This 3 pack contains one bottle of each of the following wines:
NV Pax Vinum Paco Molina Cava Brut
Penedes, Spain
A classically styled Cava composed of Macabeu, Parellada and Xarello that spends 12 months on the lees. There's soft orchard fruit notes of pear and fleshy apple alongside some earthier notes of chalk and a faint hint of honey. There's a flash of brightness in the acidity, which resolves fairly quickly and leads into the elegant mousse that foams the palate. There's just a suggestion of residual sugar on the finish. Best served chilled as an aperitif or with lightly fried seafoods, classics apps or go super simple with a bag of salty, crunchy chips.
NV La Querce Seconda Barabba Toscana Rosso
Tuscany
A pure Sangiovese thriller with all the hallmarks of a classic Tuscan IGT wine mirrored by modern and refined winemaking. There's classic Tuscan intensity counterbalanced by a low-intervention freshness. Sangiovese, a naturally high acid grape, is zippy here with crunchy red cherry, raspberry, ripe plum. Winemaking is done in stainless steel but you don't get the impression that the wine is lacking in depth. It's multidimensional and intriguing but wildly delicious and easy-drinking at the same time. Dynamite stuff from this crew!
2023 Domaine Bulliat Sur Le Granit
Beaujolais
This is 100% Chardonnay, farmed organically and biodynamically, with a medium-bodied and mineral-driven outline. The fruit tends towards the citrus family, leaning somewhere between tart lemon zest and sweet lemon pulp with hints of pear and white nectarine too. There's loads of minerality on this, as most Beaujolais Blanc tend to give, with some strong white floral expressions leading through to a refreshing jolt of racy acidity. In a word: pretty. Pair with seafood for a gorgeous weeknight combo or some sour cream and onion chips for a low-key holiday movie night.
