Wines For Christmas

Style – Cloudy Funky + Wild

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.

Val de Combrès
Les Champs Magnetiques 2022

A 15-day maceration of Roussanne blended with a direct-press of Vermentino and Grenache Blanc. In a lightly oxidative style, the wine was assembled into 600 litre demi-muid barrels for 6 months with no topping up. An intriguing blend of fresh, fleshy stone fruits, sitting alongside the saline complexity of the oxidation. Find out more.

Antonio Gismondi
È Festa 2022

A fine-beaded frizzante that pours a hazy gold in the glass, this very much takes the fleshy, textural peachiness of the varietal and sets it against the saltiness of both the lees contact and the limestone rock of the vineyard soils. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Les Lèches 2024

Ripe and textural with layers of tropical fruits, spices and a bright mineral backbone from the limestone. This year the wine is dry and clear-cut, with smoky peaches, herby fennel, aniseed and zesty citrus oils coaxed out by the southern heat. A nourishing country wine with plenty of Mazel soul. Find out more.

  • Region Valvignères, Ardèche, France

Vins d'en Tom
Bota 2021

Bota hails from Tom's own single hectare parcel, right outside his house. Here the alluvial soils are more rocky and some of the vines were planted as far back as the late 30s, at the end of the Spanish civil war. Bristling with spice, it is a dark, sappy wine with a robust structure and some charming Catalan rusticity. Find out more.

  • Region Empordà, Catalonia, Spain
  • Grapes Carinyena, Garnatxa, Macabeu & Picapoll
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered and unfined, minimal additional sulphites

Le Mazel
Cuvée Paulou 2024

Crackling with a bright, nervy energy, the fruits have a pleasing balance of tart raspberry and plum. There is something iron-rich and bloody at its core and the mineral imprint of the limestone can be felt distinctly in the finish. Find out more.

  • Region Valvignères, Ardèche, France
  • Grapes Cinsault
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Fabio Ferracane
Macerato 2023

Sea-salted apricot, wild herbs and flowers float out of the glass, preceding chalky minerals, grippy, mouth-coating tannins and a resinous pine cone quality, flecked with medicinal sage and clove. Find out more.
