Looking for a last-minute present for the wine lover in your life? Need a hostess gift for the dinner party you're off to this weekend? Pick up the Fuzion Gift Pack and get two great wines in one purchase: the popular Shiraz/Malbec, from the terrific 2009 vintage, and the newly released Sparkling Brut (a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Viognier), only available in this special offer.
Tasting Note: The nose on the Brut is very floral, with notes of green apples, pineapple and brioche. Gently fruity and dry on the palate, with delicate, creamy bubbles and a hint of anise on the finish. The Shiraz/Malbec has a sweet nose of prunes, black cherries and figs. The palate is velvety and smooth, with concentrated black fruit and a long finish.
Enjoy With: Drink a toast to the season, good friends and family with the sparkling, then sit down to dinner with the red: it’s delicious with pasta, steak and casseroles.
Style: Dry sparkling white wine and dry, fruity red wine.
Terroir / Region: Argentina is one of the most dynamic wine-producing countries in the world and Mendoza is its heart. Just across the mountains from Santiago, Chile, its high-altitude vineyards are dominated by the Andes mountains. Long growing seasons of sunny days balanced by chilly nights produce grapes with incredible flavour definition.
Producer: Fuzion, the byword for value in Argentine wine, comes from Familia Zuccardi, a third-generation, family-owned winery that was started in 1963 almost by accident: the founder was an engineer and irrigation specialist who planted a small vineyard to demonstrate how well his irrigation devices worked. They worked so well that today Zuccardi is one of the leading wineries in the country. Their Santa Julia and Zuccardi lines are also widely available.
Availability: Featured in LCBO stores throughout the holiday season.
