Wakefield Estate Label Chardonnay 2021
Over and over again I’ve tried this chardonnay and it continues to impress me. Medium bodied with notes of soft spice and citrus, you can serve it at the perfect temperature by using the temperature sensor on the back of the label. Wakefield also #givesback by donating to Project Seahorse to help save seahorses around the world.
Freixenet Rosé IGT
This Italian rosé is not only in a truly memorable bottle, but it also tastes great! The ideal fun food pairing with this Italian wine is a seacuterie board.

The bottle is created to be reminiscent of diamonds, making the empty bottle great to keep after for a beautiful centerpiece for flowers or candle.
