he Glad Hatter’s story is as unusual as the Hatter himself. Some say he roamed the countryside entertaining people

with his antics, and that he carried a secret stash of delicious wine he kept tucked under his enormous top hat. Others say

his hat was magic, and that he used it to conjure wine for friendly villagers he encountered in his travels. But no matter

his story, everyone agrees on one thing - the Glad Hatter’s wine is always wonderful. His white and blush wines are soft and crisp with distinctive fruit notes, whereas his red wines are fermented on crushed grape skins, seeds and

stems, lending to a more complex wine. Now you can enjoy these delicious varieties, which have been the favourites of the wine lovers all round the world. They have been brought

Reds WhitesAustralia - Shiraz Some say that Australia’s Aboriginal people have a ceremonial dance that was only ever performed once for an outsider - the Glad Hatter. Legend has it, that it was this dance that inspired the Hatter to conjure the fi rst bottle of Australian Shiraz.

This deep ruby red wine is well balanced with lively aromas of black pepper, plums and toasted oak. Full-bodied in structure, it is robustly built with chewy tannins from fermentation on crushed grape skins and streaks of chocolate leading up to an elegant fi nish.

Australia - ChardonnayThe story goes, the Glad Hatter visited the Australian outback in his youth, and it was there he conjured his fi rst bottle of white wine - Australian Chardonnay - and to this day this variety is enjoyed the world over.

This full-bodied wine displays an enticing combination of crisp citrus fruits laced with vanilla and peach notes. Straw in colour, it is supported by a seamless palate packed with notes of melon rounded out in a long, oaky fi nish.

Chile - Merlot It’s believed the Glad Hatter once said that he never truly knew the colour red until he visited Chile. He wiped a tear of joy that day, and gracefully bowed and tipped his hat, pulling from it the most beautiful bottle of Chilean Merlot.

A robust bouquet of warm, dark fruit and tobacco leads to elevated aromas of ripe black currants and cherries. Layers of coffee and dark plum notes unfold to reveal a big-hearted dry wine blessed with excellent length of fl avours and supple tannins from crushed grape skins.

Chile - Sauvignon BlancLegend has it that in a remote Chilean village, in a secret place, the original bottle of the Glad Hatter’s favourite white wine is preserved. This bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is kept cool and dry, in celebration of his visit to this beautiful country.

Intense aromas of honeydew melon and pears entice the nose while zesty fl avours of grapefruit and herbs grace the palate. Pale straw in colour, this medium-bodied dry wine is a Chilean classic.

California - Cabernet Sauvignon The Glad Hatter was heard to say that he loved the whole world, but was only in love with the California sun. In fact, many believe it was the reason he fi rst donned his enormous top hat. It was the only hat worthy to tip to the sun. And each time he did so, he conjured a bottle of California Cabernet Sauvignon as a gift to his love.

With a hint of oak that contributes to spicy notes and luscious tannins and fermentation on crushed grape skins, this well-rounded Cabernet Sauvignon has a bouquet teeming with stone fruit and tobacco. Cherries and ripe black currants

Italy - Pinot Grigio Some say the Glad Hatter was in Italy the day he fi rst discovered his gift of magic, and that his top hat was a keepsake from a local girl of remarkable beauty. To show her his admiration, he tipped his hat and a bottle of Pinot Grigio appeared.

Fresh and vibrant on the nose, this dry white wine packs sensational aromas of green apples and butterscotch. This easy-drinking Italian wine displays a light straw colour with crisp fl avours of almonds and citrus notes on the fi nish.

Italy - Valpolicella The Italians believe the Glad Hatter was born in Italy, and that Italian wine runs through his veins. Some believe it’s Valpolicella, because of the spring in his step. To this day, in some Italian villages, it’s tradition to kick your heels after every sip.

Medium-bodied and deliciously fruity, this popular Italian wine is dark garnet in colour and boasts of generous, rich aromas of dark ripe fruit with hints of raisins. Subtle nuances of vanilla and spice from the oak and tannins from fermentation on grape skins create a well-rounded experience.

Germany - Riesling Once, a German wine maker was visited by a mysterious traveller. Rumour has it, the visitor whispered in the wine maker’s ear, then went on his way. What he whispered was the secret to making the perfect Riesling. What the wine maker remembered most

the traveller’s joyful disposition, and his enormous top hat.

This classic, dry Riesling offers generous aromas of citrus fruits and blossoms up front. Rich fl avours of grapefruit with fl oral undertones follow to give it a focused, crisp fi nish. Straw in colour, this medium-bodied wine lingers attractively on the palate.

California - Zinfandel One day, the story goes, the Glad Hatter suddenly appeared on a sandy beach and began to recite a poem with only 26 words, from A to Z. At the end of this brilliant brief soliloquy, he tipped his hat to the gathering crowd and ended the poem with a bottle of Zinfandel.

This full-bodied wine is a California classic. At fi rst sniff you will be tempted with notes of decadent dark chocolate and black pepper. These fl avours are carried through to the palate where they are accented with toasted oak and wet grape skins rounding off this perfectly balanced experience.

RoseChile - Malbec Rose It’s been said that the Glad Hatter always visited Chile in Spring. To this day, some Chileans maintain that it was because he enjoyed the sweet fragrance in the air. Coincidentally, after each rain, many locals would fi nd a bottle of the Hatter’s Chilean Malbec Rosé on their windowsills.

Beautifully aromatic with notes of pear and hints of ripe strawberries and juicy raspberries, this wine is fairly crisp and refreshing with just a slight hint of sweetness.
