Barbadillo Cream Sherry Jerez Spain
Brilliant mahogany colour with attractive reddish glints. Aromas of pastries and wood appear on the nose. In the mouth it provides a pleasing silky sensation and a certain sweetness and provides a wonderfully long finish.SERVING SUGGESTIONSIts fruity aroma and intense colour make this wine an ideal choice to serve as an aperitif alongside nibbles such as cheese, nuts, olives and canopes. The pleasing and intense flavour is the perfect complement to white meat curries, roast pork, sauteed rice dishes with pines nuts and raisins or foie gras. In addition, it is excellent at the dessert course when matched with cured cheeses, raisin ice cream or chocolate with banana cream and nuts. Delicious!In order to best appreciate this wine´s special qualities, it should be served at an ambient temperature of between 12º to 15º, using a wine glass; this applies if drunk as an aperitif or if served with a meal. For a change, give it a try in a brandy glass with a slice of lemon.PRODUCTION AND AGEINGType of ageing: Biological and oxidativeSystem: criaderas and Solera (A dinamic system allowing the traditional blending of new wine with older wines)Ageing period: 3 yearsLocation of cellars: Sanlúcar de BarramedaAgeing cellars: Potro, Bonanza, Compañia and San GuillermoTotal casks: 2.541Type of cask: Typical Jerez bota made from American oakProduction process: This is a blended wine, carefully made from a combination of wines that have been subject to biological and oxidative ageing; this depends upon the body of the wine.

Pinotage Guillermo Swartland Painted Wolf South Africa
A bright, vibrant wine with spicy red berry fruit such as blueberry and mulberry, exotic spice and creamy vanilla, evident ripe tannins and a long finish. This wine drinks well young but will improve over the next 6 to 8 years, gaining more complexity. The grapes were hand-picked into small baskets and taken to the cellar. A portion was fermented in open bins and hand-punched four times a day. The rest was fermented in a rototank. No commercial yeast was used as these grapes ferment well with their own yeast. The wine matured in a mixture of French and American oak barrels for 14 months. Approximately 30% was new wood. Recommendation Deeply flavoured dishes. Peking duck, sweet & sour Pork belly, mushroom risotto.Suitable for vegansSuitable for vegetariansAwards: Decanter Medal Silver Platter's South African Wine Guide 4.5 starsPainted Wolf Wines is a quality boutique family business producing a range of commercially appealing specialist wines.
