The second white wine we have for you to try is Chateau Lafont Menaut 2005 from Pessac-Leognan in Bordeaux.

The red wine we have chosen to tempt you with is a classic from Barossa,
Grant Burge Cameron Vale Cabernet Sauvignon
This single varietal Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Grant Burge’s Cameron Vale vineyard. It is a refined wine exhibiting an elegant and complex bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, dark mint chocolate and spicy oak.

This is a full-bodied wine, but with a silky texture and velvety fine grained tannins.
