TORONTO, Nov. 25, 2016 /CNW/ - Wines from Saint Clair Family Estate (New Zealand), Fleur du Cap (South Africa), Nugan Estate (Australia) and Emiliana (Chile) represent some of the best from the new world wine category. The featured selections from each brand serve to highlight the unique characteristics of their respective countries as well as, the skill, dedication and traditions that have earned them their notable reputations.

When served alongside festive dishes featuring the fresh and unique flavours of Canada-based Saha International Cuisine's inspired range of marinades and cooking bases, the results are a series of flavourful meals that are both satisfying and crowd-pleasing.

Saint Clair Family Estate Sauvignon Blanc paired with Stuffed Turkey Breast, Brussels Sprouts and Horseradish Mashed Potatoes

This New Zealand wine, with its signature Marlborough flavours of passion fruit, black currant and herbaceous notes, pairs perfectly with the sweet spices and citrus notes of Saha International Cuisine's Shawarma marinade.

Fleur du Cap Cabernet Sauvignon paired with Braised Lamb and Winter Vegetable Ragout

Fleur du Cap Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied wine that has the aromas of dark chocolate, ripe berries and cherries. On the palate, the wine has the elegant flavour of oak spice, which complement this bold and rich lamb stew flavoured with Saha International Cuisine's Lahmajoun sauce.                                                                                                              

Nugan Estate Alfredo Second Pass Shiraz paired with Roast Pork Loin, Coconut Jasmine Rice and Stir Fried Broccoli

Nugan Estate Alfredo Second Pass Shiraz is sourced from the family's premium vineyards, resulting in a flavourful wine with a complex palate of ripe raspberries, blueberries and dark chocolate. The wine complements the sweet, sour, spicy and savoury Thai flavours of Saha International Cuisine's Thai Red Curry Base.

Emiliana Adobe Reserva Sauvignon Blanc paired with Red Snapper Ceviche and Blood Orange and Arugula Salad

Emiliana Adobe Reserva Sauvignon Blanc is a Chilean, organic wine that is citrusy on the nose with notes of grapefruit and lime. Its freshness on the palate makes it an ideal pairing for the bright flavours of seafood ceviche made Saha International Cuisine's Caribbean Green Seasoning.
