The wine as gifts mixed case costs £99 and includes two bottles each of the following six wines.
Prosecco Sestiere Castello 4357 NV, Italy: Very popular at the moment — it seems that everyone is buying Prosecco. Scented and medium-bodied, this is a great wine on its own, or try it with some peach juice and make a classic Bellini cocktail — ideal festive drinking!
Les Terres Rousses Sauvignon Blanc 2007, France: Ultra crisp, minerally and bursting with fruit, this beautifully poised sauvignon is superb on its own or with a variety of festive dishes.
Macon-Prissé Les Clochettes 2006, Cave de Prissé, Burgundy: This is a delightfully elegant and finely poised structured style of wine that shows real minerality and terroir — all things one should find in a good white Burgundy.
Navajas Tinto Reserva 2004: Under Rioja wine regulations a Reserva has to be aged for three years before being released for sale, so this wine has been perfectly matured for you by the producer. Here you will find flavours of wild strawberry and vanilla with delicious smoky fruit — perfect with richer dishes.
Domaine de la Souterranne Merlot Cuvée Guillaume 2006, France: “. . . So many French Merlots are dull. Not this one. It’s throwing off clouds of blackberry, blackcurrant and mint aroma, and has blended a serious, chewy texture with utterly delightful ripe black fruit and mint and herb seasoning. Just what Merlot ought to be.” Oz Clarke — 250 Best Wines for 2009 Guide Chateau Nardou 2005, Côtes de Francs, Bordeaux: What would Christmas be without a good bottle of classic Bordeaux on the table? From the Côtes de Francs this gorgeous wine is a mixture of merlot and cabernet franc. It has a lovely aromatic nose, good structured blackcurrant and plum fruit and a pleasant aspect of herbs — the perfect gift.
