Christmas Red Wine

Plush cassis and blackberry fruit, exotic spice and fine tannins, with a wonderfully fresh, sophisticated finish.

Deep, concentrated blackcurrant and blueberry fruit, fine-grained tannins and an exotic perfume, finishing rich, polished and powerful.

Made from Portugal’s top red grape varietal, Touriga Nacional, and aged for six months in oak barrels for an exquisite richness in aroma, body and texture.

A sumptuous blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from one of Chianti's most ancient estates, representing over 5 centuries of Siennese winemaking. Loves grilled red meats, game, mature cheeses.

Expressive blackberry and plum fruit, classical cedarwood and graphite notes, with freshness, elegance and a gently savoury finish.

Ripe cherry, damson and strawberry fruit, subtle smoky spice and a luscious, expressive palate with beautifully balanced tannins.

From an undisclosed Pomerol estate whose previous vintage impressed Jonathan Ray with its generous plum fruit and easy-going character.

A serious, classically styled claret, combining concentrated blackcurrant fruit, cedar and spice with impressive structure and depth.

A wonderfully mature wine that still retains remarkable freshness and depth. Rich, complex and beautifully balanced, delivering layers of flavour.

A beautifully developed, traditional Rioja which after 18 years' cellaring is rendered round, silky, complex and classy - full of fruit, full of life.

Our new go-to southern French red – ripe, generous and irresistibly drinkable.

A full-bodied, bold, and complex example with hints of ripe dark cherry and underlying notes of vanilla and chocolate.

A delicious red Rhône and a long a favourite of the Guide Hachette des Vins, Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker and ours. Grenache, syrah and just a touch of mourvedre.

The second wine of Vieux Telegraphe. Produced by the same team on the estates younger vines this is a brilliantly crafted wine, approachable in its youth unlike its big brother.

From Urbina's best fruit and from 20-year-old + vines for a Rioja of superb depth and intensity, to which 19 years of cellaring has added wonderful, intriguing nuance.

Sourced exclusively from a small area of vineyard that was planted by Signor Assunto himself over 40 years ago.
