Christmas Has Arrived at Koonara
Well, well, well… look who’s arrived just in time to save your Christmas gifting dilemmas, your festive table planning, and quite possibly your sanity during the silly season. It’s us with our limited-edition Christmas wines, and they’re looking rather dapper in their festive finery.
We’ve taken two of our absolute crackers and dressed them up for the season. Think of it as your favourite wines putting on their party clothes. It’s the same delicious quality wines you know and love, but now with added Christmas magic.
Sing It Loud, Pour It Proud
Two Christmas classics, two exceptional wines. And if you’re wondering, yes, one of them is named after THE Mariah Carey song. You know the one. The song that starts playing in October and doesn’t stop until January.
We won’t judge if you burst into full diva mode when you pour it (in fact, we actively encourage it). Your guests will either join in or at least be thoroughly entertained and maybe question your sanity. Either way, everyone wins when there’s good wine involved.
Deck the Halls with Pinot Gris 2024
Because nothing says “I’ve got my life together” quite like serving a crisp, refreshing white wine at your Christmas lunch. With its fresh pear and peachy vibes, this one’s perfect for cutting through all that rich Christmas food (and family drama).
Deck the Halls with Pinot Gris is a low sulphur, vegan-friendly Coonawarra Pinot Gris with premium flavour. The ultimate festive season wine for entertaining, gifting and celebration.
This elegant Pinot Gris features fresh pear, apple and honeysuckle aromatics with a soft, creamy finish. Ideal for Christmas parties, family gatherings and those seeking low-sulphur wine without headaches.
It’s also the perfect gift for the white wine lover in your life. The festive label makes it instantly giftable, and the fact it’s low sulphur and vegan-friendly means you’re covered for pretty much any dietary preference. Stock up now because once Christmas hits, you’ll be kicking yourself if you run out.
Serve it properly chilled alongside seafood platters, turkey, ham, or as a welcome drink when guests arrive. It’s the white wine that does all the heavy lifting while you take all the credit.
All I Want for Christmas is a Good Red – Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
For when you need something a bit more substantial. Yes, we named it after Mariah’s iconic banger, and no, we’re not sorry. (it’s totally stuck in your head now isn’t it) Think Christmas night around the table, Boxing Day leftovers, or just Tuesday. This beauty brings all the blackberry, mulberry goodness you’d expect from a Coonawarra Cabernet, wrapped up in a label that screams festive cheer.
All I Want for Christmas is a Good Red is a certified organic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon from our family winery, aged in French Oak barrels. This vegan-friendly, low sulphur wine is the ultimate festive season red for Christmas feasts, gift-giving and celebration.
This bold Cabernet features blackcurrant, dark chocolate and mint aromatics with a firm tannin structure, ideal for Christmas Day roasts, Boxing Day BBQs and those seeking low-sulphur wine without headaches.
“It’s designed for those who want quality, not compromise, on their Christmas table.” – Dru Reschke.
But Wait, There’s More! (Said in Our Best Infomercial Voice)
Remember our Flowers for Lucy Moscato? You know the one that everyone absolutely raves about? Well, for a very limited time, we’ve decided to let you make it truly personal again.
Introducing Flowers for [Your Name] Moscato. Our most popular wine with a custom twist that’ll make you look like the most thoughtful gift-giver in the family.
Want to give “Flowers for Mum”? Done. “Flowers for the Bride”? Easy. “Flowers for My Best Friend Who Puts Up With Me”? We can make that happen (though you’ll need to shorten it slightly).
At just $22, it’s the kind of gift that looks like you’ve really thought about it (because obviously you have), without breaking the bank. Plus, at only 7% alcohol, it’s perfect for those long, lazy Christmas Day celebrations.
Be Quick: Orders for personalised wines close Tuesday, 2nd December. After that, the printing elves clock off for the season. Please note, these wines will not be despatched until after the 10th December.
Mark Your Calendar: Penola’s Christmas Shopping Day
For those of you living locally, circle Sunday, 23rd November in red pen. Penola’s throwing a festive shopping day from 10 pm to 3 pm, and we’re absolutely part of it.
Local shops are opening their doors with special deals, exclusive offers, and all the Christmas cheer you can handle. It’s the perfect excuse to tick off your gift list, grab some of our Christmas wines and actually enjoy the shopping experience without the usual big town stress.
Come for the wine, stay for lunch, make a day of it. Support local, shop local, and get a head start on the festive season with the Penola Community. Plus, shopping with a glass of wine in hand (responsibly, of course) is infinitely more pleasant than braving the Boxing Day sales.
We’ll see you there with bells on. Possibly literally. We haven’t decided yet. What we CAN guarantee? Mariah on the speakers and plenty of that Festive Cabernet she inspired.
Corporate Gifting (Because Your Boss Deserves Good Wine Too)
Still sorting corporate gifts? Haven’t found that perfect client thank-you that doesn’t scream “we picked this at the servo on the way”?
Here’s the thing: corporate gifting doesn’t have to be stressful or boring.
Our Christmas wines and personalised Moscato make seriously impressive corporate gifts. They’re thoughtful, Australian-made, premium quality, certified organic, and let’s be honest, everyone loves receiving wine. Especially wine that’s vegan-friendly, low in sulphur, and actually tastes incredible.
We’ve made it ridiculously easy:
We offer everything from single-bottle gifts to premium entertaining bundles. Every pack is beautifully presented and can be customised with your company branding and a personalised message. Want individual messages for each recipient? We can do that too.
The best bit? Our corporate gift packs are priced below standard retail, making generosity easy on your budget and effortless on your time. Because thanking clients or rewarding your team shouldn’t break the bank or give you a headache.
Whether you’re after:
- Two-bottle duos with premium chocolates
- Sparkling celebrations with all the trimmings
- Summer entertaining packs with cocktail mixes
- Or something completely custom
We handle the packaging, personalisation, and delivery. You get to look like a gifting genius.

The Slightly Less Fun But Very Important Bit: Christmas Cut-Off Dates
Right, let’s talk logistics. By now you might have realised we are based in regional South Australia, which means we need a bit more time to get your wines to you than those fancy city folk.
To guarantee delivery before Christmas, all orders must be placed by Wednesday, 17th December.
Yes, we know that’s earlier than Australia Post suggests, but we’ve learned from experience that regional dispatch + Christmas rush = we’re not taking any chances with your wine arriving late.
So basically, don’t leave it until Christmas Eve and then blame us when your wine doesn’t arrive via reindeer express. We’re good, but I mean, we’re not that good.

So there you have it. Limited-edition Christmas wines, personalised Moscato, corporate gifting sorted, and a festive shopping day to kick it all off.

Cheers (and festive ones at that),
The Koonara Crew
