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.

Fabio Ferracane
Macerato 2022

Highly aromatic, burnished amber maceration of Catarrato.

Camillo Donati
Lambrusco 2023

Vinyes Singulars
Xarel-lo Amphora 2021

The eponymous vessel always seems to lend a diffused, wide-open quality to the aromas of a wine - here white peach, melon and prickly white peppercorn provide a highly fragrant lift to the overall shape and balance. Tannins from the short maceration feel sanded-down and granular, raw lemon citrus gives a piquant twang, cutting through the smoky, pithy white grapefruit and tailing long into the finish.

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.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Enlil' 2023

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.

Val de Combrès
Merlinpimpin 2023

Aromas have an inviting raspberry ripple quality that draws you in to sumptuous, concentrated fruit and lively, frothy bubbles. The big trademark VDC fruits are loaded to the front, in the finish tailing into almond cherrystones and amaro herbs. A fabulous new release from Val that is as equally at ease lighting up the party as it is to commence proceedings at the dinner table - bravo! Find out more.
