Champagne Selection 

These wines are awarded by Wine Spectator with 92 points for its superior character and style. That said, don’t you think it’s worth giving these a taste? 

Fun fact : Champagne is a region in France that first started the most famous traditional winemaking technique for sparkling wines. It is a combination of three key grape varieties: 1. Chardonnay gives liveliness to the wine with its high acid that spruces its citrus and floral character. 2. Pinot Noir adds a red fruit character in the blend and gives body and structure to the wine. 3. Pinot Meunier adds more fruitiness, freshness and roundness to the blend.

GIFTS TO IMPRESS:

We’ve listed incredibly designed bottles; that are undoubtedly quality wines. These are wines that make great options if you’re looking to gift to impress. 

1. Zonin Prosecco Black 750ml - P1149
It has an exquisite, sleek bottle design that gives you an impression of the wine’s elegant characteristics. It is a dry wine that has an intense characteristic of the ripe red cherry, spiced with cardamom, and nuance of floral aroma. It is decidedly sharp, but well-structured that leaves a persistent impression on palate.

2. Bottega Gold 750ml - P1799
In a mesmerizing gold bottle design, this Prosecco DOC wine is a must-have for the holiday parties! It is persistently flavorful and aromatic with notes of green apples, pear, citrus fruits and acacia flowers. As elegant as the bottle, its elegance is also remarkable on the palate. It has bright acidity that is remarkably refreshing and balanced.

3. Dom Perignon Brut 750ml - P11599
Definitely a luxury champagne to impress, and should be opened on special occasions! This vintage champagne has been aged in the bottle for at least 8 years to develop a bouquet of complex aromas. Did you know that this wine is not produced every vintage year? The winemaker ensures that the wine has a capability to age no less than 20 years, thus releasing about 6 vintages in every 10 years. Despite the long aging, the wine imposes its full and massive presence with its generous and firm zesty tropical fruits, touch of florals, and lingering spice notes.

Keep in Mind: 

These sparkling wines are characterized by high acidity that opens up the appetite before getting into generous dinners. This is why it’s the perfect wine for aperitivo or appetizers.  It is most enjoyable with appetizers like cured meat, nachos with dip, mini tapas or sushi topped with salty meats like fish or cold cuts. 

We recommend keeping the wines in good condition, with no direct light or heat (definitely, not in the kitchen). Serving the wines well chilled at 6-10 degree Celsius in flute wine glasses is the best way to enjoy it!

Drink moderately.
