• 1. Pinot Noir
• Pinot Noir is on top of our list as the worlds
  most sought-after wine. While its origins are in
  the Burgundy region of France, it is grown now in
  many parts of the world. Most of the Pinot Noir
  wines are light to medium-bodied, dry and red,
  but they can be made into a lovely rosé, white or
  sparkling wine too. Pinot noir has perhaps the
  deepest complex character of any grape wine. Wine
  connoisseurs love to keep exploring its gorgeous
  colour, captivating body and fresh acidity along
  with complex aromas and taste. It can be paired
  with a large variety of food. No wonder, the soft
  and silky Pinot Noir is the first choice of a lot
  of people for a romantic date.

• 2. Cabernet Sauvignon
• Cabernet Sauvignon, originating from Bordeaux,
  France is a hybrid of the white Sauvignon Blanc
  grape and red Cabernet Franc grape and is also
  known as Sauvignon Rouge, Petit-Bouchet or
  Petit-Cabernet. Cabernet Sauvignon wines range
  from deep red to almost black colour, are
  full-bodied and have an astringent nature that
  helps the wine age well. Generally, it is dry,
  has medium to high acidity, tannins, good acidity
  and tastes of bell peppers, tobacco, black
  cherries, dark plums with hints of herbs and
  wood. Cabernet Sauvignon wines age very well and
  improve over time as they age getting more
  complex and elegant for 10 - 20 years and
  sometimes even for 50 years or more. It pairs
  beautifully with hearty food flavours such as
  steak, fillet mignon or mushroom risotto.

• 3. Chardonnay
• Chardonnay is one of the most popular white wine
  varieties and has also originated in Burgundy,
  France. Since it is relatively easier to grow, it
  is now found in several places globally.
  Depending on the ripeness of the grapes used,
  Chardonnays flavours can range from fresh
  citrusy or green apples to ripe peaches and
  pineapple. If it is oak-aged such as those made
  in mostly warm wine regions, Chardonnay could
  also develop hints of vanilla, creamy butter and
  coconut. If not oak-aged such as those made in
  mostly cool climate wine regions, it is usually
  lean, dry and has hints of mineral taste.
  Chardonnay has moderate acidity and is best
  paired with light, creamy, lightly spiced foods.
  Avoid Chardonnay with acidic foods such as
  tomatoes, as it could give a more sour taste to
  the wine.

• 4. Syrah/Shiraz
• Syrah wine is also known as Shiraz wine. It is
  said to have originated from the Rhône Valley,
  France. It is usually a full-bodied dark-coloured
  wine with medium to high acidity, high tannins
  and a bold palate of blackberry, blueberry,
  plums, smoke, black pepper and earthy flavours.
  Syrah also has strong aromas of blackberry and
  oak along with slight hints of ripened fruit. As
  Syrah is full of bold complex flavours and has a
  strong aroma, it is best suited with bold, robust
  dishes like barbequed game meats, roast lamb,
  braised short ribs etc. It is preferable to serve
  Syrah in a Bordeaux wine glass at slightly less
  than room temperature and decant it before
  serving to experience the full range of flavours
  and aromas.

• 5. Sauvignon Blanc
• Sauvignon Blanc was originally grown somewhere in
  the Loire Valley and Bordeaux, both located in
  France and it is well-known for its
  characteristic light body, green herbaceous
  flavour and lively acidity. It is usually very
  dry, but some winemakers give it a sweet taste by
  adding residual sugar. The aromas typically range
  from gooseberry, grass, bell peppers, asparagus,
  peach or passion fruit. Sometimes, Sauvignon
  Blanc is oak-aged to get a lusher, rounded
  mouthfeel and creamy texture. It is very
  refreshing to drink and best served chilled.
  Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with light and
  herb-seasoned dishes like garden salads, Thai
  cuisine, sushi, brie or camembert cheese etc.

• Bosman Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Sauvignon Blanc 2021
