12 Wine of Christmas Wine #5
Advent Reveal #5 is a 4-pack of our Syrah Rose cans! Aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries and cream jump out of the can, joined by a burst of ripe watermelon, grapefruit, white peach and florals.
No need to open or finish an entire bottle. Convenient, cooler-friendly cans remain a popular way to go anywhere with your favourite wine. Maybe you're at your neighbour's bonfire or out tobogganing (if you have snow!?), bring your Stag's Hollow wine with you and one for a friend. Complete the evening by coming in from the cold and enjoying your hot chocolate bomb ☕🛷
12 Wine of Christmas Wine #4
Advent Reveal #4 is our Heritage Block 2020! This red blend has the supple softness and fruit of Merlot, the lifted bouquet of Cabernet Franc and the spice and elegance of Syrah - an age-worthy, yet approachable Okanagan Meritage-esque blend that will satisfy almost any palate and pairs with a broad range of red meats and grilled fare.
Saturday is a great chance to get caught up on your Christmas wrapping so we've added a few gift tags to get you started, plus Julie's famous Red Wine Braised Short Ribs recipe to throw in the oven for a fancy holiday dinner (no problem, right?).😆🍴

12 Wines of Christmas WINE #3
Advent Reveal #3 is our rich and silky Shuttleworth Creek Pinot Noir 2021! Deceptively complex and concentrated in flavour, the palate of cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry is complimented by savoury and earthy notes, fresh minty herbs and botanicals.
Pinot Noir is lovely with poultry so we've included our resident chef Jordan's (@flambeathome) Herb Roasted Chicken recipe for the win, hope you can make it over the holidays! We're lucky enough to enjoy it this weekend at our staff Christmas party 🎉🍷🐔

12 Wines of Christmas WINE #2
The next big reveal is Wine #2, our sparkling Muscat Frizzante 2022! This wine is light and spritzy, with perfumed aromas of orange blossom, jasmine, lime zest, orchard and citrus fruit.
Nothing says "celebrate your last day of freedom before the kids get out school for Christmas" like a sparkling wine, and we've included some potato chips for you to enjoy along with it. Take a few minutes for yourself before the holidays are in full swing 🍾🥂😆
12 Wines of Christmas WINE #1
Welcome to our first day of our Wine Advent countdown! Over the next twelve days we will reveal a new wine each day paired with our winery family's favourite holiday activities, as part of our 12 Wines of Christmas Advent. We invite everyone to join in on the fun with us. Almost every bottle has a surprise attached to it, so be sure to watch for this and pull out each wine carefully.
Let's get the holidays rolling with wine #1, our newly released Syrah 2021! Syrah pairs well with charcuterie, so we included our popular wine jelly for you to make a fabulous cheese and meat board. Grazing boards seem to be the 'it' thing this season with endless ways to make it more festive - wreath shaped, tree shaped, star shaped or simple and square - if you feel inspired to try your own, send us a pic! We've also created a Stag's Hollow Favourite Holiday playlist on Spotify to get you in the holiday mood (https://bit.ly/3GHDAyg), enjoy 🎶🍷
