Looking for a little Christmas inspiration?
Published at Nov 23, 2023
You'll find a great range of our best-selling whites, reds and sparkling wines on offer this Christmas, including the fabulous Champagne Devaux (sold by the glass in Gordon Ramsey's restaurants!) and the ever popular, Montresor Amarone della Valpolicella.
Here are few recommendations if you're looking for a little inspiration...
Sparkling
Di Maria Prosecco - offer price, £8.95
Beautifully presented, Di Maria remains our best-selling Prosecco from our portfolio. It delivers a nice balance of citrus fruit with fresh acidity and a soft, easy finish. It's a great crowd pleaser, so it's an ideal fizz for the festive season.
Champagne Devaux Grand Reserve - offer price £30.95
We love this grower Champagne, and by 'grower' we mean a Champagne from a smaller producer who grows their own grapes. With their winemaker voted the International Wine Challenge's Sparkling Winemaker of the year 2020, and listings in Gordon Ramsey's restaurants up and down the country, they may be small but their Champagne is most definitely mighty!
Whites
Montsable Chardonnay - offer price £9.95
France's Mediterranean coast delivers so much great value, and here's a classic example. This is top quality Chardonnay from high altitude vineyards in Limoux. Cooler nights slow the ripening season, enabling complex citrus and stone fruit aromatics to develop alongside a back drop of fresh acidity. A touch of oak ageing offers hints of vanilla and a soft, rounded finish. This is a great value Chardonnay which will pair perfectly with roast Turkey and all the trimmings!
Domaine Thomas Sancerre - offer price £19.95
It wouldn't be Christmas without a classic bottle of quality Sancerre in the mix! Domaine Thomas is a small 9ha estate in the south of the Sancerre appellation. The vineyards lie predominantly on the sought-after 'silex soils' which help to bring out the aromatic nature of Sauvignon Blanc. It's super elegant, with delicate green fruit aromatics and a crisp, mineral rich finish. The perfect accompaniment for smoked salmon.
Reds
Montsable Pinot Noir - offer price £9.95
Like the Chardonnay, the Montsable Pinot Noir over delivers at the price point. Richer in fruit than classic Burgundy, but a superb, and much more affordable alternative. The nose is brimming with notes of cherries and redcurrant, while the palate is juicy and smooth with fine, well rounded tannins. This is a great shout if you're having game over Christmas.
Montresor Amarone della Valpolicella - offer price £26.95
Still as popular as ever, Amarone is flying out at this time of year. The Montresor is typically bold and full of sun-drenched red fruit flavours, as well as those classic raisined notes. The rich, sweet fruit character of Amarone makes it a great wine for your cheeseboard.
