Christmas Essentials Value Mixed Dozen

Louis Perdrier Brut NV - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It is attractively expressed on the nose showing rockmelon, orange peel, floral and subtle yeasty notes, leading to a juicy palate that is rounded and refreshing. A delightful sparkling wine offering bright fruit intensity and smooth mouthfeel, finishing lingering and vibrant."

Les Petite Jamelles Rosé 2024 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Pristine and delicate, the wine presents aromas of crunchy apple, nectarine, and lemon peel, with a hint of sweet strawberry. It's juicy and linear on the palate with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing crisp-dry and lingering. At its best: now to 2027."

Otu Limited Release Pinot Noir Rosé 2024 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "This is instantly appealing on the nose, showing sweet strawberry, crunchy apple, lemon peel, and floral aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with juicy fruit intensity and fleshy texture, leading to a lengthy, delectable finish."

Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc 2025 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Upfront and fabulously aromatic, the bouquet presents notes of feijoa, kiwifruit, crunchy apple, and lemon zest. The palate is equally appealing with excellent fruit intensity backed by fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing long and delicious. At its best: now to 2028."

Summerhouse Pinot Gris 2024 - Cameron Douglas MS writes "Aromatic and enticing with a bouquet of spice and ripe white fleshed fruits, white nectarine, green pear and apple. There’s a light saline mineral quality and quince highlight. An abundance of flavours engages the palate immediately with fruit spices and flavours that reflect the bouquet, as well as a orange peel quality. Just dry, fleshy textured perfectly weighted, plenty of acidity and ready to drink from late 2024 through 2027. Outstanding value."

Sherwood Francesca Bay Pinot Noir 2024 - The winery writes "A classic medium bodied pinot noir full of flavour. Oak aging has rounded the ripe flavours to produce a wine that is perfect with meat and cheese or just great to enjoy with friends."
