Legendary Wines of The Month this December at Dubai Duty Free
Legendary Wines of The Month this December at Dubai Duty Free
By December, 12 2024
Let’s raise a glass at Dubai Duty Free for highlighting some legendary wines this December as their wines of the month. The Legend Collection (as I like to call it) features:
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc at 122 AED (ex VAT)
Whispering Angel Rosé at 92 AED (ex VAT)
Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro at 108 AED (ex VAT)
These aren’t just pretty labels; they each rewrote the rules of winemaking in their own time, and now they get to show off their legendary status on your holiday table.
Whispering Angel Rosé: Before this beauty came along, the standard rosé was bright pink and kinda sweet. Whispering Angel flipped that script and introduced the world to a pale, delicate, and super-dry style that turned rosé into a global beach club and patio phenomenon.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc: If you’ve ever wondered why Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc rules the white wine scene, this is your answer. Cloudy Bay basically shouted, “Hey world, check out what New Zealand’s got!” four decades ago and sparked an international love affair with this crisp, zesty, and utterly unforgettable white wine.
Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro: Back in the day, Penfolds went totally rogue (in the best way) by blending grapes from different spots around Australia—something that blew old-school European traditions out of the water. The result? Intense, robust flavors that show off why Shiraz (a.k.a. Syrah) and Mataro (a.k.a. Mourvèdre) thrive Down Under. It’s a spicy, juicy rebel in a glass.
So if you’re passing through Dubai Duty Free this December, give these pioneers a whirl. They’re not just bottles of wine; they’re the superstars who shaped the way we drink today. Happy sipping!
