Well it’s December, and what a year it’s been. With 2020 drawing to a close, may we be so bold as to suggest some festive tipples to add a dash of Christmas cheer at the end of this incredibly challenging year, and to raise a toast for brighter days to come.
Cosy up on Christmas Eve
A spicy, warming drink will give you just the boost you need when you’re hunkering down for a spot of last minute Christmas card writing and gift wrapping.
For more than a whiff of nostalgia, our Mulled Wine combines damson and elderberry with notes of winter spices to create what we reckon is the tastiest mulled wine in the country. Warm slowly in a saucepan and serve with an extra tot of brandy for a traditional winter pick-me-up.
Also available in a three litre bag-in-box, containing 24 scrumptious servings of this fruity classic.
Start Christmas morning with a pop
The perfect Christmas drink for sharing with friends and loved ones, our Brut Reserve (NV) is a light and refreshing fruit-driven sparkler to start Christmas morning with a pop. Created using the Traditional Method, this sparkling white wine is bursting with aromas of lemon, green apples and freshly cut grass, making it a perfect match for all palates.
We’ve also launched a half-bottle version of this in time for Christmas, so you can treat everyone to their own individual serve.
Take it easy on Boxing Day
Our bestselling still wine, Shoreline is an easy-drinking dry white that will sit happily alongside any dish you rustle up from the Christmas leftovers. Well-balanced and refreshing with complex layers, this crisp, crowd-pleasi
ng wine has enticing notes of pineapple, lime and pear with a dry finish.
Zing in the New Year
The fine, delicate bubbles of our Classic Cuvée make for a truly elegant sparkler that’s suitably sophisticated for New Year’s Eve. Its golden colour and slight blush tint hold depths of citrus notes, along with the more complex secondary aromas of cooked apples, breadcrumbs, honey and almond. (Please note, our Classic Cuvée is now sold out but it still available as part of the Celebration Case)
Something special for New Year’s Day
Start the year as you mean to go on, with a bottle – or two – of our Sparkling Rosé. Made with pinot noir grapes this fruit-driven sparkling wine has notes of wild strawberries and redcurrants with a rich honey warmth. The vibrant pink colour is sure to bring cheer and a reason to look ahead with rosé tinted glasses!
