Chardonnay
Buttery with oaky overtones and fresh fruit flavours such as apple, pear, citrus and melon, Chardonnay is extremely versatile. One of our most popular varieties for its richness and easy drinkability, this wine is best enjoyed in cooler weather with upscale meals. Full-flavoured dishes which have been grilled, roasted, or sautéed pair well with this wine. White meat, seafood, cream sauces and cheeses including Provolone, Gruyere, Brie and aged Cheddar accent this Chardonnay nicely.
Pinot Grigio
A fantastic summer wine, Pinot Grigio is light-bodied and dry with the crisp flavours of honey, wildflower and smoke. It is perfect for casual entertaining and light Italian foods. This wine is particularly unique because, although a white wine, it possesses many of the characteristics of red wine on the dinner table. Pinot Grigio pairs well with traditional white wine fare like seafood or chicken, but it can be served with so much more. Veal, pasta, and soft cheeses all make fantastic accompaniments to this wine. Camembert, Feta, Oka and Swiss are especially nice.
Riesling
Rich and sweet, Riesling boasts the intense flavours of fresh pear and apricot offset by bold floral and honey undertones. Perfect to serve at casual gatherings or as a sipping wine. This wine is a perennial crowd pleaser. Riesling also makes a good dessert wine as it is one of the few white wines that pairs well with chocolate. It works well with most bold cheeses, from the rich tanginess of Havarti to the sharp, blue-veined profile of Stilton.
Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp and clean, this wine combines the smoky flavours of apple, grass and olive with a bright acidity. A medium-to-full bodied dry white wine, Sauvignon Blanc can be heavy or light. It is similar to Chardonnay but leaner. Its acidity lends it a certain versatility that allows it to pair just as well with thick stews and sauces as it does with fresh salads, spicy foods and cream sauces.
Cabarnet Sauvignon
A full-bodied, dry wine with very little oak. Flavors of cassis, dark red berries, cedar, oak, violets, vanilla and sometimes chocolate make Cabarnet Sauvignon the most popular red wine in the world. Ideal for formal sit-down dinners and cooler temperatures, Cabarnet Sauvignon pairs well with full-bodied flavours such as roast lamb and wild game, sauces such as mustard, pepper, or red wine, and firm, ripened cheeses such as Edam, Cheddar, and Gouda.
Merlot
Fruity and rich with flavours of black cherry, plum, vanilla, oak, violets and hints of cedar, Merlot is a juicy but dry wine with a velvety texture that makes it extremely friendly and easy to drink. Suiting a wine range of palates, this wine is perfect for romantic dinners, informal gatherings and cocktail parties. Serve this versatile wine with roasted red meats, salmon, duck, and mushroom dishes. Pasta with red wine and tomato sauce goes equally well, as do mild cheeses. Both complement this wine’s smoothness very nicely.
Pinot Noir
Full-bodied and smooth with a velvet texture, Pinot Noir is deep and dark with hints of cherries, raspberries, strawberries, plums and spice. Juicy but dry, this wine is perfect for intimate gatherings or romantic dinners. Given its unique flavour pattern, Pinot Noir is an excellent accompaniment to game birds, poulty, mild red meats, and oily fish such as tuna and salmon. Strong and flavourful cheeses such as aged Cheddar and Stilton also complement this wine nicely.
Shiraz
Flavours of mixed berries, black pepper, anise and vanilla tannins are tempered with a heavy oak in Shiraz. Spicy and dense with highlights of mint. This wine is an intense and full-bodied gem with a bold colour and full-fruit mouth that is especially well-suited for formal entertaining on cool evenings or dinners by a fire. Shiraz is best matched with foods that are just as bold as it is. Aged cheeses, hearty stews and roast meat are ideal companions.
Zinfandel Blush
Light, crisp and refreshing with a pale rose hue, Zinfandel Blush combines the delicate flavours of strawberries and raspberries with sharp floral notes and a hint of spice to make a wine that is easy to drink and perfect for warm weather entertaining. Serve with fruit, olives, seafood, shellfish, poached fish, steamed chicken, and salads to complement its flavour best. Mediterranean foods and other similarly spiced flavours also accent this wine nicely as do soft, slightly sweet cheeses such as Brie.
