Château Aydie - Tannat (2005)

Château Aydie
Tannat
Vignobles Laplace, Madiran, France (2005)

Dry start that quickly evolves into a dark sensuous fruit. This Tannat has all the character and elegance of the grape, with the slight French zing. Best decanted and let to breathe for the best body.

Gabarda - Rosado Seco (2006)

Gabarda
Rosado Seco
Spain (2006)

Dry, crisp, and fruity rosado seco. Ruby red in colour, this rosado mixes the body of a red wine with the lightness and sparkle of a green wine. Pairs very well with salad, fruit, and cheese. Delightful chilled, less-so warm. Perfect for summer.
