The LE24 Collection:
December 2024: Carmenere/Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah – Maipo, Chile
THE WINE: 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: Maipo, Chile is known for producing prestigious wines. The mild Mediterranean type climate sees little rainfall, but controlled drip irrigation and fertile clay-based soils work to produce rich red wines.
PRICE: $210.00 Made on Premise || $154.00 Kit only
SWEETNESS: DRY || OAK: MEDIUM || BODY: MEDIUM-FULL || ALCOHOL: 13.5%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Grilled steak, spicy sausage pasta, and aged Gouda
January 2025: Double Blanc – Riverland, Australia
THE WINE: A fresh, fruit-driven blend of Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. 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.
THE REGION: Riverland, Australia surrounds the long and winding Murray River, a vital water source for the hot, dry region. The Continental climate and long sunny days make for vibrant, full ripened grapes.
PRICE: $210.00 Made on Premise || $154.00 Kit only
SWEETNESS: DRY || OAK: NONE || BODY: MEDIUM || ALCOHOL: 12.5%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Smoked salmon crostini, cashew chicken, or summer salads
February 2025: Petit Verdot/Petite Sirah – Lodi, California, USA
THE WINE: 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: Lodi, California experiences warm days and cool nights which helps lend grapes a refreshing natural acidity; rich sandy soils and the dry growing season promote concentrated flavours.
PRICE: $210.00 Made on Premise || $154.00 Kit only
SWEETNESS: DRY || OAK: MEDIUM-HEAVY || BODY: FULL || ALCOHOL: 14%
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Grilled portobello mushrooms, Peppercorn crusted beef tenderloin, and sharp cheddar.
March 2025: Besito – Mancheula, Spain
THE WINE: Besito, Spanish for little kiss, is a vibrant blend of Macabeo and Moscatel (Muscat) with citrus and white blossom aromas. Peach, tropical fruit, and citrus flavours are rounded out with notes of honeysuckle and lemon zest. Smooth and succulent with a touch of sweetness.
THE REGION: Manchuela, Spain has vineyards up to 1,000m above sea level. The altitude moderates the heat, which slows ripening, resulting in white grapes that produce fresh, fruity wines with good acidity.

SWEETNESS: OFF-DRY || OAK: NONE || BODY: MEDIUM || ALCOHOL: 12.5%

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 It’s About Wine! for any further information or to place your pre-order today.
