Christmas Wine Gifts 2024 Top Ten
A straw-gold, delicately light, sweet and malty, leaving a long slightly spicy finish. The story of Glenfarclas Distillery, established in 1836, is as rich and colourful as the great Glenfarclas Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky itself. It is the story of one Scottish family, the Grants, who since 1865 have been united by a single vision - the creation of the perfect malt whisky, the ultimate taste of Scotland £48.50 per 70cl bottle
6. Champagne Gremillet Brut 'Ambassadeur' NV. Our 'House' Champagne made from a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. This is excellent value for money and has a lovely elegant 'mousse' ('mousse' is a term used with sparkling wines to describe the finesse of the bubbles within the wine). The high proportion of Pinot Noir in the blend results in a champagne that is quite creamy in texture and has a lovely depth of fruit. Perfect as a gift or for festive celebrations. £33.40 per bottle.
7. Churchill's Vintage 2011 Port. "IN ALL MY 39 VINTAGES I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED YOUNG PORTS WITH SUCH COLOUR, STRUCTURE AND INTENSITY."
"The sheer fruit intensity of the Churchill’s 2011 Vintage is still very much present within its tannic structure. I think it will give more and more pleasure as years go by and It is certainly a Vintage Port with which to celebrate the turn of the next century." - Johnny Graham, 2021. £106.70 per bottle
8. Chateau Beard la Chapelle 2020, Grand Cru St Emilion, Bordeaux. With a mix of blackcurrant and vanilla aromas lifted by a fresh note of aniseed, this opulent wine is well-balanced with layers of rich black fruit flavours and a long mineral finish that is silky smooth. £24.65 per bottle
9. Arak, Massaya, Lebanon. EL Massaya means the dusk and in the Bekaa, the sky at dusk is the same dark blue that is found on these traditional Lebanese arak bottles. The mezze is usually a combination of flavors difficult to pair with wines. Therefore, we recommend El Massaya arak with the traditional Lebanese mezze. Indeed, the aniseed taste refreshes the palate and makes every bite a great experience. In order to appreciate it fully, fill one third of the glass with this superior arak and top off two thirds of fresh water and then add several ice cubes. £42.50 per 50cl bottle
10. One of a Kind 'Extraordinary' Case of Mixed French Wines. If you're feeling particularly generous, these are all wonderful French red wines, not usually available as single bottles. £400.00
