Ambrosia Wines @ Taman Danau Desa, KL Food & Wine Pairing Review

  

There are good selections of quality wines available from Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, and more. Plus Ambrosia Wines also has specially curated wines that is not available anywhere in KL. 

I was privileged to have a session of food and wine paring of their 3 curated wines such as Woodstock Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, Pioneer Road Cabernet Sauvignon and Wirrega Vineyards Sfera Shiraz.

Woodstock Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, RM118 (Country: Australia)

Woodstock Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, RM118 (Country: Australia)

Grape Variety: 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 75% Semillon

This wine was made from premium Semillon grapes planted in 1988 for its ability to express tropical fruit aromas and flavors. The Sauvignon Blanc was sourced from nearby Blewitt Springs and adds flavor intensity and texture. 

The blend is compose of 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 75% Semillon. This wine is in bright very pale straw color with water like hue. Fresh, grassy, unripe gooseberry and tropical fruit nose, showing good varietal character, however, there is little power or strength. Light gooseberry and tropical fruit aftertaste.

A good starter for any conversation and it’s an easy going wine especially for the ladies because the palate is balanced and refreshing. Here is our food paring with Woodstock Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Mejillones Borrachos / Mussels with White Wine, RM18

Er… one portion for 4 might not be enough, you might decide to order another portion.

If you love spaghetti with white wine, something simple. Then this Tocino Y Champinones Espagueti is our pick. The combination of shiitake mushroom, bacon and tomato spaghetti. As for price and portion wise, it’s very reasonable.

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Our second wine tasting is Pioneer Road Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly paired with pizza and meat. It’s selected Shiraz from premium vineyards throughout Langhorne Creek was vinified using a combination of fermentation styles and American oak, to highlight the regional characteristics.

The wine has lifted aromas of spice, dark cherry and plums, with a rich, full-flavored palate of forest fruits and vanilla, finishing with soft tannins and excellent length. It tastes great now and will reward patient cellaring. Here are our food paring with Pioneer Road Cabernet Sauvignon.

There is great intensity of fruit in ‘Sfera’ that showcases the excellent viticultural practices that we strive for. The intense fruit is matched by concentration of colour with excellent palate and flavour complexity, largely attributable to the quality of winemaking. ‘Sfera’ Shiraz is a fantastic expression of the uniqueness of Wirrega Vineyards. Here are our food pairing with Wirrega Vineyards Sfera Shiraz.
