Festive Classics Mixed Dozen

"It is a wine with great personality and an assertive, lingering and tangy flavour. This Friuli corner close to Slovenja, produce one of the best Pinot Grigio quality of Italy. Striking and luminous, the wine has intense color, complex nose with notes of white peach, pear, stone. The palate is structured with a long finish."

"Rapaura Springs Reserve satisfies everything you crave from a NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It balances juicy aromas and flavours of tropical fruit, citrus and passionfruit with beautiful freshness and a suggestion of saltiness from the vineyards' proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The mouthwatering finish draws you in for another sip...and another."

"The great white of Santorini, transplanted to Amyndeon in northern Greece. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach and honeysuckle. On the palate, it displays beautiful balance between Assyrtiko's hallmark long, lean, stony, salty character and more rounded, fleshier, fruitier, generous traits. An excellent wine."

"Deep red colour with hints of violet. Aromas of liquorice, cassis and warm raspberry jam. The palate is full bodied, complex and long with an elegant touch of roasted pepper and chocolate."

"Deep ruby in colour, this Riserva Chianti is fruity and spicy on the nose, showing aromas of fresh red fruit - especially cherries - with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with juicy fruit notes, soft tannins and a long, lingering finish."

"Opaque red in colour with aromas of red berry fruit and subtle oak. On the palate it has a perfect balance of bright, juicy red fruit, with satisfying weight of texture and the merest suggestion of well-integrated oak on the finish. A superbly well made, moreish wine to enjoy with hearty mushroom or lamb dishes, and it's also a contender for the title of Perfect Barbecue Red."
