Blanc de Blancs from the Western Cape—crafted just like Champagne but with a uniquely South African twist. 🍾 Made from 100% Chardonnay, it’s aged 5 years on lees for richness and depth. Think green apple, citrus, toasted hazelnut, and a creamy, textured finish.

Indulgent yet effortless, perfect for celebrations or just Friday night fish & chips. 🍽️✨

🍇🤔 Did you know Syrah is the same as Shiraz?

From South Africa, long, hot summer days, cooled by late afternoon breezes, chilly, wet winters and decomposed granite and shale combine to provide the perfect terroir for Andreas’ award-winning Syrah. Small, dark and flavoursome berries are at the heart of this noble cultivar, transformed into magnificent wine in their cellar.

Our Kate says: "This is an outstanding wine from a tiny estate. It's really gorgeous rich and powerful but not overblown - just well made and gets better with every new vintage. One to have with something special."

Still celebrating Lunar New Year?

We’ve got some pairing recommendations that will knock your socks off - for all the right reasons!

1️⃣ Riesling (Off-Dry): Its slight sweetness and bright acidity balance the heat and bold flavours of dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, or spicy Sichuan cuisine 🍑🍋

2️⃣ Pinot Noir: Light-bodied and fruity, it pairs well with Peking Duck, Dim Sum, and dishes featuring soy sauce or mushrooms, complementing the umami without overpowering 🍒🍂

3️⃣ Sparkling Wine: Champagne or Prosecco's crisp bubbles cut through the richness of fried or fatty dishes like spring rolls, dumplings, or crispy pork belly, keeping your palate refreshed 🥂✨

Cheers to exploring these dynamic pairings! 🍷🥢

🍇 Meet the Producers: Gizella

Here's a snapshot in time: enjoy a blend of three villages and eight vineyards of Furmint and Harslevelu fruit, picked from vines between five and 50 years' old and then whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel.

A fab introduction to dry Tokaj with a waxy palate full of peaches, pears and linden flowers with a long, mineral finish.

Try this with Lemon-roasted chicken, raw oysters and other shellfish, spicy fish stew, Moussaka, creamy pasta dishes or roasted bell peppers stuffed with lentils.

Cheers to discovering the wonders of Furmint! 🥂

Whisky or Whiskey? 🥃

It depends on the country of origin:

👉Whisky (without the "e") is used in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Canada 🇨🇦, and Japan 🇯🇵
👉Whiskey (with the "e") is used in Ireland 🇮🇪 & the United States 🇺🇸

But since it’s Burns Night, the correct spelling is whisky! 😉
If you’re looking for a the perfect wee dram, here’s one of our must tries from the Islay:

Isle of Raasay, Single Malt Scotch Whisky R-02.1 (70cl, 46.4%) £60.00
It's a lightly peated single malt balanced with rich dark fruit flavours. Inspired by some older style Hebridean single malts 👌
