LYRIC

VARIETAL : Lyric 2006 - Sauvignon Blanc, Cape Riesling, Chardonnay

DESCRIPTION: An off-dry blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Cape Riesling, Chardonnay, its floral, tropical flavours trip off the tongue with enchanting ease, tempered by notes of freshly mown grass and tangy figs.

Beautifully balanced fruit and acid make this a deliciously approachable wine that will lift any lightly flavoured dish.

DREYFUS ASHBY NOTES: This is the perfect wine for consumers who are want something a bit more structured then White Zinfandel but still retaining the good fruit flavors and easy drinking style.

DUET

VARIETAL: Duet 2002 - Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon

DESCRIPTION: A blend of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon Nederburg Duet hits the right note with those seeking a young, medium-bodied "ready to drink" red wine with the option to mature to greater benefit.

Just the right balance between wood, fruit and tannins add to the wine's appeal. Amongst others, this was achieved by leaving 30% of the wine in large oak vats for nine months to mature to perfection.

The result is an eminently drinkable red wine that has a rewardingly complex flavour despite its lively freshness. Enjoy with a cold buffet, spicy but not extra hot dishes or pasta. Or be different and drink chilled with a summer braai!

This wine has a vegetal character, but tropical fruit flavors are just as dominant. Intense flavors and aromas, lively acidity and a warm finish make this an ideal match for oily foods. Imported by Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

2002 Nederburg
Shiraz
Western Cape
A Best Buy

On the nose, plum and juicy berry are joined by cocoa powder and vanilla. With ir, grilled meat aromas emerge. The palate starts out a bit sweet with vanilla, but quickly picks up fruit, spice and charred meat notes. All this in a package that is soft without being simple.
