The LE15 Collection
January: Barbera – Piedmont, Italy |
|
|
|
REGION: PIEDMONT, ITALY – Piedmont is one of Italy’s most famed and beautiful wine regions. Situated at the base of the Alps, Piemonte in Italian means “at the foot of the mountains”. Piedmont has a cool continental climate with a hot growing season and severe winters. Vineyards grow along steep hillsides making this region as picturesque as it is productive. WINE: Known for its higher acidity and lower tannins, Barbera is a very approachable wine. The LE15 Barbera is medium bodied with a sour cherry nose and a bit of earthiness. Bright, red fruit flavours of cherry and cranberry, with a hint of spice, tie it all together. Fresh acidity and smooth silky tannins make this a wine that can easily be enjoyed with or without food. LE15 PAIRING: Chicken Ratatouille Tagliatelle. CLICK HERE for Recipe. SWEETNESS: Dry BODY: Medium ALCOHOL: 13.5%* PRICE: $185.00 On-Premise | $125.00 Kit-Only *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |
January: Pinot Grigio Verduzzo – Veneto, Italy |
|
|
|
REGION: VENETO, ITALY – Located just North of Venice, The Veneto stretches across most of the northern reaches of the Adriatic Sea. The Veneto is known to experience hot summers and cool winters, and thanks to its proximity to the sea, less extreme weather than other Northeastern regions. Visitors to The Veneto area have more than just wine to drink, with the picturesque city of Venice absorbing the majority of the region’s tourism. WINE: This unofficial “super venetian” white is a blend of the vibrancy of Pinot Grigio with fresh citrus and pear complemented by the honeyed and ripe pineapple notes of Verduzzo. The zesty freshness and acidity is balanced by rounded tropical fruit flavours and a bit of nuttiness leading to a crisp, clean finish. This is a Pinot Grigio with a bit of pop. LE15 PAIRING: Cod & Potato Cakes with Lemon-Herb Tartar Sauce. CLICK HERE for Recipe. SWEETNESS: Dry BODY: Light-Medium ALCOHOL: 13%* PRICE: $185.00 On-Premise | $125.00 Kit-Only *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |
February: Mosaic Red – Paso Robles, California, USA |
|
|
|
REGION: PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA – Located along California’s famed Central Coast, between the busy cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco you’ll find Paso Robles Wine Country. Paso experiences a long growing season of warm days and cool nights which makes for vibrantly ripened grapes and beautiful wines. In addition to the abundance of vineyards, the region is also known for its mineral rich hot springs. WINE: Like a true mosaic, the varietals in this wine each contribute their individual personality to create a harmonious blend. Merlot and Zinfandel bring round fruit notes while Petit Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon provide structure and complexity. Mosaic Red has aromas of red fruit with an undertone of smoke and spice. Flavours of juicy blackberry, raspberry, spice and smooth tannins give way to a lingering finish. LE15 PAIRING: Bison Burgers with Balsamic Bacon Onion Relish. CLICK HERE for Recipe. SWEETNESS: Dry BODY: Medium-Full ALCOHOL: 14%* PRICE: $185.00 On-Premise | $125.00 Kit-Only *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |
March: Gewürztraminer Verdelho Muscat – Murray Darling, Australia |
|
|
|
REGION: MURRAY DARLING, AUSTRALIA – The Murray Darling is a vast region that sees the meeting of Australia’s two rivers, The Murray and The Darling near the city of Mildura. One of the most significant grape growing regions in Australia, the Murray Darling is over 350 kilometres (220 miles) wide and produces about 20% of Australia’s crush. The combination of heat, irrigation and fertile soil produces grapes which create soft, generously flavoured wines. WINE: The trio of grapes that make up this wine are as distinctive as the blend itself. The wonderfully floral Gewürztraminer headlines as Verdelho’s tropical fruit characteristics play off of Muscat’s infamous grapey flavour. The resulting wine has a perfumed nose with vibrant flavours of pear, grapefruit, lime and mineral and an off-dry finish which makes this wine refreshingly fun to drink. FOOD PAIRING: LE15 PAIRING: Hoisin Pork Tenderloin Sliders. CLICK HERE for Recipe. SWEETNESS: Off-Dry BODY: Medium ALCOHOL: 12%* PRICE: $185.00 On-Premise | $125.00 Kit-Only *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |
April: Fourtitude w/Grape Skins – Riverland, Australia |
|
|
|
REGION: RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA – Woven around the Murray River, the Riverland is a beautiful region of South Australia, located about 2½ hours north east of Adelaide. Blessed with vast open spaces, the region enjoys a consistent Mediterranean climate with long days of sunshine. The result of this agricultural haven is sun-kissed, vibrantly ripened grapes. WINE: This powerful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot showcases the quality and richness of the grapes from southern Australia. Crimson-purple in the glass, Fourtitude has aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and spice. Intense, mouth filling flavours of blackcurrant, plum, cherry and spice blend seamlessly to a long dry finish. LE15 PAIRING: Wine and Mustard Braised Leg of Lamb. CLICK HERE for Recipe. SWEETNESS: Dry BODY: Full ALCOHOL: 14.5%* PRICE: $195.00 On-Premise | $135.00 Kit-Only *Alcohol level based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. |

What is LE?
Each year Winexpert produces a limited quantity of five fabulous and unique varieties from around the world that are released monthly from January through April. LE wines vary year to year and can be one or a combination of the following: unique blends, hot industry trends, highly sought after regions and vineyards; and scarce or hard to obtain grapes/juice. One thing remains from one year to the next, LE collections always produce wine of superior quality.
LE vintages are available only during the month of their release. They are limited in supply and are so immensely popular that they can be acquired by pre-order only. Each year Winexpert’s LE series wins numerous awards at various amateur winemaking competitions and continue to be a highly sought-after offering. In fact, wines made with LE wine kits consistently win medals at the WineMaker competition, which speaks to the high quality wines that these very special wine kits produce.
