Big Christmas Box with Musical Biscuit Tin, Nuts, Crackers, Chutney & Mulled Spices

Ca' Vegar Custoza DOC 2022

• ABV: 12.5%
• Vintage: 2022
• Size: 75cl

At its price, this Northern Italian white punches well above its weight. Thanks to scrupulous fruit selection at harvest and careful lees contact during fermentation, you'll be amazed by the depth of flavour, complexity and concentration. Tropical fruit notes underpinned by almonds with a welcome freshness from the vineyard's proximity to the picturesque Lake Garda. A serious wine at a great price.

T918 Single Site Sauvignon Blanc 2024

• ABV: 13%
• Vintage: 2024
• Size: 75cl

Wine may be considered art by many, but it's the science behind each particular vineyard that shapes the character of the finished wine: location; climate, soil plus that little enigmatic something that the French call "terroir". This Sauvignon Blanc hails from a fine single site in a unique desert-influenced location, where searing sun coaxes the grapes to perfect ripeness, whilst cooling breezes provide welcome coolness, imbuing the fruit with great depth of flavour. It shows tight and bright tropical fruit but remains restrained and controlled with a lovely refreshing edge to it. A singular expression of a unique and special place.

Brisa Branca Alvarinho 2023

• ABV: 13%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

Coastal Alvarinho from Portugal is becoming a firm favourite at VW. Though the grape variety has found fame in recent years from Spain's Galicia just north of the border, it's the sites along the Portuguese coast that are really starting to produce excellent quality and varietal expression at a lower price. Brisa Branca has all the trademark Alvarinho characteristics - an abundance of citrus fruit with a subtle tropical twist and a salinity on the palate that both refreshes and pairs incredibly well with all seafood dishes.

16 Little Black Pigs Chardonnay 2023

• ABV: 12.5%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

The origin of this charming label lies with a few Gloucester Old Spots from 2007. Winemaker Steve Grimley is the keeper of the exponentially reproducing troupe of the swine that gave us the 16 Little Black Pigs label. Their enthusiasm to supply him with top-quality meat is matched only by his drive to supply us with great wine - like this one. With exuberantly fresh citrus fruit at its heart, crunchy acidity and long, lively finish.

Vitalita delle Venezie DOC Pinot Grigio 2023

• ABV: 11%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

When you think of a classic Pinot Grigio, you think bright citrus and pear notes paired with a zingy freshness. Vitalita Pinot Grigio is the epitome of this style. Bursting with fresh notes of lemon, lime, pear and a hint of exotic fruit, it is a great example of the easy-going yet sophisticated Pinot Grigio from the Veneto region. It is best enjoyed chilled making it a crisp and refreshing tipple for all occasions.

Senti Prosecco Rose Extra Dry NV

• ABV: 11%
• Vintage: NV
• Size: 75cl

Prosecco has been the top selling fizz in the UK for the last few years (even beating Champagne and Cava). It's made from a white grape called Glera, but in 2020 it was ruled that a small percentage of Pinot Noir could be added to the Glera in order to create pink Prosecco! Cue cheers from all directions! And so the Senti Prosecco Rosé was born, made from grapes grown in the prestigious Prosecco region, capturing that same enjoyment, refreshment and celebratory spirit that we know you adore.

Senti Prosecco Extra Dry NV

• ABV: 11%
• Vintage: NV
• Size: 75cl

Veneto is home to a number of Italy's classic wine regions but it is the sparkling wines from Prosecco that currently have a buzz surrounding them. The best sparkling wines have both delicacy and intensity, something we nailed on a recent trip out to see top Prosecco winemaker Umberto Menini. A lovely style of fizz packed with apple and pear fruit and a little leafiness adding to its charm. A citrus-led palate and excellent intensity make Senti the perfect aperitif and celebratory sparkler.

L'Ornato Appassimento 2021

• ABV: 13.5%
• Vintage: 2021
• Size: 75cl

Whereas a full-blooded Amarone is made completely from dried grapes, the L'Ornato is a blend of juice from dried grapes combined with their estate-level Corvinone, Corvina and Cabernet Sauvignon which are fermented more traditionally. The result is a really smooth, huge red with masses of cherry and blackcurrant fruit, complex spicy and herbal notes and possesses the spirit of a top-drawer Amarone, but at a snip of the price.

Conde de Valencia Gran Seleccion 2016

• ABV: 14%
• Vintage: 2016
• Size: 75cl

On a trip to Spain we discovered the amazing work of Jorge Caus. With this wine you'll find the well executed combination of Spain's ancient winemaking history and Valencia's thriving modern winemaking technology. The result? Structure and complexity you'd expect to find in a Rioja Gran Reserva plus the soft fruitiness of a wine far younger in style. We very soon became addicted to this little number. Try this mellow blend with tapas.

Les Hautes Terrasses Côtes du Rhône 2022

• ABV: 13.5%
• Vintage: 2022
• Size: 75cl

Les Hautes Terrasses is a blend of some very carefully selected and expressive parcels from around the Rhône, creating a red wine that exhibits the style for which the region has become world-famous - soft-fruited, approachable but full-bodied red. And it triumphs beyond all doubt with gentle ripe plums and cherry with delicate floral scents. A very pretty wine indeed.

Rustle & Hustle Wine Co. Limestone Coast Shiraz 2023

• ABV: 14%
• Vintage: 2023
• Size: 75cl

With its cool maritime climate and large flat plains brimming with sunlight, the Limestone Coast is a favourite Aussie playground for producing bold and fruit-forward wines. Rising star winemaker Andréa Maxwell has expertly managed to harness the power of these shiraz grapes by creating a wine bursting with flavours of dark cherry and plum that mingle with a hint of spice and chocolate. It is the perfect balance between punchy, dense black fruit and easy drinking, making it an ideal wine to be enjoyed on its own or with a meal.

El Nubarrón Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

• ABV: 13.5%
• Vintage: 2022
• Size: 75cl

Hernan de la Barra tends these Cabernet vines in a verdant valley, tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges. Despite an extremely early and hot season that was made especially challenging because of the ongoing drought, the vines have endured and provided very ripe fruit. The vines here benefit from a mild climate and moist soil which is perfect for grape growing. And after careful alchemy in the winery the resulting wine is beautifully structured with welcome tannins and succulent dark berry fruit.
