Hanami - a picnic or party perfect case - a six bottle box set

Hanami is the Japanse tradition of welcoming spring by gathering under blossoming cherry trees to share food, drinks, songs and companionship. Here is a mixed case that would be perfect at a picnic under the trees but that's also great to share with friends or family any time of year. This box set contains one bottle of each of the following wines, all with either a screwcap or champagne cork for easy access or in case you have forgotten the corkscrew!

Vignerons de Florensac, Pique & Mixe, Côtes De Thau, Languedoc Roussillon, France -  The Etang de Thau is a large group of basins in the South of France right on the Med and it's here where you find dreamy Picpoul de Pinet. The guys at Florensac have some of the oldest vineyards in this area and they've taken two local varietals and blended them. Picpoul brings a zippy freshness and Terret brings complexity. 

The grapes are picked a night when it is cooler and this helps the grapes retain their freshness and aromas. This is a fresh and fruity wine; yet attractively exotic and lively. Freshly easy to drink, yet slightly rich with a foundation of citrus and great length.

A wine reflecting it's label, as it'll go perfectly with oysters and seafood platters!
