March
GRAND CRU INTERNATIONAL CHILEAN MALBEC- Chile has ideal growing conditions for this full-bodied wine. Complemented by warm spice notes, Malbec boasts aromas and flavours of ripe blackberry and blackcurrant. The addition of Merlot GenuWine Winery Grape Skins creates a chewy, deep rustic red wine.
GRAND CRU PINOT GRIS- Also known as Pinot Grigio. Dry with overtones of green melon leading to a crisp, clean finish. A bouquet of honey and herbs completes the experience.
6 WEEKS
CRU SELECT CHILEAN CARMENERE MALBEC CABERNET-This former Restricted Quantity wine is a classic example of the spicy nature of the Cabernet Sauvignon, high alcohol producing, rustic qualities of Malbec and the deep colour of Carmenere. Smooth tannins grace the palate followed by blackberries and spice.
SELECTION LIEBFRAUMILCH- A popular German classic with a pronounced floral bouquet and a perfect marriage of sweetness with a slightly dry finish, this startling wine complements lightly spiced Asian foods.
April
GRAND CRU MERLOT- A smooth rich wine, medium in colour, tasting of blackberry and currants. You'll note a hint of green olive in the nose.
VINTNERS RESERVE MEZZA LUNA WHITE- Mezza Luna (Half Moon) is Vintners Reserve's great white, full, round and flavourful, with big fruit flavours and aromas. Mezza Luna gives you body and complexity within the 28-day kit category.
6 WEEKS
SELECTION VIOGNIER- The intense fruitiness of this wine suggests sweetness, but it shows a surprisingly dry and aromatic finish. It can display hints of jasmine, honeysuckle, kiwi, mint, orange blossom and even mango! It's soft but strong character makes it excellent sipping wine.
SELECTION AUSTRALIAN CABERNET SHIRAZ- The blend that made Australia famous. Cabernet Sauvignon's structural intensity perfectly complements the ripe fruit and chocolate flavors of Shiraz, for rich, complex and hearty red wine of outstanding character. Big, bold and dark, a luxurious treat.

Q.How long should I store my wines after I bring them home from the Wine Works? -Richard W. Cranbrook
A. Improperly stored wine can go off remarkably quickly, which is why our 100% satisfaction guarantee is only valid for 3 months after the wine has come ready to bottle. The major things to avoid are rapid or frequent temperature changes (and remember prolonged cool storage can lead to wine diamonds), direct light, and vibration from motors.
Properly stored, the 4 week wines should still be consumed within 1-1.5 years, the 6 week and 8 week wines within 2-3 years.
