Assorted wine styles across 5 wines, for all your festive gathering needs. There's bound to be something for everyone! 1 x sparkling, 3 x oranges and 1 x fizzy light red. 1. Gordia Pét-Nat White 2022 (Sparkling) This Pét-Nat White pops with citrus, green apple, and white flowers; with a whisper of sea salt from the coastal marl soils. Gordia Pét-Nats are born where ocean breeze meets vineyard slope. Grown organically on seaside hills, these naturally sparkling wines are light on fizz, big on fun, and a little bit wild - a cheeky, refreshing alternative to champagne. Serving temperature: 4-6° C 2. Vini Felici, Zibibbo 2022 (Light, Aromatic Orange) Our first Zibibbo and it’s a stunning one! Located in between Sicily and Tunisia (North Africa), the island of Pantelleria is the spiritual home of Zibibbo. This dry muscat wine is especially fresh, light and aromatic, with notes of elderflower, tropical fruits, nutmeg, raisin, sweet spice. Maceration for 3 days, and fermented and aged for 1 year on the yeast. The Zibbibo grape, also known as Muscat of Alexandria, is one of the oldest known and rarest grapes in the world. It’s a ‘triple threat’ - a wine grape, table grape and raisin grape all in one. Its extreme adaptability is the main reason for its 5,000 years of history. In Pantelleria, the grapes are grown in low bush vines to protect them from strong winds - a UNESCO-recognised agricultural method. 3. BORAC by Rojac 2020 (Medium Orange) Sweet aroma of orange peel, peaches and vanilla. Palate is savoury, mineral with balsamic tensions and nice tannins. Great aging potential, but why wait? 5 months skin maceration from September to January in underground amphora, aged 18 months in large wooden barrel. We are bringing back one of our most popular orange wines from our first drop! This excellent introduction to orange is the joint creation of two friends and excellent winemakers, Boris Novak and Uros Rojac, hence the name BORAC. Made with 100% Malvasia. 4. Vina Krapez, Amfora 2019 (Complex, Full-bodied Orange) Aromas of ripe flowers, grapefruit, vanilla, caramel, black tea, wood. Full bodied with tannins and a looong finish. Decant to drink now or can be aged. Great with spicy, flavourful food. 12 months maceration in amphora, aged 12 months in oak barrels. Only 1500 bottles 5. Weingut Haider, Jung & Sexy 2023 A red wine that's also fizzy?? Weingut Haider is a biodynamic producer in Austria that makes this sexy, sparkling red which is bound to get you into a festive mood. As it unravels, the bubbles become soft and it evokes lovely, fruity aromas of ripe strawberry, sour cranberries with a hint of vanilla pod; think along the lines of cherry cola. On the palette, it's fruity, friendly and has slight perceived sweetness - although it's a dry wine. It goes with anything from - dare we say - chicken rice to chocolate cake!
