Celebrate Christmas with Paracombe Sparkling

Welcome to our new look Paracombe Pressings.

Exciting news! We’ve just released a beautiful new Pinot Noir Chardonnay Sparkling wine ready to enjoy over the Christmas, New Year and holiday period. Some of you may remember we did do sparkling in our early years going as far back as 1991. Then Paul became busy on building our winery and cellar door facility and we held back releasing Paracombe sparkling wine. But thinking ahead, he did tuck away stocks from those early vintages in the back corner of the underground cellars for something special for the future.

This new release is a celebration of old and new, drawing from 20 years of museum cellared cuvée’s and blended with fruit harvested from the 2011 vintage. The wine is packaged with a crown seal to capture the finest quality possible. Gavin Klose who first designed our label has produced a stunning label design which we think you will love. See Kath’s Pick to read more about this wine and we have a special offer for Paracombe Wine Lovers for Christmas.

Hard to believe 2011 is nearly over. From all the team at Paracombe, thank you for your continued support. We wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year and enjoy the holidays with family and friends over a glass or two or Paracombe wine.

wine quote
“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.” Jack Handy
