Twelve Wines of Christmas

 
 

The close of another big year should be marked with a sense of occasion, so why not take every opportunity to drink deliciously in December.

Wine  Buyer Chris Webb needed little encouragement to dive into the cellar and curate a list of  wines  that are worthy of a celebration.  Our  12  Wines  of  Christmas  represent  wines  that are aged, limited  in production  or are an incredible vintage that we've been patiently  waiting for the right moment to enjoy.

What better way to explore this  incredible collection than through a taste, a glass  or even a half-bottle carafe?

Discover compelling  Pinot Noir from California's Santa Barbara County  through the lens of the region's 'godfather' Jim Clendenen's Au Bon  Climat;  discover the magic of Jura with a Burgundian twist  via  Domaine du Pelican's Savagnin from the storied soils of Arbois. Or  perhaps delve deep into local benchmarks with  a quintessential Yarra Valley Cabernet Sauvignon  blend from Yeringberg.

There's no finer way to celebrate.

We are thrilled to share mature Riesling from  century-old  vineyards from  the Saar Valley in Germany, or dive into the world  of  terroir-driven  champagne  with Adrien Renoir's Blanc de Noirs from the Grand Cru village of  Verzy.

Our  12  Wines  of  Christmas  is  a collection of  wines  that our whole team gets really excited about. It allows us to share our true  loves  within  the world of wine with our guests here at Cumulus  Inc.

Please note, this collection is only available for the duration of December 2023. Watch this space to find our next selection in December 2024.
