Sommelier’s Spotlight | Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir

This month, our Sommelier’s Spotlight shines on Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir – a soft, fruit-forward Pinot with gentle tannins and plenty of character.

With lifted aromas of red berries and wild herbs, subtle savoury notes and a juicy, approachable palate, it’s a w**e to savour slowly and enjoy generously.

For the perfect pairing, enjoy it with our Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Breast, served with herb mash potato, charred corn & chorizo salsa, tomato and mustard cream sauce.

$17 glass | $89 bottle

Available now at 50 Bistro, The George.

Our Sommelier’s Spotlight is a personal recommendation from our Restaurant Manager and qualified Sommelier, showcasing carefully selected w**es chosen for their craftsmanship, provenance and exceptional drinking.

Aromatic, refreshing and beautifully balanced, our Rosemary Pastis brings together the distinctive character of pastis with the rich fruitiness of sloe gin and the bright, zesty freshness of lime.

Shaken with sugar syrup and served over ice in a wh**ky tumbler, this sophisticated cocktail is finished with fresh rosemary and a dried lime wheel. The herbal notes of rosemary complement the aniseed character of the pastis, while sloe gin and fresh lime add depth, fruitiness and a refreshing finish.

The Rosemary Pastis is our cocktail of the month at 50 Bistro. Come and try it for yourself.
