What is the ‘must try’ red wine from East Meets West?
Gerard Bertrand Chateau Hospitalet La Clape AOC (retail: RMB350). A beautiful blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mouverde from the south of France. This is a very elegant wine with blackberry aromas and a beautiful finish.
What is the ‘must try’ white wine from East Meets West?
A new arrival in my portfolio: Domaine Gobelsburg Gruner Vetliner 2009, from Kamptal, Austria (retail: RMB210). Very fresh and delicate with a hint of gooseberry. It offers incredible value and has the characteristics of a typical Gruner Veltliner
What is the ‘must try’ value wine from East Meets West?
The best value for money in the EMW portfolio is Pikes “The Red Mullet” from Clare Valley, Australia (retail: RMB140). It is a ripe smooth red. It is good for friends who are catching up or as an everyday drinking wine, and is an absolute bargain at this price.
Our new sparkling, Cuvee Jean Babou Brut Blanquette de Limoux AOC, from Limoux in the south of France is also very good value. It is made with the champenoise method and retails for only RMB140. It offers the taste of Champagne for a very reasonable price
