Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers – Social Hour<\/p>\n

Sheraton Hong Kong will host evening Social Hour tasting events three times a week featuring three pours of 50ml of premium wines from the \u201cWines of the World\u201d menu at HK$105 (service charge applies) \u2013 available at Lobby Lounge on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:00 \u2013 8:00pm. Each glass is served in Stolzle stemware to ensure that each varietal is presented in the perfect stemware that artfully enhances the wine\u2019s flavour and aroma.<\/p>\n

White Wines \u009f 3 X 50 ml pours for HK$105 (Changes regularly)<\/p>\n

Chardonnay, Pirque, Concha y Toro, Chile<\/p>\n

Notions of popcorn, toast, spiced apple, melon, and jasmine lead to a medium-bodied, ripe plush Chardonnay with savory flavors, lively acidity, and excellent length.<\/p>\n

Rueda DO, Verdejo, Marqu\u00e9s de Riscal, Spain<\/p>\n

A bright, straw-yellow coloured wine. As you expect from a verdejo wine, on the nose it has high aromatic intensity, with tropical fruit and hints of fennel and fresh grass. In the mouth it is both syrupy smooth and refreshing, with a slightly bitter finish which is typical of the variety making it long and pleasant to drink. Overall it is a fresh, well-balanced wine.<\/p>\n

Sauvignon Blanc S\u00e9millon, Cape Mentelle, Australia<\/p>\n

Pale straw with lime green hues. Punchy lifted aromatics of lemon blossom, blackcurrant and papaya with subtle hints of fresh thyme and cordite. Medium to full flavoured with a fine texture. Limes, apples, lychee and honeydew melon characterise the fruit flavours which are framed by juicy acidity, providing great length of flavour.<\/p>\n

Red Wines \u009f 3 X 50 ml pours for HK$105 (Changes regularly)<\/p>\n

Cabernet Sauvignon, R\u00e9serve Sp\u00e9ciale, G\u00e9rard Bertrand, France<\/p>\n

Fleshy in texture, full bodied, and intensely flavored (black currant, blueberry, dark plum, toast, dark chocolate, spicy oak, vanilla), well balanced, and very long on the finish.<\/p>\n

Merlot, Marqu\u00e9s de Casa Concha, Concha y Toro, Chile<\/p>\n

Notes of cherries, plums, licorice, dark chocolate, cassis and lingering smoked black-tar on the finish. Already some complexity beginning to develop out of its firm, quiet and supple core.<\/p>\n

Shiraz Cabernet, Private Release, Penfolds, Australia<\/p>\n

Medium bodied. Lovely fresh flavours of plum and blackcurrants balanced with a gentle touch of toasted oak and subtle soft tannins.<\/p>\n
