There are numerous occasions where you may be in need of the perfect bottle of wine. They could be presented as seasonal gifts to your staff colleagues and friends or you could give them out for any birthdays that are coming up. You have the choice of not only sending them to your members of staff but you can also send them out to your clients for a variety of reasons such as to promote your product, business or company, in order to create more turnover. You can also send them to clients as a way of thanking them for their business after closing a deal. Other appropriate times when corporate wine gifts can be given to your clients are during the Christmas holidays.

Whatever reason you have for rewarding your clients with corporate wine gifts you will be sending out a message to them that they are valued, which will build up your relationship with them and hopefully help ensure that they continue to do business with you.

Many companies present corporate wine gifts for various services such as product launches, corporate events, staff rewards, customer gifts and company anniversaries. Whatever your reason, wine is always an excellent choice when it comes to corporate gifts. They are always welcomed and it is a prime example of a gift that never goes out of style.

Corporate wine gifts are the business promotional gifts that are both memorable and enjoyable. There are so many varieties and tastes around that it can sometimes be overwhelming but it does mean that you are sure to find the one that you are looking for and best of all you are able to opt to have your corporate wine gift personalised.

Photos, logos and even individually named bottles are some of the options that you have when it comes to personalising your corporate wine gifts. You have the whole of the front label available for you to maximize the impact of your branding. There is no limit to what can appear on your own, full color, branded wine label, making this the ideal corporate gift.

These corporate wine gifts often come in classy gift boxes, which again can be personalised. Also you aren’t just limited to this gift being made up of just wine. You can add products such as gourmet delicacies, truffles or chocolates.

It is safe to say that they are becoming a very popular gift across many businesses and industry sectors. You are able to purchase either just one bottle or you are able to buy a case of wine that is made up of several bottles; this is a great option if you aren’t entirely sure what wine is the best one to get as it allows you to include a variety of bottles that cover a multitude of tastes.

Corporate wine gifts are perfect for a number of occasions and are the perfect way to get your message across, especially if you add that extra special touch of a personalised label.

 We have received this update regarding the effect of the recent earthquake on our wine supplies from the TerraMater vineyards.

“We are ok, in TerraMater everybody its safe and we are working hard to restart our normal process.
In Curico and in Maule the houses that we had in the vineyards are destroyed, but again, it is only a material loss.
We lost 2 tanks with wine because they fall, but is something that doesn’t concern us a lot since the harvest will be very soon, the vineyards are ok.
I don’t know if I could be in the UK this week since the airport is really damage and it is closed for departure flights.”

So it seems that our wine supplies from Chile will be uninterrupted dispite the major disruption caused by the earthquake.

 The TerraMater vineyards are located in the heart of Chile’s finest wine growing regions at Isla de Maipo-Curico and have belonged to the TerraMater family for decades. The 500 hectares of prime vineyards, pure water from the Andean mountains and exceptional luminosity provide the winery with top quality grapes. TerraMater is the Chilean wine brand that specializes on blends that are truly innovative, attractive and interesting.

Wine and hampers are adding this fine New Zealand Wine to their gift pack range.

Viticulture

The fruit for this delightful New Zealand wine is grown on vineyards around Raupara (60%) and the southern valleys. The vineyards are on various soil types from the stony Raupara sites to the sites around Omaka with heavier soils. The fruit is picked over a three week period to give a range of maturities in the fruit at harvest of the individual blocks.

Winemaking

Fruit is crushed, with minimal skin contact. Only free run juice is used in the final blend. The wine is fermented entirely in stainless steel. Yeast strains specifically developed for Sauvignon Blanc are used to conduct the fermentation. The wine is left on lees for a short time to improve flavour and finish of the wine.

Tasting Notes

The colour is pale straw. The bouquet has gooseberry, passionfruit, white and blackcurrant aromas. The palate is crisp and textural with good weight. There is good fruit sweetness and a rich varietal impact. This intense fruit on the mid palate leads to a dry, clean finish. This is a focused style with plenty of character and complexity.

This delightful wine will shortly be  featured in our wine gift pack selection at our website page http://www.wineandhampers.com/acatalog/Wine_Pack_Selection.html
