Wines For Christmas

Grape – Syrah

Here you'll find a vinous grotto full of 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.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Metisse' 2023

The darker juice from the Syrah pulling more towards a rosé in appearance, but with a peachy sunset tint from the macerated Viognier, it remains a hard wine to categorise, but also begs the question, what does that matter? Worked in this way the Syrah gives some gummy red fruits to frame the herbal, anise character of the Viognier, which is extracted to leave a wonderfully fine-grained, delicate tannic profile.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Ostara' 2022

A plush, glossy wine with bright aromas of cherry and raspberry, both fresh and confected, over a compact body of these gateaux-like fruits, with a subtle framboise-esque almond note hovering just out of shot. A judicious balance of grip and crunch to the finish keeps things feeling clear-cut and pure, working its magic most effectively when served with a brisk chill. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Larmande 2011

Those who have had the experience know that, whilst humbly priced, Mazel wines age with aplomb. We're happy to offer a small quantity of the above Syrah cuvee with well over a decade under its belt. Here we start to see the youthful fruit fall away into something more chiseled and defined. Find out more.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
L'Alezan 'Merci' 2023

The super-fine bubbles are pinprick but persistent, buoying the gummy strawberry fruits of the Syrah on a little cushion of air. The addition of the white grape creates a lovely brick-tinged, amber-blush colour in the glass, and carries through into spicy, textural stone fruits. Find out more.

Marzagana Elementales
Cielo y Tierra 2022

A rare planting makes for a unique expression of Syrah, it's potential to display dark, charry fruit here feels enhanced with the volcanic influence. A wide-open perfume floats above a slick, glossy body that is dense with juicy black olives and blackcurrant. Less granular in texture than the other wines using indigenous grapes, it shimmers long into the profoundly mineral finish. Find out more.

La Tangente 'Petit Prince' 2023

Aromatics balance brighter, higher tones of red fruits with savoury mushroom in a way that hints at something Burgundian. Texturally, the wine is slick, plush and elegant, giving the dusty cherry fruits and unexpected citrus peels an lovely soft edge. Find out more.
