PB Khao Yai Reserve Chenin Blanc
Khao Yai, Thailand
Country of Origin: Thailand
Grape Variety: Chenin Blanc
Vintage: 2018
Alcohol Content: 13.5°
Serving Temperature: 9° to 11°
Tasting Notes: This white wine of straw color has an optimum ripe flavor. The wine is fermented in French oak and lee-stirred to add creaminess to the palate. The nose shows a great complexity of floral perfume and tropical fruits and a texture of ripe fruit characters with fresh acidity. The oak influence is subtle and elegant, and the wine has some almond on the palate. The finish is delicately balanced, complex, and lingering on.
Food Pairing: PB Khao Yai Reserve Chenin Blanc is an ideal pairing for Asian fare like sweet and sour pork, pad thai, and Peking duck. The wine goes well with a variety of pork dishes as well as turkey and chicken. It is also a good match for not too spicy Thai dishes and many Vegetarian/Vegan specials.

Vintage: 2015
Alcohol Content: 14°
Serving Temperature: 18° to 21°
Tasting Notes: This Tempranillo has an intense aromatic impact with aromas of beetroot, grassy and green capsicum. The palate is generous yet light-bodied, with dark chocolate and hints of truffle. The natural acid backbone freshens the wine and the fine-grained, integrated tannins. Whilst enjoyable immediately it can also be kept in the cellar for a few years.
Food Pairing: Pot roasted, slow-cooked, and braised beef dishes are good to pair with Tempranillo as well roasted lamb, grilled lamb, grilled pork chops, and or BBQ ribs. Pirom Khao Yai Reserve is also good to enjoy on its own while watching the sunset on the terrace.
Pirom Supremacy Khao Yai Reserve
Khao Yai, Thailand
Country of Origin: Thailand
Grape Variety: Shiraz – Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2013
Alcohol Content: 14°
Serving Temperature: 18° to 21°
Tasting Notes: This elegant wine is crafted to retain good primary fruit characters and a fine acid tannin balance and structure. The wine was matured in French oak before being bottled. The wine has intense aromas of dark cherry, dried flowers, and a hint of leather coming through. The palate is soft and generous with flavors of dark chocolate and mint on the finish.
The tannin structure is fine and smooth yet powerful and there is enough natural acidity to give freshness and balance.
Food Pairing: Pirom Supremacy Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with Steak, a good burger, and braised beef dishes. Slow-braised beef or venison is also a great match especially when cooked in red wine, and then not to forget roast or grilled lamb. This fine wine is ready to drink now but will further improve when kept in the cellar for up to 6 to 8 years.
