Legendary Wines of the World There are many wines in the world which express qualities of greatness and which are produced in small quantities; however the wines featured in this section are all truly exceptional and excruciatingly rare.

Classified in 1855 (with Mouton-Rothschild promoted slightly later) the five First Growths of the Left Bank are the zenith of France s most iconic wine region. With incredible subtlety and nuance, each wine expresses a unique microclimate of the Haut-Médoc and Pessac-Léognan. Five 50ml glasses of Les Premiers Grand Crus Classés de Médoc are served together with an explanation of their common theme and differences.

Bottle 150ml 75ml 99 Pétrus, France (C) V 1996 $2,750.00 $580.00 $300.00 Unobtrusive, in the middle of the Pomerol plateau, the wine cellar at Pétrus reveals little about the treasures within. All important here is the vineyard the result of incongruous geological accident which, allied to Merlot vines, produces the most rarefied, sumptuous and powerful of wines. Indisputably one of the most desirable wines in the world, Pétrus is the undeniable jewel in the crown of Pomerol, if not France. 191 Sassicaia, Italy (D) V 2007 $450.00 $95.00 $49.50 The original Super Tuscan, Tenuta San Guido s Sassicaia broke the mould in the 1960 s by planting Bordeaux varietals in Tuscany, and inspired a movement that would take the fine wine world by storm. Much emulated since then, Sassicaia remains one of Italy s most deservedly sought-after wines. 235 Barca Velha, Portugal (D) V 2004 $450.00 $95.00 $49.50 First produced in 1952, people thought legendary winemaker Fernando Nicolau de Almeida was mad to transport blocks of ice 120 miles up the Douro river from Oporto. He knew the secret: the effect of the extreme heat of the Douro Superior, needed to be tamed to produce a wine of such elegance and harmony. In more than half a century of existence, Barca Velha has had only 16 harvests and three winemakers and has become the world-wide standard bearer for Portuguese wine. 219 Vega Sicilia Único, Spain (E) 2007 $385.00 $80.00 $42.50 Vega Sicilia is the most emblematic of Spanish bodegas. A historic wine cellar over 150 years old, it is situated in Spain s revered Ribero del Duero region. A legend and an icon, Vega Sicilia Unico is a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet and is recognized worldwide thanks to its sheer quality. 290 Opus One, United States (E) 1995 $390.00 $82.00 $43.50 One of the Napa Valley's first true greats, Opus One is highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. Born of a partnership between Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1979, Opus One represents the best of both worlds: a legendary wine resolutely French in style but made from vines rooted in the unique terroir of Oakville, California 359 Penfolds Grange, Australia (E) 1998 $995.00 $210.00 $110.00 Penfolds Grange is Australia s most famous wine and is considered the point of reference against which nearly all other Australian red wines are measured. More and more, it has become an international benchmark for Shiraz, together with the finest wines from the Rhône Valley of France. Sweet Bottle 150ml 75ml 413 István Szepsy 'Esszencia', Hungary - 375ml 1999 $550.00 $230.00 $120.00 The wine of kings and the king of wines according to Louis XIV. Istvàn Szepsy is the direct descendant of Szepsy Lackó Máté who, in 1631 was the first person to write down the Tokaji making process. Esszencia is the richest and rarest of all Hungarian Tokaji wines. It is the truest expression of terroir known to man. Typically, this free run juice takes 6 to 8 years to complete its fermentation to as little as 2% alcohol and can reach as much as 85% sugar. 406 Château d'yquem, France - 750ml 1996 $385.00 $80.00 $42.50 Sauternes most acclaimed wine and global superstar, Château d Yquem, was designated Premieur Cru Supérieur in 1855, a classification created purely for this single producer. One of the world s longest-living wines, the tiny production of this iconic wine depends on perfect vintage conditions. CN01182 Cunard Wine List 2016 QE/QV.indd 3 21/06/2016 14:31
Champagne and Sparkling Wines. Champagne Delamotte is a small producer of Champagne in the grand cru village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. It is not only one of the oldest Champagne houses, but also, arguably, one of the most refined in style and pedigree. This is hardly surprising, considering Delamotte s status as sister house of the legendary Salon Champagne, perhaps the world s finest and rarest blanc de blancs Champagne, produced only in exceptional vintages.

Since its foundation in 1772, the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin House has remained true to its motto of only one quality, the finest. Its history carries the mark of an exceptional woman; Barbe Nicole Ponsardin, Madame Veuve Clicquot. She was uncompromising on quality and set off to conquer the world, bequeathing her taste for excellence and innovation to her successors.

England. Vignerons are special people indeed. Taking on Mother Nature requires real strength of character but one might question the (in)sanity of attempting to make wine in a climate as unpredictable as England s. So, how to be a winemaker in Blighty? Exact ingredients and timings may vary but start with a dream, a few spoonfuls of fervent conviction, equal patience of spirit, top it up with sheer dogged determination and you have the basic recipe. There's no doubt that winemakers with the mettle are learning fast. While the concept of English wine seems to be causing a degree of mirth across the channel, it is interesting to note how many champenois are investing in vineyards on the chalk-rich soils of England s southern counties. 23 Bacchus, Chapel Down, Kent (2) 2014 $35.00 24 Pinot Gris, Bolney Estate, Sussex (2) 2015 $47.50 25 Pinot Noir, Bolney Estate, Sussex (B) 2014 $47.50 CN01182 Cunard Wine List 2016 QE/QV.indd 6 21/06/2016 14:31
France. Alsace. A rather complicated history is reflected in Alsace's style of wine; that of a region which has changed nationality six times in 300 years. There are obvious Germanic influences yet the wines here are unique, more powerful, drier than those of Germany and with quite a different mineral definition. 26 Gewürztraminer Anne de Laweiss, Cave Kientzheim-Kaysersberg, Kientzheim (4) V 2013 $45.00 27 Gewürztraminer Grand Cru Steinert, Biecher & Schaal, Pfaffenheim (5) 2013 $57.50 28 Muscat Organic, Jean Biecher & Fils (1) 2015 $45.00 31 Riesling Réserve, Trimbach, Ribeauvillé (1) 2012 $55.00 Burgundy. Burgundy s complexity and tremendous diversity are the result of geological accident. Centuries ago, faulting tore the great valley apart, easing the passage of the nearby Saône River. The slope thus formed is irregular and intricate, making for a rich tapestry with which to create stunning wines. Burgundy begins in Chablis, isolated some 80 miles north of the rest of the region with its very individual terroir. The region then extends over some 180 miles of varied, spectacular countryside, as far as Lyon in the south, via the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

France. Bordeaux. Today s Bordeaux wines face many challenges in a world where wines are increasingly accessible a far cry from the rather stoical classicism for which Bordeaux is best known, creating wines to last. They do say, however, that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Bordeaux blends are emulated the world over. Despite all of the technical know-how available, the fact remains that what makes Bordeaux special is unique to Bordeaux; a complex geological, meteorological and geographical mix which cannot be copied. Bordeaux wines, produced with respect for their origins, are special. Happily, an increasing number of producers are coming to realise that they are better off perfecting what they have rather than trying to copy the power of warmer climes. Vintages are naturally different and are all the better for that great food wines. 66 Château Bonnet, Réserve Blanc, Entre-Deux-Mers (1) V 2013/14 $37.50 67 Château La Fleur des Graves Blanc, Graves de Vayres (2) 2014 $45.00 68 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc, Pessac-Léognan (2) 2014 $80.00 Regional Bordeaux 70 Corney & Barrow Company Reserve Claret, Maison Sichel (C) 2012 $40.00 71 Mouton Cadet (Kosher), Baron Phillipe de Rothschild (C) 2013 $45.00 Haut-Médoc 72 Reflets du Château Cissac, 2nd wine of Château Cissac (D) 2013 $47.50 Listrac Médoc 73 Grand Listrac (D) 2011 $52.50 Saint-Estèphe 74 Château Beau-Site, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur (C) V V 2011 $67.50 75 Château Cos d'estournel, 2ème Cru Classé (D) V 2001 $335.00 CN01182 Cunard Wine List 2016 QE/QV.indd 10 21/06/2016 14:31

France. The Loire. The Loire stretches over 600 miles and is the longest river in France. Travelling through no fewer than 12 départements, it is small wonder that the scope for different styles of wine is so wide. The Loire Valley has a marginal climate reliant on south-facing slopes with sunshine reflected on stone, streams and sheltered oasis. The Loire is home to some of the world s most famous wines; Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé from the central valley to Anjou-Saumur with its warmer Atlantic influence ideal for sweet whites, rosés and sparkling wines. 102 Muscadet De Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie, Château De Chasseloir, Chéreau Carré (1) V V 2014/15 $32.50 103 Pouilly-Fumé, Baron de L de Ladoucette, Centre Loire (2) V V 2010 $120.00 104 Pouilly-Fumé, Château de Tracy, Comtesse A.

Rhône. The northern and southern areas of the Rhône Valley differ so much in terms of geology, topography and climate that they ought to be considered two different regions. The northern area, with its steep, granitic slopes planted with terraced staked vines produces perhaps the finest reds from Syrah and Condrieu from Viognier. The southern area takes on a more Mediterranean style where vineyards are planted with a myriad of varieties with a distinctive southern French character. Both areas of the valley benefit from the cooling Mistral wind, allowing for greater freshness than would ordinarily be expected this far south.

France. Languedoc - Roussillon. Languedoc-Roussillon is the central region in the south of France. More relaxed wine laws here allow wine makers to be much more experimental in terms of blends and styles, making this an incredibly exciting wine region, with lots of hidden gems and wide ranging styles of wines. About a quarter of all vines in France are found in this region and it is the largest vine growing region in the world. Following huge investment since the 1970s, this has become one of the most successful wine regions in France. 124 Claude Val Blanc 'Cépage No.6', Paul Mas, IGP Pays d'oc (2) V V 2014 $32.50 125 Picpoul de Pinet, 'La Viste', Côteaux du Languedoc (2) V V 2015 $35.00 126 Vermentino/Sauvignon Blanc, La Croix, Pays d Oc (2) V V 2014/15 $30.00 127 Cuvée Authentique, Domaine Lafage, Côtes de Roussillon (D) V V 2014 $42.50 128 Grande Cuvée, Domaine du Silène, Grès de Montpelier (D) B 2006 $62.50 129 Pinot Noir, Escale, Limoux (B) 2014 $35.00 Cunard Private Label.

South West. Rural Gascony: Armagnac country, land of berets, and home to some of France s most innovative young winemakers.

Germany. Germany produces some of the world s finest white wines, presenting natural, grapey richness complemented by racy acidity. Riesling is king here, offering purity and precision. Producers run the gauntlet of nurturing vines in a very marginal climate, at the absolute limit of where grapes will ripen. This is both a constant threat and a magnificent opportunity as vine and man both struggle to balance two essential but dangerous elements in fine wine acidity and ripeness. At their best, such wines can be electric and the perfect complement to a vast array of dishes and even some trickier ingredients. Hugely versatile, these are great food wines.

Austria. One of the most underrated European wine producing countries, Austria - tucked between Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic - is rather quietly making world-class wines. Native Grüner Veltliner is the king of Austrian grape varieties mostly light and early drinking with a hint of spice, although premium examples may age for years and can even be evocative of Burgundian Chardonnay. Production is dominated by white wines, but winemakers are stealthily producing lighter reds too, often from Zweigelt, a descendant of everyone s beloved Pinot Noir. 155 Grüner Veltliner Satzen Single Vineyard, Weingut Manfred Felsner, Kremstal (1) O V V 2014/15 $40.00 157 Cuvée Privée - Weingut Rudolf Rabl, Kamptal - Langenlois (C) V V 2012/13 $47.50 CN01182 Cunard Wine List 2016 QE/QV.indd 17 21/06/2016 14:31
Italy. It is hard to imagine a more exciting or varied wine-producing country than Italy. With a vibrant winemaking history spanning over 2,000 years, and vineyards stretching from the Alps through the Apennine mountains to Sicily, the Italian peninsula is home to an enormous range of climates, topographies and soil types hosting hundreds of distinctive grapes unique to Italy. It is hardly surprising then, that Italy s wine range is so diverse, spanning all colours and styles, from dry to sweet, still wine to sparkling wine, and everything in between.

Spain. Spain offers all manner of styles of wine, reflecting the country s hugely varied topography, geology, climate and microclimates.

Portugal. Portugal is not a Mediterranean country. Portugal is neither Mediterranean in geography, climate nor attitude. It is also not homogenous in any sense - quite the opposite. Diversity finds its form in the classic north-south divide of its people, in the cultural and economic wealth of the big cities and in the rustic simplicity of the countryside. In wine too, diversity and choice is manifest in the 200 plus indigenous grape varieties and in all the varied climates of its multiple wine regions. From the steely dry whites of the northerly Vinho Verde to the luscious, sumptuous, sun-kissed wines of the southerly Alentejo, Portugal has something for everyone to enjoy. It also lays claim to the world s oldest protected wine producing region (and World Heritage Site) in the Douro Valley; traditionally important for Port production, the Douro is now also home to some of the finest wines available in the world today.

Croatia. Celebrating its indigenous grape varieties as well as embracing international ones, Croatia is establishing itself as a very credible alternative for food-friendly wines. Coastal Istria, situated closer to North-East Italy than to Croatia s inland wine regions, specialises in Malvasia and Teran, a light and fruity grape known as Refosco in northern Italy. 248 Malvasia, Vina Kozlović, Istria (2) V V 2014/15 $40.00 249 Teran, Vina Kozlović, Istria (B) V V 2014/15 $45.00 Greece. With centuries of winemaking traditions, modern Greek winemaking is breaking free of its Retsina connotations and is making waves on the international wine scene by championing its ancient, native grape varieties with good reason. Hot summers combined with steep north-facing slopes create the perfect conditions for grape growing. Greece is certainly one to watch - adventurous Australian winemakers are even paying Greece the great compliment of planting indigenous Agiorgitiko and Assyrtiko in their own vineyards. 250 Assyrtiko Wild Ferment, Gaia, Santorini (1) V V 2015/16 $45.00 251 Assyrtiko/Malagousia Sillogi, Moraitis Winery, Cyclades (2) O V V 2014 $40.00 252 Agiorgitiko / Syrah "S", Gaia, Nemea (C) V V 2013 $47.50 253 Agiorgitiko Saint George, Domaine Skouras, Nemea (D) V V 2014 $45.00 CN01182 Cunard Wine List 2016 QE/QV.indd 25 21/06/2016 14:31
Lebanon. Lebanon is fast gaining a reputation for excellent and interesting wines, made Eastern Mediterranean from South and South-West France varietals. Bekaa Valley enjoys a cooler climate thanks to mountain-high altitudes, and is home to a number of iconic wineries.

Turkey s incredibly diverse landscape produces an astonishing range of wines, and the country represents enormous potential, with large volumes of grapes still destined for dried fruit rather than the fermented version! Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia in the centre of Turkey. The UNESCO Cultural and Natural Heritage Site is known for its breath-taking landscape of white tufa (fairy chimneys), its high volcanic mountains, and hot air ballooing as captured in the label design. 257 Kaya Kapadokia, Kocabag Winery, Cappadoccia (C) 2012 $40.00 CN01182 Cunard Wine List 2016 QE/QV.indd 26 21/06/2016 14:31
Israël. Israel s best-kept secret is its wine. With over 300 wineries, the country has enjoyed an explosion of wine culture in recent years, and Clos de Gat s wines are the perfect ambassadors for this burgeoning wine region. Grapes are pressed in a 3,000 year old gat (Hebrew for wine press) and wines are fermented in open vats with natural yeasts from the vineyard, producing a range of wines representing Israel s unique terroir in the foothills of the Judean Mountains. 258 Chardonnay, Clos de Gat, Judean Hills (3) V V 2013 $65.00 259 Merlot, Clos de Gat Har'el, Judean Hills (C) V V 2012 $55.00 260 Syrah, Clos de Gat Har'el, Judean Hills (D) V V 2012 $55.00 India.

Australia. Australia s wine industry has been phenomenally successful in the last 30 years and today is the world s fourth largest wine exporter, with wines sold in over 100 countries. Australia was the first of the new world wine producing countries to understand how to appeal to modern wine drinkers, with its easy-drinking wine styles. Its innovative strategy of producing and labelling wines according to grape variety proved highly popular and saw Australia steal valuable market share from traditional producing countries such as France, Italy and Spain.

New Zealand. New Zealand s wines continue to soar in popularity, driven by the exuberant, stylish Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs that have become the country s signature. Despite the fact that this grape variety now accounts for almost 70% of New Zealand s entire production, equating to some 200 million bottles a year, New Zealand is certainly no one-trick pony when it comes to its regional and varietal scope. Its Burgundian Chardonnays, pristine Riesling styles and rich, perfumed Pinot Noirs remain hard to beat for their quality, balance, finesse and sheer drinkability.

South Africa. South Africa is one of the world s most exciting wine producing regions today. The South African wine industry is in renaissance, supported by outside investment (particularly from Europe), and a dynamic new generation of winemakers keen to push quality boundaries, experiment with site selection and create different wine styles. The Cape s location is key to this: the wine lands here are buffeted continually by cooling ocean breezes, tempering the intense heat at this latitude and providing near-perfect conditions for high quality wine grapes. South Africa s wine styles typically reflect these conditions, combining exuberant sunshine favours with the elegant structural frame more typical of cooler-climate European wines.
