CABERNET MERLOT- WALLA WALLA, WAHSINGTON
LE22
Ready in 6 WEEKSCABERNET MERLOT
A classic combination. Robust Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and black fruit flavours while complementary Merlot softens Cab’s high tannin and acidity and adds juicy fruit and texture. The result is a beautiful blend showing aromas of black currant with hints of dried herb and toasted almond. The palate is stacked with layers of deep cherry, black fruit, baking spice and mocha. A concentrated and seamless blend with silky tannin.WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON
Walla Walla sits on Washington’s southern border, dipping slightly into Oregon. Cab and Merlot are widely planted here, where the long growing season allows these grapes to reach optimal ripeness. Hot days develop ripe fruit flavours while cool nights help lock in acidity, keeping fruit in focus. Cab grown here is known for being fruitier and less astringent and the Merlot shows a more boisterous body and rich fruitiness.SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Pecan & Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms

Grenache Carignan , Manchuela, Spain
Winexpert LE21 with grape skins
Ready in 8 weeksRELEASE DATE: APRIL 2022
MANCHUELA, SPAIN
The climate in Manchuela is ideal for reds; the inland
region has a continental climate with high daytime
temperatures and long hours of sunshine but is still
close enough to the coast to experience cool nights
thanks to Mediterranean winds. This temperature
swing creates favourable conditions for red grapes to
slowly ripen, perfectly developing tannin, colour, and
varietal character. The resulting wines show excellent
flavour, colour, and mouthfeel._______________________________________
GRENACHE CARIGNAN
Grenache Carignan – Garnacha Cariñena in Spanish –
is at once intense and harmonious. Deep ruby red
with alluring aromas of blackberry, spice, and leather
nuances. A provocative palate of black fruit, cherry,
red berry and plum with well-integrated oak and
accents of licorice and spice. Rich velvety
tannins, moderate acidity, and a long
savoury finish.Sweetness:Body:Oak: -
Macabeo Sauvigon Blanc, Manchuela, Spain
Winexpert LE21
Ready in 6 weeksRELEASE DATE: JANUARY 2022
MANCHUELA, SPAIN
Manchuela is framed by the Júcar and Cabriel rivers,
whose sediments make up the limestone-based clay
soils. Two large reservoirs to the north provide
irrigation during the very dry growing season.
Vineyards here are 600-1000m above sea level; the
altitude has a cooling effect and combines with fresh
Mediterranean winds to moderate the hot summer
days. This helps slow ripening, resulting in white
grapes that produce fresh, fruity wines with good
acidity.______________________________________
MACABEO SAUVIGNON BLANC
Macabeo and Sauvignon Blanc are perfect partners in
this bright and balanced blend. Together they show
aromas of citrus and tropical fruit, with soft white
blossom. The palate is lush and layered with
pronounced flavours of green apple, pear,
grapefruit and tropical fruit, with light notes of
honeysuckle and grass. Fresh and flavourful
with lively acidity, elegant complexity,
and medium persistence.Sweetness:Body: -

Winexpert LE21
Ready in 6 weeksRELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 2022
LANGUEDOC, FRANCE
This is the true home of Marselan; it was developed
here in 1961 and takes its name from Marseillan,
a coastal village near where it was first bred and
planted. Soils vary across the large region with
limestone and clay the most common. The
Mediterranean climate, with hot sunny days
tempered by cool sea breezes at night, makes the
Languedoc a perfect place for growing grapes.________________________________________
MARSELAN
A cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache,
this relatively young French varietal displays the best
characteristics of both parents. Marselan is deeply
coloured with a powerful nose of jammy red and
black fruits and spice. The palate delivers rich ripe
fruit flavours of blackberry, plum and black
currant with spicy notes, balanced acidity,
and well-rounded tannins. Supple,
smooth, and seductive.Sweetness:Body:Oak: -
