The colour is clear & bright, with a hint of green. The nose is clean & fresh with expressive granadilla, grape fruit, gooseberry & black currant characteristics. These flavours follow through onto the palate which has a lovely creamy texture
- the result of extended lees contact & the higher Semillon portion. The ideal wine aperitif but best enjoyed with food. Refreshing summer time wine, it pairs well with salads & lighter meats. Richer seafood & cheese platters make it work through autumn & winter.

Atkin 96! IWC Gold. DWWA Platinum. The Seven Flags Chardonnay 2018 is a great combination between elegance & concentration. The wine shows a light hay hue & the nose is expressive with notes of fresh citrus zest which is complimented by stone fruit & hints of oak. The palate is an exciting combination of crisp citrus fruit with great complexity, concentration & hints of oak in the background. The wine is elegant with a long & lingering finish. Very fortunate to have had four very exceptional successive vintages for Chardonnay. With the 2015 vintage Paul Cluver produced a very elegant Chardonnay that was very tight with great freshness. 2016 was a vintage with great opulence & more richness. The 2017 vintage gave us a combination of characteristics of both the 2015 & 2016 vintages. ...

The essence of a great Pinot noir is the purity of fruit & the structure of the wine. This wine has this essence, substantiated by its natural acidity. The colour has a wonderful luminosity, reminiscent of ripe cherries. The nose holds a combination of red berry, spice, mushrooms & dark chocolate. The palate is a continuation of all found on the nose. Structured & poised, with a tantalising mineral core. The natural acidity makes it a perfect partner with a diversity of dishes. Game fish, game birds & venison work very well, as does grilled beef & strong, hard cheese. ...

Enigma Verte is an outstanding, unfiltered premium absinthe made from a combination of aromatic herbs & plants, including grande & petite wormwood, anise, fennel & hyssop. It uses a grape-base alcohol & is bottled at 72 degrees centigrade, in order to hold its natural green colour & present its aromas to the fullest. Made by following the distillery's own technique of distilling each plant separately, blending the resulting full alcohol distillates & then finishing with an 'esprit vert' ('green spirit'
- a natural maceration of additional plants in grape spirits, including veronica, a.k.a.'speedwell'
- adding tea-like aromas) which is mixed in during the final colouring stage of production. It louches beautifully, & is complex & intense. Sure to please those who are searching for a spicy, yet traditional absinthe. It represents one of the best quality/cost values in modern traditional absinthes. Enigma Verte is the new name for Verte de Fougerolles. The label has been revamped with a design that celibrates the combination of mystery & Art Nouveau that defines the spirit of absinthe. The absinthe remains exactly the same, only the name & look have changed. Why has this been done? Because of a continuing expansion into multiple international markets, it was found that many customers who couldn't speak French were having trouble pronouncing & remembering the name ' Fougerolles!'
