It\u2019s December, and after the year we\u2019ve had, well be looking forward to a time to relax, with friends and family, for hearts-a-glowing and much mistletoe-ing. With a little planning, or even a bit of sage advice; your holiday lineup of wines could be looking as amazing as your Christmas jumper or your neighbours Xmas lights. Some of these wines might be good for the big day alongside the turkey, or for taking over to your Gran\u2019s bach on Boxing Day. And one or two should definitely be on your Santa list \u2013 whether you\u2019ve been naughty or nice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve not picked anything that will blow the budget, but PLEASE\u2026 if you only read this bit\u2026 Rule No.1: don\u2019t throw $60 on a really average bottle of big-name French sparkling wine. That would be so much better spent on a really decent bottle of New Zealand bubbles AND a good bottle of wine for the table. Yes, both<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I have been looking back at the wines that I\u2019ve tasted in 2021, but with a fair budget in mind. There will be a separate list in a few days time where I talk about the very best wines that have crossed my path this year, but for now we\u2019re not breaking into the kids piggy banks.

#1 No.1 Family Cuv\u00e9e<\/strong>. A beautiful Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay). Dry and elegant, showing a racy, mineral-flecked acidity with real power and drive into the palate. A little \u2018softer\u2019 than a Brut style, although has all your champagne flavours. $35.99<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Moving on to a selection of white wine choices (and a ros\u00e9)\u2026<\/p>

#2 The Landing \u2018Boathouse\u2019 Pinot Gris<\/strong>. Classic varietal aromas, appetising acidity and \u201cwell made, with real personality\u201d This label won our \u2018top 10 tasting\u2019 for Syrah, this year, but their other wines are all really good. $27<\/strong><\/p>

#3 Rapaura Springs \u2018Bouldevines Vineyard\u2019 Chardonnay 2019. <\/strong>A vibrant smoky, flinty edge is immediate, backed up with red apple, roast cashew, chamomile, lemon and a cr\u00e8me fraiche, mineral salinity. Plush, complex, layered \u2013 lots going on. $29.99<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

#4 Esk Valley Albarino<\/strong>. Reviewed back in March, with \u201cHeroic \u2013 there\u2019s an elegant purity to the fruit expression and the unpretentious way it\u2019s presented. Simple but powerful\u201d not something I write about every wine I taste! Still a relative newcomer of a variety, this is well worth a try \u2013 it now sells under the \u2018Artisanal Range\u2019 from Esk Valley $24.99<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

#5 Love Block Sauvignon Blanc. <\/strong>Dry, serious but vivacious. The nose is less grassy and herbal, but leads you into a scented garden of elderflower, lemongrass, almond, peach blossom, chamomile and grapefruits. $22.99<\/strong><\/p>

#6 Askerne \u2018Serieux\u2019 Ros\u00e9. <\/strong>One of a pair of ros\u00e9 wines from this Hawke\u2019s Bay label \u2013 A big bouquet of summer fruits \u2013 red berries, melon, white peach and apricot, with a likeable bubblegum note on the nose as well.

Great NZ red wines at lower price points used to be a problem; but looking at the Trophy winners from the last few week; it certainly feels like there is very good wine at the $20 mark if you buy carefully. I have no problem recommending this handful:<\/p>

#7 Church Road \u2018McDonald series\u2019 Syrah 2019. <\/strong>A wine that just keeps winning \u2013 receiving the Trophy for Champion Syrah at both the NZIWS and the Royal Easter Show. Medium bodied, with a tension and balance between acidity, fine tannin and ripe fruit. $26.997<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

#8 Elephant Hill \u2018Le Phant Rouge\u2019 2019<\/strong>. A Merlot-dominated red blend, shared with Malbec and Syrah this year, from Hawke\u2019s Bay. Juicy aromatics of cassis, damson, mulberry and provencal herb notes. A good vintage, lovely wine, great value. $19.99<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

#9 Alexia \u2018Fleeting Glimpse\u2019 Pinot Noir. <\/strong>I was at the opening day of the Alexia Urban Winery in Greytown, Wairarapa, last year and picked up this impressive Pinot. As much about celebrating the tight, supple tannin as it is the ripe fruit. Complex, ethereal, and yet with stunning depth. $35<\/strong><\/p>

#10\u00a0Marsden Estate Tempranillo 2019. <\/strong>Dense, dark and ripe, with lovely silky tannins. One for a big slab of red meat. They don\u2019t make it every year, but this \u201919, from a great vintage is well worth hunting for. $30.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
