What to drink in December: Celebrate with Bubbles & Rosé!

With Christmas just round the corner and the holiday season drawing ever closer we feel that the two wines to be drunk this December are The De Grendel Rose 2015 and of course our MCC 2013.

The Rose is the perfect summer cooler and can be enjoyed by itself next to the pool or the perfect accompaniment to your summer lunches. The wine has an attractive strawberry pink colour. Ample fruit reminds of red berries, strawberries and watermelon. The wine has a crisp, dry finish with a very well-structured natural acidity. All of the characteristics of this wine screams summer fun.

With the celebration of Christmas and New Year what celebration would be complete without the bubbles? De Grendel’s 2013 MCC exudes with fresh citrus, apple and sweet tropical fruit flavours backed by some lemon-cream richness. The fruit weight fills out the mid-palate and the mineral crispness ensures a well-balanced wine with substantial length. The beauty of the MCC is that it is great by itself to celebrate or a perfect food partner to all of the luxury foods that will be on tables everywhere over the festive season. Think oysters, smoked salmon and sushi all of these are the perfect match for this celebration of everything good.
