Have you tried sitting inside a helicopter and flying in it? Wouldn’t it be exciting to try?

Malaysia’s Premier Heli-Tours, KL Sky Tours by Cempaka Helicopters had recently brought 30 lucky Wine Talk customers up in the skies to a beautiful view of Kuala Lumpur. The unforgettable helicopter ride lasted 6 minutes each and trust me, this 6-minute ride will give you something to remember beyond just 360 seconds. 

Starting from the helipad at Titiwangsa, the sight of 2 shiny helicopters is impressive. The moment those rotor blades started spinning, guests got excited to soar high and fly!

The 2 helicopters, The Robinson R44 and The Robinson R66 Turbine, are a sight to behold. But these are not just beauties; these are armed to deliver best-in-class service. The R44 carries 3 passengers excluding pilot, powered by Lycoming IO-540 six cylinder engine and has a cruise speed of 110 kn (200 km/h: 130 mph). The R66 carries 4 passengers excluding pilot, powered by Rolls Royce RR300 Turbine engine  and has a cruise speed of 125kn (144mph, 231km/h).

Take a look at those sexy leather seats. Another great thing about the seating design of each helicopter is the access to panoramic view for each guest. Everyone (except the pilot!) can take photos, selfies, wefies and videos to capture moments up there!

(White wine) Domaine Maby 'Variations' Cotes Du Rhone White - This cuvee is a classic white Rhone-Blend, crafted with local varietals which bring a great balance of flavours and minerality. This is a cracking wine, very aromatic with hints of lemon, white flowers and a generous palate with fresh fruits combined with hazelnuts, white flowers and apricot; a beautiful wine with elegance, strength and balance.

My personal favourite is this one...
(Rose wine) Domaine Maby 'Variations' Cotes Du Rhone Rose - This cuvee is a classic Rose Rhone-Blend, crafted with local varietals which bring a great balance of flavours and minerality. Fresh, fruitful with strawberry, blackcurrant, and raspberry, this is smooth and well-balanced. A perfect match with a selection of tapas or a BBQ – shared with friends.

(Red wine) Gotham Wines Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon - Lifted aromas of chocolate and dark cherries, combine with a richly flavoured palate of spicy, ripe plum and hints of oak.

(Red wine) Wine Men of Gotham Shiraz Grenache - This Shiraz Grenache is an aromatic medium bodied wine combining fresh blackberry flavours with gentle floral aromas and notes of strawberry.

(Red wine) Printhie 'Ashburnham' Cabernet-Merlot - Their classic Bordeaux blend offers a rich bouquet of ripe plum and black cherry with hints of sweet berries. The palate is full with dark plum and blackberry, gently layered with soft oak influences and velvety tannins. A very friendly and generous red – to enjoy with friends. 

You can even order just 3 bottles and it will be nicely packed in this cool green box!
