Six wines for a festive soirée, from the first sparkling toast to the reds passed around the table. This festive selection brings together elegant sparkling wine, a textured Chardonnay and four distinctive reds, offering plenty to explore across Christmas dinner, impromptu visits and leisurely holiday evenings. A generous gift for a wine lover, or your own holiday hosting collection.
2020 Recaredo Relats Brut Nature (Penedes, Spain): Elegant bubbles with brioche and yellow fruit, balanced by vibrant acidity. Aged for 32 months on its lees and made with zero dosage, it brings depth and freshness to the opening toast.
2025 Patrick Sullivan Chardonnay (Victoria, Australia) Lemon, grapefruit and white peach meet toasted hazelnut and a touch of vanilla custard. A creamy, satiny texture is balanced by lively acidity, lovely alongside roast poultry and rich festive sides.
2025 Marcel Lapierre Morgon Vieilles Vignes No SO2 (Beaujolais, France): Old-vine Gamay with vibrant fruit, savoury depth and the structure that defines Morgon. Open and generous in youth, this bottling without added sulphur offers a bright, immediate expression of Lapierre’s granitic vineyards.
2024 Garrelière Gamay Sans Tra la la (Loire, France): Fresh, lively and full of flavour, this joyful Gamay brings an easygoing note to the gathering. Deliciously uncomplicated, with an exuberant label to match.
2025 l’Ecu Nobis (Rhône Valley Syrah made in the Loire, France): 100% Syrah with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, raspberry and violet, layered with cracked black pepper, dried herbs and a hint of smokiness. Silky tannins and lively acidity bring freshness to its juicy, fruit-driven palate.
2025 William Downie Cathedral Pinot Noir (Victoria, Australia): Wild strawberry, red cherry and rose petals meet dried herbs and earthy spice. Fragrant and supple, with silky tannins and lively acidity, it’s a natural companion to mushrooms, charcuterie and roast chicken.
