THELEMAA tropical Thelema Sauvignon Blanc – lovely fresh melon & grapefruit flavours, with a full, grassy palate, all in

perfect balance.

LA MOTE Unaggresively refreshing lengthy apple, greengage flavours to dry finish. Distinct intensity of gooseberry, green apple,

lime & pineapple to reveal its varietal characteristics. A firm natural acid keeps the palate in balance with the 2.5g

residual sugar and ensures a lively freshness which is so essential for a dry aperitif-style wine.

PAUL CLUVER The colour is clear and bright, with a hint of green. The nose is clean and fresh with expressive granadilla, elderberry,

gooseberry & black currant characteristics. These flavours follow through onto the palate which has a lovely ceamy

texture – the result of extended lees contact.

MULDERBOSCHThe style is rich, with good mid-palate weight, ripe fruit flavours yet not forsaking feshness and mineral elements.

BOSCHENDAL RESERVE COLLECTION This wine shows classic cool climate characteristics. Opulent tropical and ripe pear flavours, together with mineral

notes on the nose. The palate displays richness and complexity with unique lime & capsicum undertones ending

with lingering mineral elegance. This is typical to the vineyards growing high in the mountain slopes.

zesty & mouth-watering.

and gooseberry. The palate shows fresh acidity, the fruit is concentrated, full and ripe with good minerality &

excellent balance.

FRANSCHHOEK CELLAR “STATUE DE FEMME” Expressive tropical aromas tinged with capsicum opening up to attractive cape gooseberry, grapefruit & pineapple

fruit flavours balanced by a lively acidity that follows through on a fresh finish of pleasing length. A hint of Semillon

completes the wine by filling the midpalate.

SAUVIGNON BLANCChicken and lamb preparations with pronounced flavours such as those with tomatoes sun dried coriander and

caramelized onions are splendid when matched with the tight minerally ‘green fruit’ character of Sauvignon.

Page 13: Royal India  Menu Sandton

CHENIN BLANCCashew and almond nut paste enhanced dishes, again those grilled in the Tandoor and

finished in creamy sauces with tomato & tamarind as well as the famous Butter Chicken and Dal Tadka are well suited to the crisp character of Chenin.

GROOTE POSTA bright, full-styled Chenin with strong guava and green apple flavours. A lively freshness is underlined by a very good

length & body on the palate. Excellent value for money.

KEN FORRESTERA youthfull fresh wine with quince & pear drop flavours. Earlier picked freshness shows on palate with crunchy green

apple and grapefruit flavours. Good mouthfeel and appetisingly tangy finish.

nose. On the palate, there is a core of fruit with hints of nuts and honey.

WHIITE BLENDSThe dry & off dry styles with little residual sugar are definite considerations to accompany our

skillfully spiced vegetarian dishes with subtle combinations of delicate & aromatic spices. Whereas the sweet blends are best matched with dishes which are fairly hot & liberally spiced.

HAUTE CABRIERE CHARDONNAY PINOT NOIRThis enticing blend of Chardonnay & Pinot Noir shows elegant fruit underlined by firm acidity. You will find an

abundance of zesty fruit - most notalbly white peach, lychee and red fruit - with a delectale full mouth feel and balance

complemented by orange rind and apricot follow through to a long, lingering finish.

whilst yung and lively.

CABERNET SAUVIGNONCabernets have a powerful mouth-feel to them so are best with strongly spiced lamb & red meat

dishes which are cooked in the Tandoor and wrapped up in highly spiced, but not necessarily chilli-hot sauces.

Page 15: Royal India  Menu Sandton

SHIRAZHot and spicy Chicken or Lamb or Fish Vindaloo is the perfect partners to a fully textured Shiraz.

PINOTAGE

RED BLENDSLamb and seafood curries as well as Madras are further enhanced by the complexity of the heavier blends. Subtly spiced Tandoor preparations with their inherent smokey character

are better suited to the lighter versions.

Page 17: Royal India  Menu Sandton

LA MOTTE MILLENIUMRaspberry from the Merlot and slight herbaceous from the Cabernet Franc along with English toffee from the oak

all combine in a harmonious way. The Malbec and Petit Verdot provide colour and spice. The palate is juicy and

rich, leaving a lingering dry finish.

and elegance.

dark chocolate and blackberry fruit on the palate. This wine has good length with a dry finish.

R 195

KANONKOP PAUL SAUERA traditional blend of approximately 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot, it is matured

in new 225 litre French Nevers barrels for 22-26 months. It is often described as more elegant than the straight

Cabernet Sauvignon.

R 1140

NEDERBURG INGENUITY Creamy-textured with a core of racy acidity and an amalgam of generous and enveloping fruit flavours enriched by

partial fermentation and ageing in wood. When well-chilled, the wine presents a crisp Sauvignon blanc profile but

when lightly filled the creamy oak vanillins come to the fore also displaying spice and floral characteristics.

PAUL CLUVERWinemaker Andries believes that the essence of a great Pinot Noir is the purity of fruit and the structure of the wine.

The colour of this wine is deeper than previous vintages - a beautiful garnet. The nose has delicate violet perfume aromas

combined with dark cherry, red berry and ribena berry. On the palate these characteristics follow through combining

with lovely aniseed, iodine saltiness. The fine grainy tannin adds to the allure of this wine which is more feminine than

previous vintages.

R 395

MEERLUSTIntense, vivid translucent youthful purple-ruby appearance. Lifted perfume on the nose with red berry fruit, musk, wild

and hints of savoury richness and spice and a pronounced minerality. Very pure Pinot fruit flavours on entry with red

cherry and musk flavours coupled with fresh acidity. The wine has layered complexity with great elegance and finesse.

Very fine lacy tannin on the finish.

R 520

HAMILTON RUSSELLOur Pinot noir is not overtly fruity, soft and “sweet” and it generally shows hints of that alluring savoury primal character

along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume.
