Winter wine experiences you've never tried, but you should.

By Nitesh Bhatia, CEO and founder of Just Wines

 

Winter is coming and in Australia it's more about netball season, winter knits and backyard fire pits than white walkers. It's also a time when we're more likely to pour ourselves a red than a rosι.

 

There is something about drinking full bodied reds that is so warming in the colder months and pinot noir, shiraz and fortified wine have earned their popularity among wine-drinking Australians for a good reason.

 

But, there are some sumptuous-tasting alternatives, I encourage you to add to the mix this year.

 

Here are 6 out of the ordinary wine experiences that are best served when it's cold:

 

Tempranillo – You will thank me when you embrace this Spanish favourite. While the imported labels are nice, Australian winemakers have done a stunning job producing juicy raspberry and cherry flavours (you'll especially like tempranillo if you like pinot noir).

 

Nebbiolo – Another European favourite that Aussies do great justice to (hardly surprising considering the rich heritage of Italian winemakers in this country). The hero of the Italian winemakers, this one is great with food. Nebbiolo from Victoria comes highly recommended.

 

Grenache – This is your go-to if you're partial to shiraz and especially easy to enjoy in winter. Originating in France and Spain, this variety was popular in Australia right back in the 1800s and again around 1920 to the mid-sixties. Today, it's experiencing a resurgence as people re-discover its subtle, yet flavoursome qualities.

 

Chardonnay – Yes, Chardonnay. It may be chilly but don't discount your whites. Chardonnay has come a long way in recent years and has earned itself a new reputation thanks to a more refined taste. Even if you think winter is only for reds, give some whites a try, but don't be so concerned with serving them chilled.

 

Viognier – This is mid-weight and fragrant and well-suited to more winter-style cuisine. Grilled and smoked foods – and even red meat, fish and rich pasta dishes – are paired well with Viognier on a cold night.

 

Winter wine tours – While the idyllic sunny days may be behind us, don't forget to visit our cellar doors. There is still much work to do in the wineries following harvest time and it's a great opportunity to meet the winemakers, pick up a bargain, take in the stunning winter scenery and attend a winter festival.
