Complete the occasion with a bottle masterfully matched. These crowd-pleasing vinos are sure to delight guests and bring together all the flavors on the table, spice up your experience and reinvigorate your family tradition.

Simonsig Chenin Blanc After 43 vintages, the first wine released by vineyard founder Frans Malan in 1968 is now reaching new levels of popularity worldwide. And for good reason: intense tropical fruit salad flavours that include hints of apricot, pears and kiwi mix with a natural acidity and lingering freshness that pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like our appetizer.

Ventisquero Queulat Chardonnay One of the joys of our sumptuous main course and accompanying side dishes are their complexity, to the degree that they pair equally well with both reds and whites. For traditionalists who favour whites with their poultry, this fresh and sophisticated Chilean chardonnay delivers rich structure and balanced acidity. A delightful aroma that evokes tropical notes of papaya and mango mixes with notes of honey and vanilla and delivers a fresh, fruity finish.

The Ned Pinot Noir

Louis Bouillot Rose

Reds with hen? Absolutely, if you choose a young, light wine. New Zealand delivers a perfect choice in the form of this pinot sourced from Marlborough’s South Valleys’ deep clay and loamy soils. Aged 9 months in French oak, this delivers a classically warm and rich palate and a smooth finish and pairs beautifully with fowl before gaining the smokiness that comes as it ages.

Berries, chocolate and sparkling wine are the perfect trifecta. For a spectacular finish to your holiday meal, elevate the fabulousness of this dessert by pairing it with a brilliant salmon-pink rosé from Louis Bouillot. Fine bubbles tickle your nose with hints of developing black currant and strawberry notes which mix with a nice acidity that helps to cut the richness of the cheesecake.

The Winehouse, located in Kenaston Common, puts together Covet's pairings. Their attention to detail and genuine interest will exceed your expectations. Pop in to try something special.
