Wines For Christmas

Grape – Cabernet Franc

Here you'll find a vinous grotto full of natural wines that we've chosen to highlight for the the festive season. Everything you'll need to get through December. Various styles of celebratory bubbles, for Christmas morning through to late night parties; robust red wines that one turns to when a chill is in the air and the fire is lit; textured, complex whites that will sit on the dinner table and more than do justice to the roasted bird; pocket-friendly options for larger gatherings or those looking to fill the racks; wines by the litre or magnum, because 'tis the time of year for big bottles; youthful wines bursting with vim or those with a few years under their belts awaiting that special occasion to pop the cork. Our seasonal edit is sure to bring you some Christmas cheer.

Either shop the whole collection, or use the filter to the left to narrow things down and get to exactly what you're looking for. Order for yourself or we can deliver directly to a lucky loved one as a gift.

Noëlla Morantin
Momu 2020

Aromatically this is a textbook example of the grape; plush, brightly-toned notes of red berries, charred capsicum and ground coffee are vibrant and upfront. On the palate the wine is glossy, with deep, sumptuous fruit and gentle bitters leading into detailed granular tannins and a stony, mineral backbone. Find out more.

Qvevri 2023

Olivier Cousin
Pur Breton 2024

Pur Breton is in many ways Olivier's emblematic cuvée. Its name, an indirect way of stating '100% Cabernet Franc' where it is not permitted to be said, a source of consternation for the Anjou appellation and exemplar of the spirit of its maker. Find out more.
