“In this series we bring you our #FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions which we personally recommend”
#FavouriteThings Holiday Gift Suggestions are the outstanding white wine varietals from Church and State. All would be the perfect choice to grace your holiday table, share with guests or for the cook as he/she takes a well earned holiay break.
May we suggest:
Marsanne
This beautiful golden wine opens with aromas of fresh apricot, dried orange peel, and honeycomb, finishing with subtle oak and floral notes. It boasts a soft, round, and balanced palate with fruity flavors and almond notes.
Pinot Gris
This bright dry white wine showcases tropical fruit aromas and a delicate balance between roundness and acidity. The nose is very expressive of lemon, exotic fruit, ripe pear, and ginger. On the palate it is balanced between soft acidity and ripe fruit texture. This wine pairs well with seafood, especially salmon with fennel, and complements dishes accompanied by light cream sauces.
Roussanne
Light yellow with a golden reflection, this wine is expressive on the nose with scents of ripe stone fruit, butter, almond, and vanilla. The palate has a soft round voluptuousness with a hint of acidity which carries the flavours and aromas through to the finish. This amazing wine is well paired with seafood cooked in cream or melted butter, and spices such as saffron and nutmeg.
Trebella
Soon to be released.
Viognier
On the nose we are met with jasmine flowers, lychee fruit & sweet grass. This wine has a lean, oily mouthfeel with bright acidity. The palate expresses notes of cardamom, stone fruit, slate, honey dew & lemon.
