Taylor?s Fine Ruby a blend of full bodied Port wines aged for around two years in large oak vats in Taylor?s cellars, or ?lodges?, in Vila Nova de Gaia.  

As they age, they gain smoothness and elegance while retaining their fruitiness, intensity and youthful ruby colour.  They are then blended together for balance and consistency. With its firm tannins and concentrated fruitiness, Fine Ruby is perfect for the classic port-and-cheese combination.

It is particularly good with blue-veined and richly flavoured soft cheeses.  It also pairs well with berry fruit and dark chocolate flavours and, like all red Ports, makes an excellent after dinner drink.

White port is one of our staff favourite drinks at Regional Wines and this one is a deliciously well balanced blend of white Portuguese grapes, Gouveio, Malvasia Fina, Moscatel Galego and Rabigato, often including other lesser known varieties as well. It is the Moscatel that expresses itself most in many white ports, with flavoursome hints of caramelised orange peel and zesty citrus sweetness. 

Deliciously good. Serve on ice or lightly chilled in a real glass. No thimbles, please.

The grapes used in the production of Dow?s Fine Ruby were a blend of traditional Portuguese varieties from the Douro Valley, such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cao. Dow?s Fine Ruby was aged in seasoned oak casks at our lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia for an average of 3 years, and bottled when ready to drink. Exuberant youthful fruit flavours make it perfect for informal drinking.

It's easy to forget the raging popularity of bag in box wine and its pivotal role in the early modern days of the New Zealand wine industry; back in the early 1990s it made up 70% of wine sales in this country and has since waned as bottled wine production has grown.

The quality of bag in box wine is, however, better than ever, and this wine is dry with fruity flavours and soft, low acidity, making it easy to drink and smooth.

Just a note on their storage: these boxes should be kept in a cool place, preferably the fridge, which will ensure they remain fresh once opened. They should also be consumed within a month of opening to retain maximum flavour quality and freshness.

Durif, also known as Petit Sirah is a red wine grape variety known for making juicy, plummy, tannic wines. The McManis Petite Sirah is bright, yet deep purple colour. The nose is ripe and fruity, with aromas of blackberry, toffee and a touch of clove. On the palate the wine is rich with dark berry flavours. This is a great example of a lesser known grape variety.

This is a rich, food friendly red wine from Sonoma County, California.

"The Crusher Petite Sirah is a deep, inky color with bold aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, and fig jam. The inviting aromas lead to a medium palate with a core of juicy fruit flavors, toasted hazelnut and baking spice notes. The wine spends 10 months in a combination of French, American and Hungarian oak, giving the final blend a soft texture with fine, well-integrated tannins."

-Winemaker's note.

This Chardonnay is sourced from Californian coastal vineyards. Fermentation and ageing is completed in French and American oak barrels, lending richness and toastiness. Lees ageing adds richness, creaminess and complexity.

?Beautifully integrated tropical flavors such as pineapple, mango and papaya, with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavors delicately intertwine with aromas of vanilla and honey to create depth and balance throughout. A hint of toasted oak and butter rounds out the long, lingering finish.? - Randy Ullom, Winemaster. 

Located in the Sonoma wine region of California, the name Chalk Hill comes from the unique volcanic soil of chalky white ash, which is a near perfect match for the planting of white wine varieties, like Chardonnay. The vineyards quest for quality has always been the basis for all their winemaking decisions.

This wine is balanced and bright with concentrated flavours of creamy lemon custard, poached pear, almond, and spice. Pair this Chardonnay with grilled salmon in a garlic butter sauce.

100% malolacitc fermentation - nine months on the lees in Hungarian oak 10% of which is new and 20% is one year old.
