Revel in Your Christmas Celebrations With the Finest Wine! The 5 Most Popular Wines of 2021

The 5 Most Popular Wines of 2021

The festive season starts with Christmas Wines being lined up to kick-start the celebrations on the right foot. After putting a delicious Christmas dinner menu together, the only thing that can alleviate your yearly celebrations is a fine glass of wine. The finest batches ensure that everyone enjoys the party, along with having a great night.

But whether you need a sparkling rose wine to go with your main course or just want to have a perfect bottle of the best pinot noir to watch your favourite Christmas movie with your friends, you will find an exquisite collection that can often be daunting to choose from.

Below, we have mentioned a great list of the best wines that can perfectly go with your Christmas celebration:

1. Delicious Chardonnay White Wines

Chardonnay is a popular green grape variety with vital ingredients that make white wines. The grape is a new blank canvas, which is amalgamated with different flavours to create exciting drinks in a gamut of different styles. Chardonnay wines are largely in demand across the world, especially during the festive season. Even if you don't regularly drink, this popular white wine has certainly come to your notice in various events. It has a neutral and malleable character that can be moulded to make rich sparkling wines into buttery white wines.

Shiraz Wine

2. Best Shiraz Red Wines

Shiraz is a bold, full-bodied, and spicy red wine that is loved by many. Made from a dark-skinned variety of grapes, this brambly and spiced red wine complements the best with barbecued or roasted meat, hard cheese, and stews. The rich and tannic mouthfeel of Shiraz wines makes it more remarkable for any celebration. The aromatic notes of paper, leather, chocolate, and liquorice make it more of an excuse when amalgamated with the note of olives, berries, and herbs.

3. Celebrate with Sparkling Wines

Nothing can be better than a bottle of wine with bubbles to soothe your troubles and let you enjoy your Christmas. There is an incredibly pleasurable world of sparkling wines that can be explored beyond the borders of any champagne as the perfect drink for your holiday celebrations. Sparkling red wines showcase a sense of style and expression while you enjoy the mesmerizing tastes. Sparkling wine that is not from the champagne category makes you feel like you are having the best time of your life lying on the beach. There is a wide range that you can always explore and enjoy.

Pinot Noir Red Wine

4. Classic Pinot Noir Red Wines

Pinot Noir Wines have created an immense following of wine enthusiasts because of their exquisite taste and luxurious feel. These drinks are naturally lighter than other red wines and have a lower quantity of tannin. Lighter in the mouth and being fruit-forward, these drinks are extensively food-friendly and are commonly used in celebrations like Christmas. The best part is that they have a natural berry flavour that is excellent for all seasons.

5. Sweet Rose Wines

Rose wines have been largely in demand in recent years. This ideal go-to brunch beverage is for millennials, wine enthusiasts, and lovely old couples who just want to have a satisfying time with a glass of good wine. You would be amazed to know that Rose Champagne is one of the oldest types of drinks. It has the most diverse and versatile range that hundreds of millions of people love. This drink will show you how beautifully the taste of different fruits like Raspberry and strawberry can be added together to get a distinct and complementary flavour.

James Halliday Australian Cabernet Challenge.

Very pleased to be one of two Gold medals (95 points) awarded to Yarra Valley entrants in the James Halliday Australian Cabernet Challenge judged 7-9 Sept 2020. Following 93 and 92 points in the 2019 Victorian Wine Show and Halliday Wine Companion 2021 respectively, this gold medal is a good culmination for this wine. Personally, I just enjoy drinking it, and we shouldn't forget that most important aspect of wine.

Bianchet Vineyard label

Labels finally on bottles, look for on-line specials. 6 wines form the Bianchet Vineyard. It is pleasing how the vines are responding to proper care and attention with good crops, but more exciting, good flavours as you would expect from old dry grown vines.

Current business

In light of recent restrictions Cosmo Wines @ Bianchet Winery will be open for sales only, no tastings until further notice. We are currently nearing the end of harvest so hope to conclude the season without interruption. Crops are down a bit but the flavours are good and the wines are showing promise. Call by and check the Cellar specials.
