Wines to finish the year in style

21/12/2022 Winemaking

The countdown begins to saying goodbye to another year. It is time to put the less pleasant moments behind us and celebrate the happy times in style, always with the hope of a new year, which is almost here, and always seems to be better than the previous one.

So here is a selection of wines and sparkling wines to toast life, to give as a gift, to elegantly accompany the exquisite dishes that sit along the most festive tables, or as a gift to yourself, because you’re worth it. 

8 wines and sparkling wines to bid farewell to 2022

1. Georges Laval Cumières Premier Cru Brut Nature

Only 10,000 bottles are produced of this champagne that is highly sought after among those who really love sparkling wines. Made by Georges Laval, a charismatic and passionate vigneron who is also a pioneer of the Bio movement in Champagne, Georges Laval Cumières Premier Cru Brut Nature offers complexity and harmony. A very expressive, intense and elegant champagne, perfect for celebrating life’s great moments.

2. Izar-Leku Brut Vintage

Behind this sparkling wine is Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, a winemaker who has been described as a visionary or unconventional, a revolutionary who, from his own little corner, the Artadi family winery, has been the architect of great wines that verge on perfection and have reached the heights of 100 Parker points. Izar-Leku, which in Basque means “the place of the stars”, is made from two varieties native to the Basque Country, and offers freshness and lots of flavour, exquisite minerality and a subtle saline touch that gives it a very special personality. A sparkling wine made to surprise and delight in equal measure!

3. Remelluri Reserva

If we are talking about showcasing the landscape, Telmo Rodríguez is a master, undoubtedly one of the greats of the Spanish winemaking world. Telmo’s focus is on the unique personality of the terroir, the origins and tradition to produce a very personal vision of what a great wine is, with identity and respect for its legacy, but with an avant-garde style that seduces and conquers. Remelluri Reserva is, without a doubt, an essential Rioja wine. An elegant and concentrated red wine that is extremely enjoyable for the price.

 4. Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion

The Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion cellar is a work of art, so it is not surprising that extraordinary wines age within these walls. Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion is the winery’s Grand Vin. A red wine capable of expressing the classic elegance of Pessac-Lèognan (Bordeaux). Deep and complex. A delicious example of harmony and delicacy worthy of presiding over the most exquisite tables.

5. Cascina Fontana Barolo

The wines of Barolo, one of the jewels of Piedmont (Italy), are some of the highest regarded and most sought after by any wine lover. Cascina Fontana Barolo is made in an area of a outstanding beauty that has even been recognised as a UNESCO world heritage site. This is where six generations have worked to achieve classic wines that are the pure and perfect expression of the Langhe. Cascina Fontana Barolo is a rich, complex and very silky red wine. And if you let this wine breathe, it will tell you all its great and captivating secrets.

6. Domaine Jules Desjourneys Mâcon-Verzé

Fabien Duperray is the man behind Domaine Jules Desjourneys Mâcon-Verzé, an exceptional winemaker who is revolutionising Burgundy with his white wines from Mâconnais and his red wines from Beaujolais. Domaine Jules Desjourneys Mâcon-Verzé is an elegant and fresh white wine, made with Chardonnay, which offers a delicious minerality that harmoniously accompanies notes of pear, citrus or honey and feels silky and enveloping. It has a bright and balanced acidity, and is, in short, a wine worthy of the most unforgettable toast.

7. Nelín

In a land known for extraordinary red wines, one of the pioneers of Priorat’s revolution, René Barbier, shows us that Priorat can also boast a small number of spectacular white wines that weave their way between Cariñenas and Garnacha Tinta like Nelín, one of Spain’s great whites, which offers Mediterranean aromas, complexity, elegance and surprising freshness. Very gastronomic.

8. Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco 

Bibi Graetz is a self-taught winemaker whose sense of perfection, love for the land and great talent have made him the creator of true cult wines in Tuscany (Italy). Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco is a wine that offers delicious fruity aromas tinged with an exquisite mineral touch. A full-bodied white wine with length and tension, perfect for those willing to escape from convention and be surprised by exquisite new products.

This is just a small sample of all the great wines and sparkling wines that you can find at Decántalo. The perfect bottles to liven up the most fun or emotional gathering and the perfect way to say goodbye to 2022 in style. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
