| SPARKLING & CHAMPAGNE |
| CHAMPAGNE |
|
A revered region of France near Paris consisting of 35000 hectares, of which 31000 is under vine. Traditionally a blend
of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, these wines spend years developing in their bottles, in cellars, under
the towns and cities of Champagne. When released from the cellar Champagne delivers a wine with the finest bead
or bubble and a texture and flavour spectrum to enchant all who indulge. Champagne is the ultimate expression of
celebration!

When you think of the finest red wines in the world, you often are thinking of wines made with Cabernet
Sauvignon. With its remarkable concentration of tannins, pigments and flavour pigments it will produce deeply
colored rigorous wines whose bouquet will only improve with age.
