Tuffon Hall Bacchus
Tuffon Hall is an award-winning family run vineyard in Essex, one of the best places in England to grow grapes for wine. This Essex wine is a cracker, like Sauvignon Blanc on steroids, with pronounced floral aromas and fruity flavours balanced by refreshing acidity. It is the intensity of flavours and acidity that makes this wine so versatile for Christmas.
Clos de l'eglise Macon-Charnay
This white Burgundy is from Macon-Charnay, one of the smallest, and highest regarded of the Macon appellations. Being Burgundy, the grape is Chardonnay and in this warm appellation of southern Burgundy the wines develop ripe flavours. However, unlike the norm for this part of Burgundy, this wine hasn’t seen any oak. This makes for an elegant, refreshing wine with complex ripe flavours of apple, pear, citrus and hints of minerality. This wine has a rich creamy texture which makes it an ideal food wine.
Lyme Bay Winery Pinot Noir 2021
Made from grapes sourced from a collection of the best growers in Essex, this award-winning English Pinot Noir is deliciously fruity, bursting with vibrant red fruits (cherry, plum and raspberry). Enjoy with food or in its own.
Chateau Penin Les Cailloux 2018
This wonderful wine has ripe intense fruit, plum, blackberry and blueberry with vanilla and toast from 12 months in French oak barrels. Smooth and rich with good tannic and acidic structure makes this wine suitable for ageing for a further 5 years. Great depth of flavour and complexity, with a long finish.
Domaine de Tourelles Vieilles Vignes Cinsault 2019
This beautifully balanced wine has pronounced pure red fruit, dried strawberry, plum and raspberry. With its intense fruit, fine grained tannins, and high acidity this wine will age for another 3 to 5 years. Although we confess, we drink ours straight away.
Domaine de Grange Neuve Monbazillac
A fabulous dessert wine, sweet and luscious with a great backbone of fine acidity for a clean finish. The nose is fresh with classic botrytis marmalade and ripe nectarine, flavours on the palate are richer, honey and toffee finishing with a twist of bitter orange zest.
