12 Wines of Christmas WINE #1

Welcome to our first day of our 12 Wines of Christmas countdown! Over the next twelve days we will reveal a new wine each day paired with our winery family's favourite holiday activities, as part of our wine advent. We invite everyone to join in on the fun with us. Almost every bottle has a surprise attached to it, so be sure to watch for this and pull out each wine carefully.

Let's get the holidays rolling with Advent Wine #1, our newly released Dolcetto 2022! Dolcetto is a grape that consistently inspires experimentation and excitement, with every new vintage. This Italian varietal was planted in 2012 at our Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard and our first vintage was harvested in 2015. Dolcetto features bright flavours of sour cherries, Italian prune, plums, blueberry pie and bramble mingle with more masculine notes of earth, dried violets, spice and savoury botanicals.

With its deliciously soft tannins and vibrantly expressive grape character, Dolcetto is the perfect accompaniment to pizza, charcuterie, pasta, spaghetti & meatballs, and many more Italian-inspired dishes. We hope you will enjoy this Italian Meatballs recipe from our partner-in-food, Chef Jordan Ash (recipe on our blog).

We've also created a Stag's Hollow Favourite Holiday playlist on Spotify to get you in the holiday mood, enjoy 🎶🍷
