Ah, Christmas. The annual festival of culinary gluttony cloaked in the warm embrace of familial obligation and unapologetic indulgence. If there’s ever a day to drown oneself in glorious excess—bubbles fizzing, glasses clinking, taste buds pirouetting—it’s this one. And what better accomplice to this bacchanalian feast than the wines of L.A.S. Vino? Each bottle is a love letter to decadence, and frankly, the most civilized way to endure one’s relatives. Here’s how to match these vinous jewels to the messy, beautiful pageant that is Christmas Day.
Enter The Albino Pinot Sparkling, a wine that dances on your tongue with the effervescence of a thousand tiny angels. Keep it cold in the fridge, serve it liberally—before the meal, with the meal, and in moments of existential dread when Aunt Mabel starts asking about your career. A bottle of the sparkling pet nat will impress younger cousins who are treating the lunch as a prelude to a much longer night.
Forget the Turkey- It’s roasted chicken for the win, a bird unencumbered by dry cliché. The 2023 Albino PNO Rosé is the epitome of bright sophistication. Its crisp acidity and playful fruit notes are a flawless foil for the golden-skinned roast, cutting through its savory richness like a silver knife. It’s the wine equivalent of slipping into linen on a hot day: effortless, chic, and utterly irresistible.
Few things scream “Australian Christmas” louder than fresh prawns sizzling on the barbecue or crayfish tails kissed by flame. Pair them with the 2023 Chardonnay 'Barrels of Metricup,' a wine that flirts outrageously with your palate, offering creamy whispers of oak alongside a citrus symphony. The wine equivalent to the lemon, lime and butter you're pouring on your prawns. Trust me, your seafood deserves this.
Lighter than the morning’s moral hangover, the 2024 Chenin 'Light' is an ode to citrus and restraint. It’s the perfect partner for a crisp summer salad or a plate of ceviche, its vibrant acidity cutting through with precision with only 9% alcohol. This is a wine for the hours between chaos, when the table is cleared, and you’ve stolen a moment to yourself. A glass in hand, a breeze on your face—Christmas might not be so bad after all.
Here lies the 2023 'Granite' Grenache, a wine that feels like a warm embrace on a cool evening. It’s a liquid love song to Christmas ham, cold cuts, and cheese platters groaning under their hedonistic burden. Scents of rose hip tea, raspberry, cherry and Campari. The palate more cranberry and cherry juice, acidity doing good for refreshment factor. It’s lithe and light feeling but delivers moreish satisfaction and drinkability make it a universal crowd-pleaser, though it’s so beguiling you might consider hiding the bottle from your guests. Share sparingly—if at all.
If Christmas were a flavor, it would taste like the 2022 L.A.S. Vino Pirate Blend. A robust, full-bodied wonder that sings with dark fruit, quince, and the unmistakable warmth of holiday spices. This is the wine for roast lamb, earthy root vegetables, and long, languorous toasts to good fortune. Drinking it feels like pulling on a velvet robe and sinking into the coziest chair in the house. A masterpiece.
For those who demand gravitas at the table, the L.A.S. Vino Cabernet Sauvignon is your go-to. It’s brooding and majestic, with tannins that hold court and blackcurrant notes that whisper of long walks through sun-dappled vineyards. Roast beef or venison? Yes. A mushroom Wellington? Certainly. This wine is less a bottle, more a declaration: you have arrived, and you have taste.
Finally, we come to the pièce de résistance: L.A.S. Vermouth. This herbaceous, bittersweet beauty is not merely a drink but an experience. Take it neat, over ice, or with a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing twist. For those feeling ambitious, it’s the secret weapon in an exceptional Negroni. Pair it with a cheese board—blue cheese, aged cheddar, creamy brie—or let its herbal sweetness complement Christmas pudding or dark chocolate. It’s the full stop at the end of a sentence that says, “Well done, you survived Christmas.”
L.A.S. Vino doesn’t just make wines—we craft moments, memories, and the occasional reason to sit through another round of small talk. This Christmas, raise a glass (or eight) to the luck art and science (L.A.S.) of indulgence. Your holiday deserves nothing less.
