We have had a number of suggestions and hints as to what all the fans would like as well as what the name should be.  A descision has been made, but we are keeping you in suspense for a while longer. The final blend is yet to be decided as well as the design of the lable.

 All will be revealed soon…

 This lively white is in perfect harmony with The Parlotones’ music. It stands out from the rest with an intriguing difference yet with perfect balance. It has an “edge” which makes it intriguing and somewhat exotic but it will appeal to everyone, from the casual quaffer to the conossieur.

 Expect a wine that as Kahn has said “is bursting with tropical fruit, plump pear, luscious litchi and hints of lime. It is a medley of fruit sprinkled with exotic spices and a subtle vanilla scent”. It certainly is a wine for happy, romantic occasions. It has such a personality that it will enliven any occasion and leave everybody searching for the next bottle. It will suit a wide range of foods including all seafood and white meats, but with its light spiciness and lavish fruit it would be a particular treat with lightly spiced Asian dishes.

 It is a blend of Chenin Blanc (60%), Gewurztraminer (25%), Chardonnay (10%) and Viognier (5%) and has the lightest hint of wood. The palate is zippy and fresh with beautifully balanced fruit and acidity.

 To quote Kahn again: “”Push Me to the Floor” has captured special moments in a bottle. Recapture. Create. And feel inspired.”
