Wines to enjoy at home this Christmas
Champagne and Sparkling
. Beaumont des Crayeres Grande Reserve N.V. - £24 per bottle (case of 6 £144)
This is our house champagne and offers great value for money - really well made champagne and the perfect accompaniment to the party season. Rich and creamy and utterly delicious.
. 1682 Steenberg Sparkling, Brut N.V. Constantia, South Africa - £14 per bottle (case of 6 £84)
This wine combines the richness of chardonnay grape with the berry fruit of the pinot noir. It is refreshingly crisp and fantastic with seafood.
Whites
. Spitting Spider Unoaked Chardonnay, Dowie Doole, South Australia, 2009 - £9 per bottle (case of 12 £108)
Really well made and affordable Australian chardonnay.
. Gros Manseng, Domaine Cambos, Cotes de Gascogne 2009 - £9.50 per bottle (case of 12 £114)
Our favourite find of 2010. Elegant, fresh and seriously tasty.
. Rick Stein’s Label, Sauvignon Blanc, Chateau Bauduc, Bordeaux 2009 - £10.50 per bottle (case of 12 £126)
This is exceptionally zingy sauvignon blanc. Bordeaux white can often be bland and flat, but this a different matter altogether and very good.
Rose
. Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rose, Stellenbosch, South Africa 2009 - £13 per bottle (£156 per case)
Drinkable at any time of the year. It has really rich flavours, which make it a very enjoyable Christmas treat.
Reds
. Klein Steenberg Bordeaux Blend, Constantia, South Africa 2007 - £9.50 per bottle (case of 6 £57)
Succulent black fruits, a smoky quality and good firm tannins to balance.
. Rioja Crianza, Sanchobaron, Domenco de Jarauta, 2007 - £11 per bottle (case of 12 £132)
Smoothness on the mouth, cloves and cinnamon on the nose - a really enjoyable winter warmer.
. Malbec, Pascual Toso, Mendoza, Argentina 2008 - £14 per bottle (case of 12 £168)
Big and fruity but at the same time a soft and creamy texture.
