A 'White' Christmas Case

Whether or not there will be snow on Christmas day is anybody's guess, but this fine case of crisp, refreshing wines are sure to make your festive celebrations truly magical.

Domaine Amelie et Charles Sparr, Sentiment Riesling, 2018

"This is a relatively restrained dry riesling with wet stones, lime and lemon zest. It's medium-bodied. Light toffee and wax at the end. Sharp acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certified." 92/100 James Suckling

Tenuta San Leonardo, Vette di San Leonardo Sauvignon Blanc, 2022

"Intense, the 2022 Vette di San Leonardo, a varietal Sauvignon Blanc, explodes from the glass with a spicy blend of grapefruit zest, wild herbs and savory spice. It's silky in texture with juicy acidity and depths of tart citrus fruit and sour melon tones that add a tart tension toward the close. The 2022 leaves the palate completely refreshed yet finishes long, leaving the cheeks puckered with the taster thirsting for more." 91/100 Eric Guido, Vinous

Casal da Coelheira, White, 2022

"13% alcohol. Verdelho, Fernao Pires and Arinto. Sandy soils. Highly aromatic and fresh with a lovely textured palate showing primary pear and citrus fruit with some fine spiciness. Lovely weight here with beautiful fruit, showing a bit of weight but also a touch of grapefruit freshness on the finish." 90/100 Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak

Chablis, Albert Bichot, 2018

"The 2018 Chablis is a very pretty wine. Dried pear, almond and dried flowers give the Chablis lovely aromatic complexity and nuance. Soft, silky and expressive" 88-90/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Donnachiara, Greco di Tufo DOCG, 2022

"Greco’s inherently higher acidity benefits a warm, lower acid year such as this. Red apple husk, pink grapefruit, talc and lemon balm. The charge of acidity finds confluence with a rasp across the gums. The finish, strident, intense and impressively long. Good opening act." 91/100 James Suckling

Bouza do Rei, Gran Seleccion, 2021

"Radiating a brilliant golden straw hue, this wine opens with an intense bouquet—papaya, lychees, and water pear interlace with menthol, minerals, and a hint of brine. The palate delights in pineapple, yellow apple, and hints of aromatic herbs, framed by a mineral core. The journey culminates in a persistently pleasurable bitter finish." Honest Grapes
