Christmas Chillout Wines!

1st December 2014


With the hustle and bustle of the festive season upon us we recommend taking a well earned break from Christmas shopping or dressing the tree by finding some time to relax with a glass of crisp, chilled white or a warming, fruity red in front of the fire! if you don't have time to put your feet up totally we find a glass of wine really does help to get through writing that stack of Christmas cards..!


This month we have chosen a stunning selection of Winter Whites; from Italy the effortlessly quaffable and elegant Mirabello Pinot Grigio displays bright citrus and white floral aromas with notes of elderflower and sliced pear. Dry and clean on the palate with a hint of almond in the finish. A pitch perfect Pinot Grigio.


For those who hanker for the passion fruit and gooseberry zing and zip of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc the Mirror Lake Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect choice. Pure, fresh and oozing with bright tropical fruit and green grassy notes. Thirst quenching, palate cleansing and simply irresistible!


The white wine classicists will adore the addition of a classic French Chardonnay; sumptuous aromas of honeyed apple, pear and white stone fruit on the nose with a hint of hazelnut follow through to a beautifully well rounded medium weight palate of orchard fruits and a twist of mouthwatering lemon curd in the finish. The Louis Latour Ardeche Chardonnay remains classic and fantastic.


If you're feeling more in the mood for a glass of softly spiced red to help unwind, then look no further than our Fireside Reds case! The Panilonco Merlot is bursting with dark berry and plum pudding aromas and flavours, soft and juicy on the palate and guaranteed to bring you a taste of Chilean sunshine!


The ever popular and sublime charms of the wines of Rioja are displayed in all their garnet hued glory in this cracking Rioja Crianza from Bodegas Artesa. The balance of steeped red berry, strawberry and cherry flavoured fruit with well integrated mellow tannins and gentle oak is superb while hints of leather and vanilla linger in the satisfying finish. A stunning Spanish wine to savour.


Marvellous Malbec has a real presence on the world wine scene these days we're happy to say! With smooth, suave examples like the Les Volets Malbec from France's Languedoc Roussillon wine growing area it's easy to see why...brooding layers of ripe, dark, blackberry, black cherry and damson fruit exude from the glass laced with hints of woodsmoke and cedar. The full bodied palate is rich and lively with a bright acidity and notes of cocoa, mocha and spiced oak mingling harmoniously in the long, warming finish.


Once you've chosen your favourite there's only a few important things left to do; open, pour and then kick back and relax, for an hour or two anyway!


Cheers!
