June Wine Bundle: Coastal Summer

 
 

June’s Wine Bundle theme is…. Coastal Summer! Featuring wines from stunning and sunny islands or beachy towns across the world.

We are deep into summer now with the month of June, and with a new month comes a new wine bundle! With the Florida heat, there's nothing better than sipping a chilled wine poolside and dreaming of your next beach visit. We've put together four fabulous wines from different coastal regions around the world that are perfect for the summer heat. Remember, any bundle of wine - whether it's this one we've specifically curated for you or 4+ picks of your own choices of bottles - is 10% off!

Cantina Santadi Villa Solais Vermentino Di Sardegna 2020

Hailing from the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea – Sardinia, Italy! More specifically, this wine comes from the Sulcis peninsula, Sardinia’s most ancient area, geologically speaking. This region of Sardinia is an incredibly diverse terroir for wine, with sandy dunes, rugged cliffs, and vineyards dotted with juniper and pine. Made from 100% Vermentino, this wine is refreshingly citrus-y with an appealing minerality that pairs well with any seafood dish.

La Fête du Rosé

Produced in the heart of the island St. Tropez from Cotes de Provence! La Fête du Rosé is the perfect, well-balanced rosé. On the nose, scents of freshly picked forest fruits with notes of salinity, reminiscent of a summer evening on the beach. On the palate, vibrant strawberry grenadine and currant, ending with remarkable freshness.

Pomalo Debit Pét Nat 2021

If you haven't seen the label of this wine, just stop by our shop… you can't get a more picture-perfect coastal wine than this. The Begović cousins are two phenomenal winemakers from the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. Family ties brought these two cousins together to create this light lemon-colored natural sparkling wine that has loads of tree fruit and green herb notes with light acidity!

Devil's Corner Pinot Noir 2020

From the rugged, wild, and remote terrain of Tasmania! The cool climate and heavy marine influence of this terroir creates a vividly cherry-colored, fruit-driven Pinot Noir that can find its place in any setting - whether lightly chilled poolside or served with savory dishes for a dinner gathering. Notes of raspberries, ripe cherries, and cinnamon.
