Christmas Countdown – Vinea Marson Heathcote Shiraz Viognier 2013

Delicious. Divine. Disarming….

Yep, only 209 days until Christmas and like Molly Meldrum famously said, “Do yourself a favour…”, and grab this absolute ripper. The Vinea Marson Heathcote Shiraz Viognier 2013 is so off the charts it’s not funny; ripe raspberry, silky smooth tannins, earthy notes, black olive.

Could you imagine this with a juicy roast beef sitting in the middle of the Christmas lunch table? But who can wait that long; not me. Just imagine this then sitting in a glass with tonights dinner where all it will set you back is $40. Yes please….

The Christmas Cowntdown is on – Camporsino Chianti DOCG Tuscany 2016

Is it ever too early to be thinking about what wine(s) will adorn the Christmas lunch table? No, I didn’t think so either. So with that sorted lets kick off our Christmas Wine countdown in May.

Lets start with the Camporsino Chianti DOCG Tuscany 2016 which is 100% Sangiovese. Gorgeous dark morello cherry and wet terracotta on the nose, the wine opens in the palate with a darker hit of cherry that is held together wonderfully – yes wonderfully – with mouth watering chewy tannins. What a ripping little number this one is. And the best thing is you do not have to wait for Christmas Day; you can come in today and swap it for $25. Mucho-fantastico stuff!!!!

and just so you know – there are 214 days until Christmas!!!
