Cheeky Monkey is a premium country-of-origin wine kit. Like the monkey, get cheeky and thumb your nose at the traditionalist, follow your own path to great wine!

WHITE WINES

AUSTRALIAN CHARDONNAY - Australian No Wood Shar-don-EH
CRIKEY! NO WOOD! No worries, this great white will have all the ‘Sheilas’ wanting to get Cheeky!! This wine is a true reflection of the climate it comes from. Chardonnay’s many unique flavours are enhanced by the rich red soils and warm Aussie sun. You will enjoy hints of apple, pineapple and tropical fruit. A great wine with such seafood dishes as butter-soaked lobster and smoked salmon. It’s even great with chicken from the ‘barbie’, smothered in a creamy alfredo sauce.

GERMAN GEWÜRZTRAMINER - German Gu-VURTZ-tra-meaner
HOW SWEET IT IS TO HAVE A WINE LIKE THIS! The little MONKEY with ATTITUDE is at it again with this off-dry white wine from Germany. A pale, yellow colour catches your eye while floral, spicy aromas fill the air. The wine’s real character is evident in the taste where semi-sweet fruit flavours of peach and apricot continue into a persistent finish. The spicy notes on the nose and tongue create an ideal match for oriental dishes, smoked salmon and or mildly spiced foods.

SOUTH AFRICAN SAUVIGNON BLANC - South African Sew-ving-NYOHN BLAHN
THE AFRICAN BEAT!  A pale straw colour is complimented by aromas of such CHEEKY tropical fruit as green pineapple, guava, pears and light herbal notes.  This light to medium-bodied sipper is a great beverage on a hot day because of its crisp, green apple flavours and refreshing finish.  If you insist on having it with food then try matching it with a salad, lightly battered fish, and or poultry.

WASHINGTON STATE PINOT GRIS - Washington State Pea-no-GRE
President Washington would even GO APE over this great new product! The lush soils and cool climate of the American North-West bring out such CHEEKY smells and tastes as pear, white peach and pineapple. However, the real attitude of this wine comes through at the end. Great body, zesty acidity and a refreshing finish make this an amazing choice on its own or with light pasta dishes or a shrimp and chicken dish.

RED WINES

AUSTRALIAN SHIRAZ - Australian Sure-AZ
ACE! The ‘BLOKES’ will love it! Here’s a wine that all your ‘mates’ will be begging you for! Shiraz is what Aussie wine is all about, big and bold! Shiraz like the “Land Down Under” is dry and intense with lots of ATTITUDE! This wine has flavours of plums, black berries and black currants that are complimented by a peppery finish which is a result of the addition of toasted oak. This zesty choice serves well with beef tenderloin and grilled pepper steak.

CHILEAN MALBEC - Chilean MALL-beck
THIS VINO IS MUY BEUNO!  This is a bright ruby red wine with smells of cherry jam topped with hints of chocolate. For some Cheeky ATTITUDE, taste and see the well rounded flavours of cherry and mint mix with structured acidity before its beautiful smooth finish.  For ideal tastiness, meal suggestions include poultry or pork dishes but this wine is so Cheeky that it could even be tried on its own at a slightly cooler than room temperature.

CHILEAN MERLOT - Chilean MAIR-lo
YO, YO, YO, THIS IS ONE TASTY MAIR-LO! A deep brick-red colour along with rich fruity aromas of blackberry and plum heighten your senses before diving into this South American treat. The real CHEEKY-ness of this wine is found in the taste where flavours of fruit, cedar, earth and spice join to create a well structured wine with moderate tannins. For some Chilean attitude pair this wine with native dishes that include roast beef, lamb and or pepper stir fry!

CHILEAN PINOT NOIR - Chilean Pea-no-NWAHR
CRY NO MORE HERE’S A GREAT PINOT NOIR! Intensely aromatic, with notes of violets, rose petals and red berry fruits. A CHEEKY choice for that special person in your life. This wine offers a violet colour and a nice medium body with notes of toasted vanilla on the nose and the palate. Show what your made of by serving it with grilled chicken pasta!

SOUTH AFRICAN CABERNET SAUVIGNON - South African CAB-er-nay Sew-ving-NYOHN
THIS WINE WILL AWAKEN THE INNER SPIRIT IN YOU! With a deep red colour and aromas of strawberry jam, leather and plum this wine will surely warm your heart.  The ATTITUDE becomes evident when you taste it and experience full flavours of blueberry, strawberry and black cherry before it finhishes soft and easy.  Ideal food pairings consist of tomato based pastas and red meats but for a nibbler, try it with 3-6 Year Old Cheddar.
