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.
![[New!]](images/smallnew.gif) 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.
