Aromatic, charming, fresh.
Calliope makes a white and a red version of the Figure 8 and this aromatic white is an ever changing blend, but this year it is Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Riesling.
It's a fruit-cup of aromas, topped with honey, lively grapefruit and spring blossoms. Laden with crunchy tree fruit, this aromatic charmer is simple, fresh and is a great patio sipper or paired with aromatic and spiced cuisines.

Exotic, spicy, slick. Spicy and exotic with rose oil honey, tangerine and lychee aromas dusted with white pepper. Off-dry with classic Gew perfume and richness, this one has a slick texture, is off-dry and has a pithy lime finish. Pair: Tofu coconut curry, pad Thai, oily fish, Moroccan dishes and medium-strong cheeses.

Dry, juicy, tangy.
Zinfandel, Malbec and Syrah combine to make this salmony-pink rose. It offers Maraschino cherries and cream, tangerine, cedar, fine spices, peach fuzz and strawberry aromas. Expect good concentration and structure, it is dry and juicy with tangy red fruits and tealeaf flavours on the finish. A solid pink for BBQ foods, grilled salmon, ratatouille, and pizza.

Delightful, expressive, tangy
A delightful option in the Sauvignon Blanc category with notes of tropical fruit, elderflower, lime and guava with nettle and gooseberry. Bouncy palate, which is mouthwatering and tangy and verdant, but overall expressive and delicious.
Pair: Fish with herbs, asparagus quiche, tzatziki and pita or anything with goat cheese.
