1. ANNES FAVORIT - JAZZED UP BY ISEGRIM
Anne: "Think plantains, dried fruit, honey, nuts and rum cake!
This decadent yet fresh (orange) Pinot Blanc will cheer you up a little in the colder months!"
2. KOSTIA'S FAVORITE - TATTOUINE FROM MATASSA
Kostia: "Christmas is for red wine, that's for sure. Tattouine is an excellent companion for any special evening. The perfect balance between freshness and spice. You won't fall asleep by the fire with this wine. No, it will entertain you with stories of the old days when Luke Skywalker was a farm boy. (Google 'Tattouine')."
3. MELIS' FAVORITE - BFF BY JOISEPH
Melis: "THE perfect wine to pair with Christmas dishes, whatever it may be in your home! It's perfectly balanced between medium body and juicy flavor; with notes of blackberries, plums, cherries and dark chocolate."
4. NORA'S FAVORITE - WHITE FROM BANQUET OF GODS
Nora: "Are you looking for an orange wine that has it all? This Riesling/Weißburgunder cuvée has everything you need: tannins, strong aromas of wild tropical fruit, stone fruit and a hint of yoghurt for a deliciously salty creaminess. Cheers to a tasty experience!"
5. MARGAUX'S FAVORITE - PINOT GRIS BY PHILIP LARDOT
Margaux: "A really interesting wine! Pinot Gris is technically a white grape, but because it has a pink touch, it gives this mash-fermented wine a light rosé color. On the palate, however, you have the profile of an orange wine. It is super balanced in flavor and acidity and has nice tannins on the finish. What a surprising contrast to the color!"
6. RAMONA'S FAVORITE - PIN-OH FROM THE RENNERSISTAS
Ramona: "This is my favorite Pinot Noir! It's the ultimate comfort wine: cocoa nibs, cherries, tobacco and nutmeg. It's elegant and wild at the same time, rich and tangy. Are you looking for a red wine that goes well with a fancy Christmas dinner, but also with a quiet evening on the couch? Then you've found it now."
7. PHILIPP'S FAVORITE - SILVANER FROM CHRIS BARTH
Philipp: "This mineral and creamy Silvaner from Christoph Barth is Christmas brunch in a glass. It tastes like crispy toast with slightly melted, salty butter just before you put the salmon on top. Great wine for a great celebration."
8. JESS FAVORIT - HEIDEBODEN BY CLAUS PREISINGER
Jess: "This blend of Zweigelt and Merlot from Preisinger is one of my favorite wines to cozy up with indoors on a cold day. It's perfect with roasted vegetables for a festive meal, but also works well without accompaniment. In any case, it adds warmth to all situations!"
9. ANNAS FAVORIT - PET NAT ROSÉ FROM PIRI NATUREL
Anna: "Christmas has so many associations for me and for some reason, cranberries are one of them. Especially my grandma's homemade cranberry jam with freshly baked schnitzel on December 25th. The Pet Nat from Piri has such a wonderful hint of berries, just as if I were stirring the jam pot with my grandma again."
With these great wines, Christmas can only be a happy one!
