Approachable, expressive, zesty.
A consistent crowd favourite, the approachable Wente suggests sweet pineapple and honey, butterscotch and lemon with acacia blossoms and a hint of nuts. The palate echos the nose, it is juicy and expressive but not overdone or too fleshy. Approachable, balanced and bright with a nice long finish.
Pair: jalapeno cornbread, chicken salad, grilled smoked gouda panini or creamy pastas

A crowd favourite, the approachable Wente offers notes of grilled lemon peel, burnt sugar, coriander, toasted spice and yellow apples. Spiced caramel and lemons, roasted pecan and vague herbal notes describe the palate. It has weight and balance and a toasty finish.

Approachable, tropical, zesty. A crowd favourite, the approachable Wente offers loads of tropical fruit rolled in vanilla caramels with lemon curd, tangerine, and honeysuckle notes. Pineapple, sweet orange slices and honey lead the palate; it has an attractive weight with a complimentary zesty character.

Jammy, approachable, smooth.
A very jammy nose of blueberry, raspberry, vanilla, licorice and mocha leads to a supple palate with oodles of sweet fruit and vanilla liqueur. There is a slightly fishy undertone, on the nose and palate. A straightforward and approachable wine, international in style, to pair with chili dogs, burgers, spicy wings or sausage.

Supple, approachable, fragrant.
Always engaging and fragrant, the 2019 version of the Wente family's estate Cabernet Sauvignon stays true.
Blueberry tea, cherry pipe tobacco, licorice, baking spices, vanilla, licorice and chocolaty aromas are echoed on the palate. Purple berries and licorice, caramel and sweet tea flavours are carried on a supple palate. It has a lovely weight and pleasing texture.
A tasty modern red with notable freshness to pair with chili dogs, burgers, spicy wings or sausage.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper
