The LE24 Collection:
DECEMBER 2024: CARMENÈRE CABERNET SYRAH – MAIPO, CHILE
THE WINE: The Carmenère Cabernet blend, a Chilean specialty, shines with the added depth of Syrah. Savour the plum and dark berry aromas. Concentrated plum flavours are woven with cherry, subtle baking spice, and soft tannins, culminating in a chocolaty finish accented by lingering plum and toasty notes.
THE REGION: Referred to as the ‘Bordeaux of South America’, Maipo is known for producing prestigious wines. The mild Mediterranean climate sees little rainfall, but controlled drip irrigation and fertile clay-based soils work to produce rich red wines. The region’s Cab Sauv is celebrated for being especially rich and fruity.
SWEETNESS: DRY || OAK: MEDIUM || BODY: MEDIUM-FULL || ALCOHOL: 13.5%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Spicy Sausage Pasta • Aged Gouda
SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Grilled Steak
PRICE: $223.75 On-Premise | $169.00 Kit-Only
JANUARY 2025: DOUBLE BLANC – RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA
THE WINE: A fresh, fruit-driven blend of Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. Soft citrus aromas with subtle green notes. Fresh citrus and pear flavours are forefront with notes of gooseberry, tropical fruit, and hints of lemon peel. Serve lightly chilled to emphasize the zesty acidity and crisp finish.
THE REGION: The Riverland region in South Australia surrounds the long and winding Murray River. The vital water source contributes to fertile soils and allows for irrigation in the intense dry heat. The Continental climate and long sunny days make for vibrant, fully ripened grapes.
SWEETNESS: DRY || OAK: NONE || BODY: MEDIUM || ALCOHOL: 12.5%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Cashew chicken • Summer salads
SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Smoked Salmon Crostini
PRICE: $223.75 On-Premise | $169.00 Kit-Only
FEBRUARY 2025: PETIT VERDOT PETITE SIRAH – LODI, CALIFORNIA, USA
THE WINE: Petit in name but big in flavour. Aromas of heady plum and soft vanilla set the tone. Black cherry and blackberry flavours lead the way, while undertones of warm blueberry and plum build with each sip. Lush and velvety with a long finish of dark fruit and spice.
THE REGION: Sitting in the middle of California’s Central Valley, Lodi sees warm days and cool nights and benefits from the breezes blowing inland from the Bay area. This climate helps lend grapes a refreshing natural acidity, while the rich, sandy soils and dry growing season promote more concentrated flavours.
SWEETNESS: DRY || OAK: MEDIUM-HEAVY || BODY: FULL || ALCOHOL: 14%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Peppercorn crusted beef tenderloin • Sharp cheddar
SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
PRICE: $223.75 On-Premise | $169.00 Kit-Only
MARCH 2025: BESITO – MANCHUELA, SPAIN
THE WINE: Besito, Spanish for “little kiss”, is a vibrant blend of Macabeo and Moscatel (Muscat) with a little kiss of sweetness. Enticing citrus and white blossom aromas introduce a peachy palate woven with tropical fruit and citrus flavours. Subtle notes of honeysuckle and lemon zest round out this smooth and succulent wine.
THE REGION: Manchuela is an inland region with a continental climate, but vineyards here are 600-1000m above sea level; the altitude has a cooling effect and combines with fresh Mediterranean winds to moderate the hot summer days. This helps slow ripening, resulting in white grapes that produce fresh, fruity wines with good acidity.
SWEETNESS: OFF-DRY || OAK: NONE || BODY: MEDIUM || ALCOHOL: 12.5%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Chicken Enchiladas • Szechuan Stir-Fry
SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Lemon Butter Grilled Shrimp
PRICE: $223.75 On-Premise | $169.00 Kit-Only
APRIL 2025: FOURTITUDE WITH GRAPE SKINS – RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA
THE WINE: An assertive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Mataro, and Merlot that embodies Australia’s renowned bold and fruit-forward style. It opens with rich aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and spice, while intense flavours of blackcurrant, plum, dark cherry, and spice unfold with hints of vanilla. Smooth tannins carry into a lingering finish.
THE REGION: Riverland is renowned as a powerhouse of Australian wine. It is home to many varietals, but Cabernet, Shiraz, and Merlot are the region’s most prominent reds; they thrive in the endless sunshine and low humidity, producing lush wines with rich texture and ample berry flavours.
SWEETNESS: DRY || OAK: HEAVY || BODY: FULL || ALCOHOL: 14%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Saucy ribs • Chocolate mousse
SIGNATURE FOOD PAIRING: Braised Leg Of Lamb
PRICE: $236.75 On-Premise | $182.00 Kit-Only

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 December through April. LE – or Limited Edition – wines vary year to year and can be one or a combination of the following: unique blends, hot industry trends, highly sought after regions/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. The LE program has built a reputation of delivering exceptional, award-winning wines year after year. This speaks to the high quality wines that these very special wine kits produce and that’s why LE continues to be the biggest most successful limited release brand. Each and every year, LE wines are awarded medals at the WineMaker International Amateur Wine Competition; a testament to the superior quality of the LE program. The LE24 collection will continue this tradition; so be sure to make your wine cellar an award-winning one. Contact Just Fine Wine for any further information or to place your pre-order today.
