When Good Pair Days said they were releasing a wine advent calendar I knew I had to give it a go!
In your wine advent calendar you’ll get 12 bottles with the options of Reds, Chillables or a mix of both! I went for the Chillables which is a mix of Rose, White and Sparkling.
You also got the wine chiller and 2 insulated champagne flutes as an extra free gift.
Funkstille Grüner Veltliner 2021 – Austria
I don’t drink much white wine these days as it doesn’t love me very much but this one was really good. I for sure could have had it without lemonade which is a rare occurance!
This wine’s tasting notes are leaning towards light bodied, dry, with high acidity, very fruity, low tannins, medium alcohol and no oak.
My Rating 5 / 5
Jean Paul ‘Sec’ Colombard 2021 – France
This one was ok, not quite as nice as the Funkstille bottle but still a pretty good wine.

Cielo e Terra ‘Bella Storia Ekuò’ Sparkling NV – Italy
This wine’s tasting notes are leaning towards light bodied, low sweetness, with high acidity, some fruitiness, low tannins, medium alcohol and no oak.
I’m not going to lie this is probably going to stay undrunk for quite some time but when I eventually drink it I will update what I thought!
Aubert & Mathieu ‘Palooza’ Rosé 2021 – France
I liked this one, I probably could have drank it without lemonade too.

Château de l’Escarelle ‘Palm Par L’Escarelle’ Rosé 2021 – France
This one was ok, I stuck some lemonade in which helped bit of a middle of the road wine for me.

Proverbio Extra Dry Prosecco NV – Italy
Again this is likely to sit undrunk for quite some time! Hopefully we will find a reason to pop it open eventually!

You also get these little tags just incase you want to gift any of your bottles.
