Rosette Media Tasting Panel Rating : 9/10 From 1 October to 15 November 2023, Man Fu Yuan and Irish Duck Company will showcase three 6-course menus, each showcasing some of the finest produce Ireland has to offer. Irish Duck Company is revered amongst serious food connoisseurs as the sole purveyor of the world-famous Silver Hill Duck in Asia. In partnership with Man Fu Yuan, Irish Duck Company recently introduced the exquisite John Stone Dry-Aged Beef and Pork products and it will be the first time that all three products will be presented in one menu in Singapore. Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan has crafted distinct set menus, each an opulent celebration of Irish cuisine, using the best of Irish produce from the Irish Duck Company and we had the brilliant opportunity of tasting and sampling some of their lovely creations before it opened to the general public and hotel guests, so we were simply thrilled when we hopped over one evening to meet the culinary and marketing team along with the folks from the Irish Embassy and IDC. Under the visionary leadership of Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan, Man Fu Yuan continually strives to deliver lovely culinary experiences and Chef Aaron's unwavering commitment to excellence is evident in his relentless pursuit of the finest ingredients and cooking style and this allows diners to indulge in uniquely crafted experiences that transcend the ordinary, setting Man Fu Yuan apart as a beacon of gastronomic innovation. Man Fu Yuan remains at the forefront of redefining the boundaries of Cantonese fine dining, guided by Chef Aaron's unwavering dedication to culinary perfection, and one of our favourite dining places for Cantonese cuisine in Singapore! Irish Duck Company, the exclusive distributor of the world-famous Silver Hill Duck in Asia, is renowned for providing the "wagyu of duck" to fine-dining establishments and luxury hotels globally. "In Singapore, Irish produce is relatively new and offers an exceptionally high level of quality. Ireland, known for its exceptional agricultural practices, boasts some of the world's finest produce due to its pristine land, abundant water resources, and advanced farming techniques. The meticulous care invested in animal breeding further ensures consistently high-quality products, reflecting the company's dedication to delivering excellence in every aspect of their offerings," shares Joel Lim of the Irish Duck Company (IDC), highlighting the partnership's aim to promote Irish meat and produce in the country with the support of the Irish Government. Alongside Silver Hill Duck, the Irish Duck Company is set to introduce the exquisite John Stone Dry-Aged Beef and Hampshire Pork in Singapore, marking the very first occasion where all three of these exceptional products will grace a single menu in Singapore. As such, Chef Aaron Tan has crafted three meticulous set menus that will be available to mark this beautiful collaboration, each representing an opulent celebration of Irish cuisine, super lovely! "In this exciting partnership with the Irish Duck Company, I am embarking on a journey to weave the rich tapestry of premium Irish meats into the intricate fabric of traditional flavoursand techniques. This collaboration offers an extraordinary opportunity to craft culinaryexperiences that seamlessly fuse tradition with international finest quality ingredients, offering our diners a distinctive taste of Ireland's finest brought to life in a Cantonese way." says Chef Aaron. He shares his passion on various statements as he takes us through our menu tasting for the evening. The artistry of Irish produce is brought to LIVE at Man Fu Yuan as they showcase their finest offerings from the esteemed Irish Duck Company through three exclusive set menus, each with a different symphony of opulent flavours. We sampled the Elegant Set Menu priced at $228++ per person, and were fascinated with the presentation, the taste, the ingredients, the style of cooking, and the way each dish was shared and a detailed explanation given, that depicts the tremendous effort put in my Chef Aaron and his team, in preparing the menu, which depicted each dish in a simple format on the tasting menu in 5 main headers (bolded). We are given a lovely welcome drink to prepare our palates first, and then we had our first course Appetizer, which comprise of the John Stone Irish smoked salmon flower, wasabi aioli, along with the Chilled cherry vine tomatoes with crab meat, and Chilled John Stone Dry-Aged beef aged-citrus honey soya sauce and sesame seed - the mix was incredibly tasty! For Soup, we had the Braised golden bird's nest with golden pumpkin superior stock; it was exquisitely presented and as a Cantonese who drinks superior soup on a daily basis, I can simply testify to the work executed in delivering this yummy soup, full of stock taste. The Bird's nest was separately added and we had the self-service option, so it gave us the opportunity to try the soup, with and without the Nest option. We then had the Vegetable which hit the right tasting notes with a wok-fried John Stone Irish lamb loin melangé with a good dice of Sarawak black pepper sauce and tossed with a humble Hong Kong kai-lan - the presentation and taste was sufficiently flowing with prime goodness. We truly immersed ourselves in the sublime tenderness of their slow-braised Irish Hampshire Pork Belly, which exudes a brilliant testament to the artistry of Irish gastronomy. For the Pork Dish, the Braised Irish Hampshire pork belly was tempted along with a South Africa 5-head abalone, which brought about a value distinction to the dish, as we revelled in the expertly prepared dish to taste the overflowing Irish marbling in the pork belly, just sumptuous beyond belief! When it came to the Noodles dish (as humble as it sounds), it actually consists of Chinese ramen (which was done with a decent al dente bite, as I am a noodle lover) with rock lobster (powerful), Silver Hill Irish Duck (which was blended and fitted well) along with superior XO sauce. We just succumbed to the enchanting aroma and exquisite flavours of their perfectly roasted-smoked Silver Hill Irish Duck, with that super fresh Lobster, marvellous! As we went to the last course of the menu tasting which was Dessert, it didn't taste or look ordinary, as you can assess and see that this "aburi-looking" Oven-baked mango pudding brought about a nice finish to the entire course; the overall menu fitted well and not super filling, but yet portioning was just nice, so we loved it! Immaculate! So patrons are encouraged to booking this limited time menu that is Available from 1 October to 15 November 2023 Lunch Weekdays 12:00pm to 3:00pm Last order 2:30pm Weekends and Public Holidays 11:30am to 3:00pm 1st seating: 11:30am to 1pm (Last order 12:30pm) 2nd seating: 1:30pm to 3pm(Last order 2:30pm) Dinner 6:00pm to 10:00pm Last order 9:30pm The limited time only set menus are available at Man Fu Yuan, InterContinental Singapore, from 1 October to15 November.

LAUNCHES IN SINGAPORE UNDER MAISON FERRAND A Distinct Blend From the Heart of Jamaica With Natural Spices Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum’s base is a blend of rums from two popular rum distilleries in Jamaica - Clarendon and Long Pond. Each represents the diversity of Jamaican rum and the traditional distillation techniques that turn the country’s humble homegrown sugarcane into Canerock’s signature expression. We were so amazed when we had a chance to sample it at the recent session at The Bar at 15 Stamford over at Kempinski Capitol Singapore - the right texture, the right flavour, not too heavy on the first introduction, terribly smooth and versatile with the right mix of flavours and spice to a nice decent finish! Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum is an exquisite blend of traditional aged Jamaican rums. Infused with a handpicked selection of natural spices and finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks for an extra layer of flavour. These casks carry distinctive candied fruit and honey notes, which lend to the rum’s full-bodied taste and lingering hints of sweetness. Each ingredient is specifically selected to bring a definitive flavour to Canerock’s Jamaican Spiced Rum. Madagascar vanilla pods complement the sweetness of the ex-sherry casks, Caribbean coconuts add an exotic creaminess, and Jamaican wild ginger contributes a spicy freshness. This careful curation leaves you with a rum that evokes notes of dark chocolate, creamy caramel, and a rich mix of spices with every sip. Just immaculate and driven to perfection with every sip! Versatility in Every Bottle Developed over three years with 90 different experiments to produce Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum’s current recipe, each spice is individually infused to ensure each level of flavour is done justice. Additionally, the vanilla used in the rum, harvested using traditional methods, is hand-pollinated by growers, so they are pretty sustainable in their ESG guidelines! Due to its unique, rich flavour profile, Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum is an unrivalled choice for all rum lovers. Whether you’re a purist looking to savour it neat or on the rocks or the experimentalist looking to mix it in a refreshing cocktail, Canerock’s Jamaican Spiced Rum is the ideal choice for all ocassions! Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum’s notable flavours make it an ideal match for both ginger beer and tonic water, which complement and bring out the subtler notes of the rum. This makes it a versatile addition to any home bar for when you’re looking to effortlessly impress guests with a punchy, sipping drink perfect for savouring in our climate. A final ode to the laidback Caribbean lifestyle that is encompassed in each bottle of Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum is the encrusted beech wood turtle on each bottle that is surrounded by ripples - giving the impression of a turtle floating carefree. Now Available Exclusively in Singapore Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum has made its grand debut in 36 select stores, available exclusively at CS Fresh and Cold Storage in Singapore, retailing at S$99. In addition to retail stores, rum aficionados can indulge in Canerock Jamaican Spiced Rum’s exciting flavour profile in cocktails offered at select bars in the coming months, including The Bar at 15 Stamford, Las Palmas Rooftop Bar, and Parliament Bar.

Origins & Background The Hair Shop commenced their creative hairdressing salon back in 1986, and they have a wide range of clientele, from celebrities and royalty to white-collar workers and students. The founders Sam Koh and Gina Lau met in their early 20s at a hair salon named Mosche (pronounced moosh), which was a renowned salon back in those days, and after several years, they left and started The Hair Shop. The Hair Shop, its staff and owners, strive for a constant reinvention of existing styles and techniques. They are always on the lookout for the latest products and treatment techniques, and often reflect on a way to weave in the old with the new. Even with the constantly changing fashion trends, expect to be given a hairstyle that will suit not just your style, but also your personality. Combined with their lengthy experience in the industry, customers can always rely on their expertise for a fresh look, and for thorough hair care. Personalities I spoke with both of them, and noted Gina's superb personality and her eagerness to please and exceed the creative expectations from their clientele, and also enjoyed speaking with Sam, who gave me a good sharing of his journey in the hair and design world, including interior design and art pieces which has shaped his creative mind. Gina built her career in the Singaporean fashion industry and is a respected and admired individual. She has travelled the world as singer Sandy Lam's hairstylist for various shows and concerts in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States, and her work has dominated Singapore's fashion magazine covers, being prominently featured in major magazines such as Her World and Female. She was also heavily involved in the Elite Asia Pacific Models Award in Shanghai in 2006.

Styled the Taiwanese singer Tracy Huang (黄莺莺)when she performed in Singapore, and followed to her shows in Hong Kong as well.

Styled the hair of the models for the annual cover of Her World magazine. She had worked with the late Tan Yoong, who was a very respected local fashion designer best known for his bridal gowns. For me, this collaboration was big deal for anyone working in this industry. Gina served as a guest judge for a hair competition in Singapore (I recall vaguely the name was “Golden Scissors”) 1989 Served as Dick Lee’s stylist for his Mad Chinaman tour and his wedding (to Jacintha Abishegandan) as well, among many, many other occasions. 2000s The whole shop worked on the Elite Model search in Shanghai, which was a huge show by the model agency Elite that flown in models from all around the world.They serviced all the participating models for their runway walks, and other appearances.

Gina’s cut from day 1 has always drawn positive comments from family and friends. Her care and colouring of my tresses through the years has been impeccable.

Overall the services and equipments of ‘Hair Shop’ are excellent" Cheryl Yap "I had the pleasure of being a client at The Hair Shop for almost 20 years, and I can confidently say that Gina is an exceptional creative director/stylist. Her passion for hair and dedication to her craft truly shines in every visit. Gina’s expertise and attention to detail ensures that every client leaves the salon feeling fabulous. I trust her so much such that my entire family visits her salon to get their hair done, and there’s never been once where she has disappointed. The warm and welcoming atmosphere at The Hair Shop, under Gina’s leadership, makes it a top-notch salon experience. I highly recommend Gina and her team for anyone seeking exceptional hair care and styling" Jocelyn Tay "For nearly two decades, Gina has been the mastermind behind my hair's impeccable style. Known for my meticulous standards, I have a passion for looking my best, yet I lack the time to keep up with the ever-changing hair trends. Gina has consistently stood as the guardian of my hair, displaying an exceptional ability to manage both its style and colour. What sets Gina apart is her deep understanding not only of my hair but also of my personality and style preferences. She has an uncanny knack for knowing precisely when to gently encourage me to step outside my comfort zone, resulting in fresh styles and new hair colors. My heartfelt appreciation extends to Gina, Sam, and the entire team at The Hair Shop. Each visit is characterized by their quiet confidence in providing exceptional service, making me feel at ease without ever becoming overbearing" Vincent and Gwen "When it comes to styling our hair and getting a hair cut, Hair Shop is the only place that we as a family have in mind. Vincent has been getting his hair cut for over 35 years while I have been a loyal and faithful customer for almost 30 years. As for Tristan and Iain- ever since they were born and now into adulthood. Gina and Sam have continued to be at the forefront of hairdressing all these years and look set to continue as leaders of their profession long into the future" Personal Testimony I had the good fortune of meeting both of them and working with them to create a brand new look, style and hair colour in my recent visit to their gorgeous salon! Gina advised me to maintain a certain look and cut for my hair, and Sam shared that I could actually adopt a new hair colour code 28, a blue-black metallic tinge to achieve a modern and trendy look - the result was absolutely stunning, wonderful and captivating and it earned many accolades and bravos" from my many fans in the media world!

Launch of the Signature Butler Service - for discerning Guest and Clients Introduction A luxury five-star hotel, with 403 guestrooms, set in the heart of a historic precinct, the InterContinental® Singapore is the flagship hotel of InterContinental Hotels Group in Singapore and winner of 2023 Best Hotel in Singapore by DestinAsian Readers' Choice Awards, 2022 Top 25 Luxury Hotels in Singapore by TripAdvisor and Singapore's Leading City Hotel 2022 by World Travel Awards. Deeply rooted in the arts and cultural districts of Bugis and Bras Basah, the hotel is well-positioned in proximity to established historical enclaves including Arab Street and Kampong Glam, so it's super convenient and accessible. Located just minutes away from Marina Bay and the Central Business District, the hotel is a short 20 minutes’ drive from Singapore Changi Airport, and offers easy access to the rest of the city with the Bugis Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train station situated just steps away. It is so convenient as the the adjoining Bugis Junction shopping mall (spanning over 200 retail and dining outlets) is just at its' doorstep. Drawing on the city’s rich heritage and multi-faceted cultures inspired by the surrounding locale, the 403-guestroom hotel exudes a residential charm that harmoniously marries luxury and elegance with hints of locality. Comprising a Main Tower that suitably blends heritage-inspired furnishings with modern-day comforts, and a Heritage Wing which is distinctly reflective of the Peranakan culture, all rooms and suites incorporate a touch of historic charm, and this is immediately felt the moment you step through the main entrance of the hotel, to the rooms, the corridors, and various facilities within the hotel. Signature Butler Service InterContinental Singapore’s signature butler service is available for guests of One-Bedroom Suites, Royal Suites, Ambassadors Suites and Presidential Suite. What is so incredible is the curated and personalized, end-to-end experience that comes with a pre-departure arrangement and information, to plan for my bespoke itinerary, evoking my senses, and a personalized guestroom experience at my suite. The hotel stay at the lovely Intercontinental Singapore, commenced with a chauffeured pickup from my starting location at Marina Bay Sands; my driver, Yao De, was on-time and came with a lovely Ipad showcasing my name, of course! He was friendly, courteous and helpful and all it took was 7 minutes to my venue. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the Head Butler Shirish (who has been taking my messages and making arrangements for me, 3 days before my arrival) along with my personal butler concierge Chia Yi, and together with her marketing colleague Zhi Yu and room division colleague Sushant, true feel of a Luxe VIP! I like that! The private butler service was a special one that just commenced recently; Shirish was earmarked from his many years of hospitality in Dubai to head the department, and he was already in contact with me 2 days before my arrival; my personal concierge Chia Yi had previous luxury butler experience so I knew that I would in good hands! I was escorted to my room where I was welcomed by Azfar, another butler and served the welcome drink, the Intercontinental Tea with Sour Plum, so refreshing with a nice cool towel, which I consumed with delight, whilst being brought around on a tour of my one-bedroom suite (69 square metres - so spacious and pretty big), awesome curated welcome amenities, wine and branded toiletries, with a wonderful plethora of a welcome greeting card, fruit basket, yummy snacks and a lovely bottle of Kressmann Merlot 2021, whilst doing my simple and personalized room check-in and briefed on my itinerary by Chia Yi for my 3 days - 2 nights hotel stay, and a welcome message as well from the General Manager, Andreas Kraemer. I noted the welcome pillow that was personally embroidered with our acronyms - nicely done - and so later, it was washed and ironed and given to me (so I can bring it home), and it was nicely presented in a tray, along with a gorgeous Peranakan-inspired name card holder, a passport holder and a lovely metallic-driven bookmark; so thoughtful the team from Intercontinental Singapore! The toiletries in the bathroom were amazing, and the scent on the bath gel, pleasant, and at turn-down, there were chocolates, a mist spray for the pillow, room and bedsheet and another eau de parfum roll-on from Maison 21G, packed in a pretty box and placed on the bed, along with a bedside mat, so thoughtful once again; Housekeeper Amy did an amazing job, by making sure that every fuss and every detail was accounted for, before handing over the room at each turn. Oooh, i love the plush bathmat outside the shower room, so fluffy, I almost wanted to buy it and bring it home! Intercontinental Singapore has 14 different room types, so my category was the one-bedroom suite; a haven of penthouse living in my luxuriously-appointed that is situated on Level 16 (highest level) of the hotel. The suite is bursting with natural daylight from floor-to-ceiling windows, and feature a plush living room, a charming bedroom. Throughout my stay, I had the convenience of easy level 1 parking status outside the main entrance of the hotel accorded to me, and when it was raining, Chia Yi came to pick me up with an umbrella, and always was on standby, attending to my every whim and fancy- truly characteristic of a luxurious top-notch butler service in every imaginable way! Enhanced Club Intercontinental Experiences The Private Butler stay comes with Club Floor Status "termed Club Intercontinental" so we had the privilege of dining at the Club level 2, for breakfast (which was a la carte by the Club menu) from 6:30am to 10:30am (so waking up late at 9:30am was perfectly alright), for tea time - from 3-5pm (with wonderful snacks, yummies, cheeses, fruits, nuts, ham and delectable pastries, puffs and scones, together with coffee, tea, juices, the full works, for evening cocktails time from 6-8pm, so lots to drinks from beer, wines, bubby, spirits, cocktails, along with cheese, nut, fruits, cakes, hot and cold snack platelets - just brilliant! Butler Kamlesh, was always present here, along with the Butler team, so I guessed I have met the entire Butler team, which is omnipresent and always great! Club InterContinental is truly the hallmark of the holistic InterContinental experience and is simply packed with sophistication and tranquility. As a Club InterContinental guest, one gets to enjoy the privileges and indulgences at the Club interContinental Lounge, a private enclave reflecting the local heritage, in this case, the holistic peranakan feel from personalised pre-arrival arrangements to tailored in-hotel experiences Cultural Immersion Recognising the importance of embracing local culture and immersing guests in the vibrant heritage of the city, Club InterContinental guests are gifted an opportunity to don upon the Kebaya – a traditional outfit that is associated with the Chinese Peranakan community; as they embark on a guided heritage trail on a journey of discovery of Singapore’s insider heritage stories and cultural experiences. Club InterContinental guests may participate in activities throughout their stay including batik painting and tile- motif design workshops during their stay, as part of the Club InterContinental’s monthly programme of activities. We wore a set of peranakan clothes and took lovely pictures with them all across the hotel, and they also have a tour that takes foreign private butler guests along a customized circuit around the neighbouring enclave, truly a hallmark of local Singapore peranakan hospitality! As a valued Club InterContinental guest, I was also offered the following exclusive privileged facilities, amenities and conveniences, including: Complimentary two (2) pieces of pressing per stay upon arrival 20% discount on laundry services during stay. Complimentary one 1-hour usage of meeting room at Club InterContinental Lounge per stay, subjected to availability (additional hour at $120+$) 20% discount on à la carte food items in all F&B outlets (excluding Baker & Cook, Chikuyotei) 10% discount on à la carte food items at Quaich Bar Wanderlust Priority reservations at our food and beverage outlets Complimentary local calls. We complied with the appropriate dress code so as to preserve the ambience of the Club InterContinental Lounge, and we were allowed to bring up to 3 registered guests to the Lounge, so this was awesome, to bring my important visitors and business associates whilst I need to have an important meeting during my stay at the hotel. EMS Wellness Indulgence As part of the in-hotel experience, we also experienced an EMS gym training by our trainer Tim; InterPulse Fitness partnered with Intercontinental Singapore to offer an Electronic-Muscle-Stimulation (EMS) training program. Led by an international team of professional coaches and adopted by pro athletes, the training gave us a high-intensity, whole body workout using low-frequency electrical impulses to stimulate muscle groups often missed in conventional training sessions, and it was absolutely fun, and certainly a fantastic workout! Held at the gym at InterContinentalSingapore, each EMS program is only 45 minutes but is equivalent to a four-hour-long workout while being gentle on your joints. The results are increased metabolism, strength and toning, weight loss and reduced fat, muscle gain and injury recovery, and we could feel the EMS pulses on our hands, thighs, ribs, stomach and back, truly rejuvenating, and a synthesized massage-fitness session, I call it! As the name denotes, EMS emits low-frequency impulses that reaches deeper muscle groups by contracting the muscles during the workout. EMS training is very safe since the electrical impulses are in a low frequency zone and not harmful to any organs. We felt improvement in our overall health, fitness level and overall wellbeing at the completion of our EMS training. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool located on the Roof Garden, Palms Champagne and Pool Bar serving snacks and refreshing cocktails and a 24-hour fitness centre, inclusive of Yoga Quiet Room, Yoga/Pilates instructors and Personal Trainers upon request and Sauna. With the establishment of the signature Butler Service, the Club InterContinental experience has truly set the benchmark for a butler service standard in Singapore; it truly blew my mind and made me crave for more, super unforgettable and awesome lovely memories, so much comfort, so spoilt! The entire experience absolutely embodies the epitome of luxury hospitality, caters to people like myself, having lived and worked across many cities in Asia Pacific and Europe, and befits my modern and discerning lifestyle where an immersive and deep hospitality experience becomes an innate nature of myself! Truly an unrivaled experience and amongst the very best in Asia Pacific!

Origins - Background and Introduction Ninth-generation winemaker Dominique Portet chose the cool climate of aptly named Coldstream in the Yarra Valley as home to the eponymous winery he founded in 2000. It was the culmination of a tenacious search for grapegrowing terroir to rival that of his native Bordeaux – but also the start of a new chapter in a winemaking story that has its roots in France in the early 1700s, and so the origins of this awesome lovely wine brand has its humble beginnings liked to the wineyards in France. Currently his son Ben Portet – generation 10 – heads the winemaking team, firmly observing the central tenets of this young yet historic estate: respect for tradition, understanding of site and an open mind towards contemporary practices that shape wines that are ever more refined and delicious. We had the wonderful opportunity to visit, taste, tour and sample the lovely variants from the different vintages from Dominique Portet, one lovely morning in July 2023. Dominique Portet - the Man himself Dominique Portet got his first whiff of wine at one of the world’s most illustrious wine properties: Château Lafite-Rothschild. It was here in Pauillac that his father, André Portet, served as régisseur (vineyard & winery manager). Dominique went on to earn his stripes at Montpellier University of Oenology before perking up morale as wine-buying adviser during compulsory military service. He later spent vintages in the Médoc, Rhône Valley, Provence and with Champagne giant Moët et Chandon, as well as in the Napa Valley at his brother Bernard’s Clos du Val estate. "I found fragrance and structure – most of all the structure reminds me of Bordeaux. The Yarra has a charm, a beauty that engulfs you. The wines are worldly." Since 1976 he has been a pioneer of the renaissance of Australia’s cool-climate wine industry, founding renowned sparkling wine house Taltarni in the Pyrenees and Clover Hill in Tasmania. In 2000 he embarked on his greatest adventure: the Dominique Portet winery in the Yarra Valley. Understanding a brand and comprehending a vintage, requires a good review of the terroir, the terrain, the climate and environment and along with it, the winemaker's style, training and cultural charisma that governs the delivery of a particular wine style, so aside from understanding the original winemaker of Dominique, we also take a look at Ben's training and wine style origins... Ben Portet - the new generation Along with the incredible lineage and pedigree that comes with being a 10th generation winemaker, Ben has benefited from the wisdom and experiences of many. That began with four vintages at the renowned Adelaide University finishing school of Brian Croser and Con Moshos at Petaluma in the Adelaide Hills. Internationally he has worked with Philippe Blanc of Bordeaux’s Château Beychevelle, in Reims with Louis Roederer and honed his skill with Syrah in Hermitage working with M. Chapoutier. His "new world" experiences include South Africa’s Stellenbosch Warwick Estate, as well as a stint in California’s Napa Valley artisan St Helena winery Vineyard 29. Since returning to the Dominique Portet Winery in 2008, he has not only continued 40 years of pioneering family wine craftsmanship in Australia, but also been a leading industry judge, completing the Len Evans Tutorial scholarship in 2017. The Label The arabesque form that adorns the labels is designed by celebrated Greek jeweller Ilias Lalaounis. The shape suggests grace, strength, purity of line. It symbolises the close bonds between generations, families and continents. The design derives from a pair of earrings worn by Dominique’s wife, Julia, who met the Lalaounis family when she was a student. Their friendship has grown over the decades. Ilias Lalaounis is the only jeweller to be welcomed as an associate of the Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France in Paris. He has boutiques in Athens, Paris, London, Geneva, Zurich, New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo. His work has been exhibited in New York, Washington DC, Paris and at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. Range of Wines A diversity of wine varietals are present at this wonderful and lovely venue. NV BRUT ROSÉ Dominique Portet was instrumental in highlighting Australia's potential for sparkling at Clover Hill, Tasmania. That dedication continues with this highly acclaimed sparkling. It's light, fresh, and, as James Halliday notes, "A totally delicious and elegantly poised wine…" 2022 FONTAINE ROSÉ Long regarded as Australia's first true Provence style - and arguably most successful - dry Rosé. Pale pink with ripe fruit, a creamy and generous mouthfeel, followed by lip-smacking acidity on the long, dry finish. 2016 VENDANGES TARDIVES Grown on the cellar door site in Coldstream, this Sauvignon Blanc based dessert wine is a beautifully balanced wine with a wide spectrum of aromas and flavours. All while still being appealing fresh with modest sugar levels that make pairing this wine easier and gives much diverse application both on its own and with food. Made in a classic French Sauternes style picked when the fruit hits the botrytis point in the cool months of May with much higher sugar levels than a drier style of Sauvignon Blanc. 2022 FONTAINE ROSÉ MAGNUM Long regarded as Australia’s first true Provence style - and arguably most successful - dry Rosé. This has been a mainstay of Dominque Portet since the beginnning, and is now stronger than ever thanks to Rosé’s global success. Pale pink with ripe fruit, creamy mouthfeel and crunchy acidity - it’s everything you’d want from a Rosé. 2022 SINGLE VINEYARD CHARDONNAY It’s a rich, rounder style than we usually produce, with power, opulence and texture balanced by crisp natural acidity, adding freshness and poise. Delicious now, a couple of years in the cellar would help accentuate the experience. 2016 VENDANGES TARDIVES Grown on the cellar door site in Coldstream, this Sauvignon Blanc based dessert wine is a beautifully balanced wine with a wide spectrum of aromas and flavours. All while still being appealing fresh with modest sugar levels that make pairing this wine easier and gives much diverse application both on its own and with food. Made in a classic French Sauternes style picked when the fruit hits the botrytis point in the cool months of May with much higher sugar levels than a drier style of Sauvignon Blanc. 2020 FONTAINE CABERNET SAUVIGNON Textbook, classic Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - bright, fresh, and juicy. Plenty of concentrated red berry fruits and bramble, refreshing acidity and fine tannins give the wine a silky texture and a long finish. 2022 SINGLE VINEYARD CABERNET FRANC Bright pale ruby, leafy blackcurrant, earth with some oak smoke and red fruit. These combine perfectly with sour cherry, cranberry and red plum with very light tannins and fresh fruit flavours of raspberry and red apple. Structurally generous and open, the drive comes from elevated acidity integrated perfectly. Vibrant and full of life. 2021 SINGLE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR This vineyard was originally the source of our sparkling wines, but the quality of the grapes was so too good not to make it into a single vineyard still wine. 2021 SINGLE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR This vineyard was originally the source of our sparkling wines, but the quality of the grapes was so too good not to make it into a single vineyard still wine. 2022 SINGLE VINEYARD SHIRAZ The 2022 vintage has bright colour and lifted notes of dark plums, spice and liquorice come through strongly. This year the wine is showing more medium bodied character and finesse, announced through silky fine tannin structure and balanced acidity through to the finish. 2019 DOMINIQUE PORTET CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2019 will go down as one of the great vintages for accessible, bright and fragrant Cabernet. Everything came into balance - The fruit is dark, brooding and mouth coating; the tannins are svelte and long; the acidity is clean and refreshing. It all intertwines seamlessly, to give us a wine we consider to be bright, detailed, elegant and fine. 2015 ANDRÉ CABERNET SAUVIGNON The pinnacle of the Dominique Portet wines, André is made only in exceptional vintages - 2015 is only the 6th release. It is named after Dominique Portet’s father and Ben’s grandfather, 8th generation winemaker and former Technical Director (vineyard and winery manager) at the esteemed Château Lafite-Rothschild in Pauillac, Bordeaux Cellar Door Set amongst the beautiful rolling vineyards of the Yarra Valley, their recently renovated cellar door is open daily from 10.30am to 5pm (closed Public Holidays). They would love to welcome you, share what they love to do, and have been doing since 2000 - whether its tastings, tours of the barrel room and winery, or something a little more drawn out. Their L'Apéro menu draws on our Bordeaux roots to bring you French family classics. We also have a pretty full calendar of family-friendly, social food and wine events throughout the year.
