#christmasdownunder

Feeling blessed I can spend the morning of Christmas Eve like this, with my best bud at our local stretch of paradise. 👙🌊 We walked down, had a swim inside the break - so (wheee!) north with the current and hard work back - then I did a 400m beach dash just for fun (puff pant). Well, it exfoliates your feet for free too! 😂 Back home, I realised that I haven’t been cued in to the chocolate advent calendar this week. So I flicked some balls down the table to Rob, through the placemats - table golf! I bags the angel. 😇🎄🎅

Day 6: Rolf Binder, Eden Valley, Montepulciano, 2018 A variety best known from the Italian region of Abruzzo. This wine is still young and vibrant. Aromas of perfume, red berries, liquorice and a slight meatiness. The palate is dense and delicious, dark fruit with gripping and tight tannins. Eden Valley is well known for producing wines that are age worthy and this one is for sure. I would definitely recommend to age this wine for a while longer, maybe 2 years. #christmasdownunder #christmas2020 #christmas #italianreds #edenvalley #australianwine #redwine #red #winegeek #winesofinstagram #winereview #wine #montepulciano https://www.instagram.com/p/CIc2HgwpszE/?igshid=ycufyoteyeer

Day 5: Discovery Road Graciano Rosé, Barossa, produced by Gibson Wines. A beautiful blush pink colour, strawberries&cream, raspberries and slight spicy notes. The palate is clean, crisp and refreshing, yet also has hints of savoury notes. And you might wonder why I'm taking this picture by candlelight? We'll, SA is experiencing winds of biblical proportions and the power is out. Merry Christmas everyone! Be safe out there. #christmas2020 #christmasdownunder #australia #australianwine #rose #wine #barossawine #barossa https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaY88ipCcS/?igshid=14fdpibicxof4

Day 4: Yes, the wine and winemaker is just as quirky as this wine. It is abundant in aromas of oranges, elderflower, roses and Turkish delight. The palate is dry, clean, crisp and notes of lemon and lime hard boiled candy lingers. Although the wine is naturally made, unfiltered don't be put off by the murkiness, it adds to the lovely texture of this wine and rounds it out beautifully, without it this wine would not be balanced. A beautifully crafted wine, thank you @dg_85, DELICIOUS!
