Cabrials Viognier: White flowers, lily, luscious stone-fruits like apricot, and ripe white peaches with a steely mineral note. Full and round on the palate, with notes of honeysuckle, chamomile, and apricot. Followed by a nice weightiness, balanced with delicate acidity and a pleasant finish. Pairing Suggestion: Think exotic! Pad Thai, Chicken Marsala, Vegetable or Lamb Tagine, dishes with south-east Asian spices saffron, ginger, or coconut influences. Will be excellent in creamy sauces with fleshy prawns, lobster, salmon or even delicate white fish. Try it Brie and apricots, Comté, Gruyere, or other nutty cheeses! 13.5% abv.
French Ambush Cabernet Sauvignon: Candied black & red fruit, with toasted bread on the nose. While maintaining good structure, power and concentration of the tannins with sweet notes of toasted red pepper, a touch of flower and a finish of cocoa.Suggested Pairings: This is a light-hearted fun easy drinking Cab Sauv, which would pair great with burgers and fries on a Tuesday night to a romantic weekend date night, charcuterie board.
French Ambush Chardonnay: Aromas of white flower, ripe pear, peach, and lemon. On the palate it is full, but well balanced, with lemon, grapefruit, pear, stone fruits, and tropical flavours. 13.5% abv. Pairing Suggestion: great wine with roast chicken, creamy pasta sauce, or for your Netflix and Popcorn evenings!
Cabrials Carmenere: Intense violet floral notes with wild strawberry, black plum, blueberry aromas along with herbal camphor in the background.
