Cheeky MonkeyHave you ever had a wine-snob drive you bananas with their
over-the-top analysis on how wine should taste? Let’em try your Cheeky
Monkey and show’em how anybody can make a great wine with ATTITUDE! |
|
White Wine
| HOW SWEET IT IS TO HAVE A WINE LIKE THIS!
The little MONKEY with ATTITUDE is at it again with this off-dry white
wine from Germany. A pale, yellow colour catches your eye while floral,
spicy aromas fill the air. The wine’s real character is evident in the
taste where semi-sweet fruit flavours of peach and apricot continue into
a persistent finish. The spicy notes on the nose and tongue create an
ideal match for oriental dishes, smoked salmon and or mildly spiced
foods. Alc./Vol. 11.5% Sugar Code: 2 (with Sweet Reserve) |

| CRIKEY! NO WOOD! No worries, this great
white will have all the ‘Sheilas’ wanting to get Cheeky!! This wine is a
true reflection of the climate it comes from. Chardonnay’s many unique
flavours are enhanced by the rich red soils and warm Aussie sun. You
will enjoy hints of apple, pineapple and tropical fruit. A great wine
with such seafood dishes as butter-soaked lobster and smoked salmon.
It’s even great with chicken from the ‘barbie’, smothered in a creamy
alfredo sauce. Alc./Vol. 12.0% |
|
| President Washington would even GO APE
over this great new product! The lush soils and cool climate of the
American North-West bring out such CHEEKY smells and tastes as pear,
white peach and pineapple. However, the real attitude of this wine comes
through at the end. Great body, zesty acidity and a refreshing finish
make this an amazing choice on its own or with light pasta dishes or a
shrimp and chicken dish. Alc./Vol. 13.0% |
|
| THIS WINE WILL HAVE YOU DRUMMING TO THE
AFRICAN BEAT! A pale straw colour is complimented by aromas of such
CHEEKY tropical fruit as green pineapple, guava, pears and light herbal
notes. This light to medium-bodied sipper is a great beverage on a hot
day because of its crisp, green apple flavours and refreshing finish. If
you insist on having it with food then try matching it with a salad,
lightly battered fish, and or poultry. Alc./Vol. 13.5% |
|
| DUDE, THIS WINE IS NARLEY!!! If there is a
wine that surfer’s would like then this is it. The warm California sun
and cool ocean breezes bring out the best in Riesling. Not to mention
that it is great to enjoy on the beach with seafood! This off-dry
Riesling is a light straw colour with aromas of citrus and floral on the
nose. On the palate you will enjoy flavours of crisp citrus fruit, honey
and apricots. For food pairings try salty dishes like asian cuisine and
antipasto plates. Alc./Vol. 11.5% Sugar Code: 1 |
Red Wine
| YO, YO, YO, THIS IS ONE TASTY MAIR-LO! A
deep brick-red colour along with rich fruity aromas of blackberry and
plum heighten your senses before diving into this South American treat.
The real CHEEKY-ness of this wine is found in the taste where flavours
of fruit, cedar, earth and spice join to create a well structured wine
with moderate tannins. For some Chilean attitude pair this wine with
native dishes that include roast beef, lamb and or pepper stir fry! Alc./Vol. 13.5% |
|
| ACE! The ‘BLOKES’ will love it! Here’s a
wine that all your ‘mates’ will be begging you for! Shiraz is what
Aussie wine is all about, big and bold! Shiraz like the “Land Down
Under” is dry and intense with lots of ATTITUDE! This wine has flavours
of plums, black berries and black currants that are complimented by a
peppery finish which is a result of the addition of toasted oak. This
zesty choice serves well with beef tenderloin and grilled pepper steak.
Alc./Vol. 12.0% |
|
| CRY NO MORE HERE’S A GREAT PINOT NOIR!
Intensely aromatic, with notes of violets, rose petals and red berry
fruits. A CHEEKY choice for that special person in your life. This wine
offers a violet colour and a nice medium body with notes of toasted
vanilla on the nose and the palate. Show what your made of by serving it
with grilled chicken pasta! Alc./Vol. 14.0% |
|
| THIS VINO IS MUY BUENO! This is a bright
ruby red wine with smells of cherry jam topped with hints of chocolate.
For some Cheeky ATTITUDE, taste and see the well rounded flavours of
cherry and mint mix with structured acidity before its beautiful smooth
finish. For ideal tastiness, meal suggestions include poultry or pork
dishes but this wine is so Cheeky that it could even be tried on its own
at a slightly cooler than room temperature. Alc./Vol. 13.5% |
|
| THIS WINE WILL AWAKEN THE INNER SPIRIT IN
YOU! With a deep red colour and aromas of strawberry jam, leather and
plum this wine will surely warm your heart. The ATTITUDE becomes evident
when you taste it and experience full flavours of blueberry, strawberry
and black cherry before it finishes soft and easy. Ideal food pairings
consist of tomato based pastas and red meats but for a nibbler, try it
with 3-6 Year Old Cheddar. Alc./Vol. 13.5% |
|
| YEE HAW FOR THIS GREAT WESTERN WINE! This
popular California blend of Zinfandel and Shiraz is quite CHEEKY because
it captures the western winemaking spirit of being big, bold and
beautiful. Zinfandel’s fruity red characteristics of raspberry jam,
cranberry, black cherry and licorice blend well with the black currant,
blackberry and pepper notes found in Shiraz. Grilled steaks or chops or
hearty beef stews make a perfect match at dinner time. Alc./Vol. 13.0% |
|
| THIS WINE WILL HAVE YOU SINGING ‘AMORE’
EVERYTIME YOU TRY IT! Blessed with the great colour and taste that only
a true Italian Valpolicella has, this wonderful red will have you going
APE! Aromas and flavours of plum and cherry makeup this soft and smooth
tasting wine from beginning to end. Great food pairings include red
sauce pastas and meat lovers pizza. Alc./Vol. 13.5% |
