Smelling this wine, you are instantly saturated with lofty aromas of passionfruit sherbet and sweet florals. Asian herbs like lemongrass and Thai basil add a savoury backdrop.

ROSÉ SYRAH | 2020
Casablanca Valley
Organic Wine
COMPOSITION
100% Syrah
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
The grapes are harvested in the early morning to keep them bright and fresh. The fruit goes in whole cluster into the press and is then racked off to stainless steel tanks for cold fermentation before it is bottled.
2020 VINTAGE
An excellent harvest in the Casablanca Valley. The moderate temperatures during spring, without significant rains, allowed for good bud break and flowering. During summer there were no large diurnal temperatures, benefiting the ripening curve and helping maintain the freshness of the fruit in this zone. Harvest was pushed up by 10 days with respect to last year, and with lower yields that produced intense aromatics and flavors, producing fresh, intense wines with balanced acidity and a long finish.
"Pale copper color with aromas of pomelo, cherries and dried herbs. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a dry, savory finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap." - 90 points, James Suckling
Benriach The Thirty
BENRIACH THE THIRTY / Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Four Cask Matured, Natural Imparted Colour
This exquisite single malt has been crafted from peated spirit and four cask matured for at least thirty years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels, virgin oak casks and port casks from the Douro Valley. During long maturation Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke mellows and integrates with the fruit, malt and oak. After thirty years, rich layering develops into sublime honeyed smoke, further enhanced through multi-layered cask maturation. The whisky from each cask type, imbued with particular flavour characteristics, is then expertly married together to create an exquisitely harmonious single malt, layered with dark fruits, rich walnut and velvety oak spice with a long, complex, smoked honey finish. All in perfect balance.
Colour: Mahogany
Nose: Stewed plum, baked orange, smoked walnut and cinnamon cocoa
Palate: Dark fruit, manuka honey and chocolate raisin, with a long and complex smoked honey finish
Smoke Level: Complex

Benriach The Twenty Five
“Rich baked fruits, honeyed malt and a caramel smoke finish elevate the sumptuous, rich flavour of this four cask matured expression.”
- Rachel Barrie, Master Blender
A richly sumptuous single malt, interwoven with mellow smoke and a masterful curation of oak. After twenty five years, Benriach’s sweet Speyside smoke caramelises and is enhanced by four cask maturation in sherry, bourbon, virgin oak and madeira wine casks. This exceptional single malt will appeal to drinkers of richly matured sherry cask whisky, offering more intriguing layers of flavour with the use of three other cask types and mellow layers of honey malt and caramelised smoke.
Benriach The Twenty One
“A beautiful reflection of the landscape around Benriach. A real sense of mountain oak spice, fruit, creamy malt and elegant layers of smoke.”
- Rachel Barrie, Master Blender
At twenty one years old, Benriach takes on an elegant character, elevated by long maturation, four cask types and the combination of our unpeated and peated styles. The characters of aged bourbon, sherry, virgin oak and red wine casks intertwine to imbue layers of lush orchard fruit, toasted pinewood and a honey smoke finish. An exquisite and rare smoky Speyside malt.
Chateau d’Anglès Grand Vin Blanc 2017
Limpid, pale yellow wine with golden highlights. Rich and complex nose, with a blend of white fruits and flowers, fresh and sweet spices and honey, nuts. Plentiful, structured and creamy mouth unveiling a lovely aromatic intensity. Long and fresh elegant finish.
Fresh and fruity when young, gaining more complexity after 5-10 years. Potential of 15-20 years. Drink as an aperitif with marinated sardines. Perfect with fish, veal or poultry in sauce, as well as more spicy dishes. Excellent match with cured cheeses. Decant a few hours and serve at 14°C. If served too cold, the wine will not develop its full aroma.

First Drop Vivo Adelaide Hills Arneis 2021
This is the ultimate summer cleanser. Forget your G&T, this Arneis from the cool climates of the Adelaide Hills will quench and refresh. Citrus and lime zest with a hint
of nashi pear and minerality.
But this wine isn’t just an aperitivo tease. Its purity of fruit, zippy persistence and finely textured finish make it the ‘perfect match’ for a feast of dishes.
Colour: Pale straw with tinge of green
Nose: Nashi pear and passionfruit with a hint of lime
Palate: Nashi pear and pithy fruit avours dominate, with lime zest and minerality, making the palate long and zingy.
"From a parcel in Kersbrook, this has aromas of lemon blossom and wet stones with a gently herbal edge. The palate has some lees-derived texture with a compact and lively feel. Crisp and gently grippy with a dry, lively and tangy apple and lemon finish. Drink now. Screw cap." - 92 points, James Suckling
