Twelve Wines of Christmas

Twelve Wines of Christmas a guide for Aussies





Wine selection at Christmas can be a good time to try some

different styles and varieties. Use teh holiday season to try

out some of these wonderful Australian wines made from less

common grape varietes.





You need to consider food matching. It's good to have something

different on hand to drink on those formal and informal

occasions. Here are are few Christmas wines I will be trying,

along with some food suggestions.





Mann Cygne Blanc (Method Champenoise) This one is a different

sparkler, and there are plenty of occasions that call for

bubbles over the silly season.





Irvine Meslier Brut Another sparkling wine from left field made

by the Master of Merlot James Irvine. This wine is made from the

obscure Petit Meslier variety. Crisp and light this will be the

ideal start to any celbration or dinner.





Kangarilla Road Viognier You won't find a better Viognier than

this, and you won't find a better varietal wine to go with

chicken, either club sandwiches or the full roast.





A Murray Cod Called Bruce Vermentino A very clumsy name for a

very good wine, made by the Murray Darling Collection and equal

best regional wine at AAVWS 2005. You will find plenty of

occasions for this wine over the summer holiday season.





Garry Crittenden Geppetto Arneis This is a wonderful wine with

honey fruit aromas but still quite crisp. Just the thing for

informal summer salad lunches, but it has enough oomph to go

with seafood as well.





Galafrey Muller Thurgau The experts scoff at this variety but if

you can get a bottle of this, produced in the cool climate of Mt

Barker WA, you may see why some people step outside of the

varietal square. Drink it with the same foods as you would have

with riesling.





Morris Sparkling Durif Drink this with the Xmas duck (why have a

turkey when you can have duck?) Sparkling reds are just the

thing with a festive roast dinner.





Cobaw Ridge Lagrein A big and rich wine that would enhance any

festive roast. The richness and depth of flavours in this wine

show a great future for this Italian variety.





Aldinga Bay Petit Verdot This wine shows why the warmer McLaren

Vale is a better habitat for the variety than its native

Bordeaux. Enjoy it with meaty dishes or the inevitable summer

barbecue.





Vigne Bottin Sangiovese A versatile wine but like all

Sangioveses it cries out for food; so give it a go with anything

Italian, pasta, antipasto, veal.





Pizzini Verduzzo Light and drinkable it can be enjoyed as a late

afternoon beverege, or it can accompany fruit based deserts.





Leda Swan Pedro Ximenes This is a lovely desert wine, showing

all of the beautiful flavours of PX, but it isn't fortified.

(11% alcohol means you can have a second glass!) Just the thing

with christmas cake or mince tarts.
