Dornfelder

  • Alcohol: 12,5%
  • Style: Medium-bodied red wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Alles gute
  • Price: 250 Kč

Mike's Tip

Dornfelder is the most commonly grown red grape variety in Germany. For a basic wine, I found a very good balance of fruit and tannin, with a surprisingly long fruity finish that was just a little sweet. Simple in presentation, but one that can absolutely hold its own in this price range.

Mike's Tip

A fruity, medium bodied mix of Pinotage, Shiraz, and Cinsaut coming from a winery nearly 100 years old. A simple instruction for this one = serve with red meat. Beef or lamb, they will both fit the bill.

Mike's Tip

Classy - I can not remember a December box where we didn't have at least one Bordeaux included. I am of the Merlot / Cabernet camp, and this one offers all the tannins one would expect with a majority Merlot blend. Deep, rich and fruity, this one is perfect for any serving of beef.

Mike's Tip

Starter - A simple Primitivo (Zinfandel) is one of those go everywhere reds. This has a small blend of Syrah to make it a little spicy, and all the fruitier. Go for this one when you need a little oil and inspiration in the kitchen preparing those monster meals for the extended family. Simple but effective :-)

Mike's Tip

Crowd Pleaser - Named regional champion in this years Prague Wine Trophy, this versatile "everyone loves me" white wine will go with just about everything on your holiday table. Lightly and refreshing with a good balance of fruit and acidity, grab this one when your not sure what the crowds of in-laws will like.

Frizzante Bella Gioa

  • Grape: Cuveé
  • Alcohol: 11%
  • Style: Medium-bodied dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Price: 170 Kč

Mike's Tip

Just relax. Frizzante is officially a semi-sparkling wine as it has less pressure than a Prosecco or champagne. This also means that is is usually very dry and a very easy drink. We loved the Chardonnay flavor and light bubble.

Bellagioia

Wine description:

  • Country: Italy

  • Alcohol: 11%
  • Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Surprisingly Rich
  • Price: 170 Kč

Mike's Tip

Did you know that the correct name for a cuvee is "Multivarietal" ? Maybe too much information. I kind of wanted to do more Vinho Verde without having to go back to Portugal, so we found a super value Frizzante. Dry and fantastically refreshing, the balance this lightly sparkling wine brings at this price is nothing other than unbelievable.
Keep this one in mind you your are going to need some affordable bubbles ;-)

Vigna di Pallino Chianti

Wine description:

  • Country: Italy
  • Grape: Sangiovese
  • Alcohol: 13,5%
  • Style: Medium-bodied red wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 327 Kč

Mike's Tip

100% Sangiovesse, from what one organization dubbed the Italian winemaker of the year. Medium bodied with pronounced tannin, Chianti is my ideal red wine for red meat.

Vigna di Pallino IGT Toscana

Wine description:

  • Country: Italy
  • Grape: Cuveé
  • Alcohol: 14,5%
  • Style: Full-bodied, rich red wine
  • Drink: Wine with potencial 2 to 5 years
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Price: 404 Kč

Mike's Tip

Back to the Super Tuscans! This one is a cuvee of 40% Sangiovesse, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon a 20% Merlot and was aged for 4 months in the barrel making it a bit rounder and fruitier than a classic Chianti. This one can easily be drank in its own on the sofa with a movie on the TV - think "Just relax".

Stellenrust, Pinotage

Wine description:

  • Country: South Africa
  • Grape: Pinotage
  • Alcohol: 14%
  • Style: Full-bodied red aged in oak
  • Drink: Wine with potencial 2 to 5 years
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 496 Kč

Mike's Tip

Coming from the oldest vines on the vineyard, this 100% Pinotage will go great with spicy food. Oak aged, you will find this to be very mellow for it's age. Old cherries, rasberries and peach over high tannin. This goes some way to introduce you to it sister variety Pinot Noir. Sophisticated and complex.

Stellenrust, Stell Red

Wine description:

  • Country: South Africa
  • Grape: Cuveé
  • Alcohol: 14%
  • Style: Full-bodied, rich red wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 190 Kč

Mike's Tip

This is our entry level Pinotage cuvee mixed with Shiraz. We took a bit of a risk here with 2 varieties that are a bit particular. High in tannins and spice, this is a wine full of flavor and alcohol that needs to be drank with some seriously strong meat or cheese. Think lamb not pork, goat not gouda. And give it a chance. You may well discover that there is more to these varieties than you gave them credit for.

Grillo

Wine description:

  • Country: Italy
  • Grape: Cuveé
  • Alcohol: 12,5%
  • Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 297 Kč

Mike's Tip

This golden tinted wine like its name is a 100% Grillo from Sicily. No barrels touched this one having "matured" in steel tanks. That doesn't stop the almonds and peaches coming out full force. Another full bodied white and all without the barrique.

Pfandturm Grauburgunder 2013

Wine description:

  • Country: Germany
  • Grape: Pinot grigio
  • Alcohol: 12,5%
  • Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 279 Kč

Mike's Tip

A first class Pinot Gris with all the classic hallmarks of the region. Sweet apples and pears up front, then the acidity kicks in to give you that lovely ballanced flavor. A real mouth full! And we mean full!!!

Louis Dry Riesling

Wine description:

  • Country: Germany
  • Grape: Welschriesling
  • Alcohol: 12,5%
  • Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 209 Kč

Mike's Tip

This was our first serious entry level Riesling that came off surprisingly dry. Riesling fans may look for a bit more sugar and acidity, but the dryness makes this all the more easy to drink anytime.

Stellenrust Sauvignon Blanc

Wine description:

  • Country: South Africa
  • Grape: Sauvignon blanc
  • Alcohol: 12,5%
  • Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine with potencial 2 to 5 years
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 270 Kč

Mike's Tip

A Sauvignon Blanc with all the spring green that you will either love or discover that this wine variety isn't your thing. Sauvignon comes from the French word "sauvage" or "wild" and I found this wine to be crisp and green as grass. A very special flavor that Sauvignon fans will love, and the those who need something a bit fruitier and rounder probably won't.

Royal Blue Riesling

Wine description:

  • Country: Germany
  • Grape: Welschriesling
  • Alcohol: 9,5%
  • Style: Floral sweet semidry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: FANDA Group
  • Box: Welcome in First Class
  • Price: 209 Kč

Mike's Tip

Don't worry, this is not Blue Nun! Indeed the most popular wine in the world in the 1980s was a sweet German Riesling in a blue bottle, but this one shares only the color. This is a light semi-dry refreshing summer cooler. Not to be taken too seriously, it will go well with just about any food and should be drank in generous quantities.
