LE MONDE CHARDONNAY
With an arresting straw yellow color and savory body, Le Monde Chardonnay is a wine that’s as expressive as a painter. Dry and fresh in the mouth, with a finish that boasts excellent minerality and layered spiciness. It’s ideally paired with our selected recipe—but this wine also plays well with a variety of appetizers, cold meats and cheeses, seafood and pasta.

SLINGSHOT CABERNET
Round and polished with a touch of youthful tannins. The tasting experience is not unlike the sling weapon which it’s name after. This ‘slingshot’ rears back, before bursting forth in an abundant thrust of dark fruit with brooding, underpinned notes of plum and smoke. Medium-bodied and complex, yet not overpowering. Slingshot really hits the bull’s eye.
