For gifting or hosting, these holiday sips will have you feeling positively fa-la-la. —Noa Nichol
Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny: As far back as 1915, an oak cask containing the finest blend of available Tawny material was set aside for the exclusive use of the Penfold family. This wine was known as The Grandfather. With each vintage varietal batches are selected for Grandfather; these are individually aged in seasoned old oak casks before being blended together at 14 years of age. This blend is then introduced into the Grandfather Solera: six stages designed to fully integrate all components, offering consistency and freshness with a final minimum average blended age of 20 years. The result: classical Penfolds fruitcake, liquorice and vanillin oak flavours with a sweet full and round mid-palate, and a finish that persists on and on.
Freixenet Cordón Negro: Three grape varieties are used in the creation of the base wine for Freixenet Cordón Negro, making a light, modern, refreshing cava. Delicate aromas combining tones of green apple and pear, with light resonances of Mediterranean fruits (peach, melon, pineapple) over a base of citrus, all beautifully balanced by light toasty aromas.
Road 13 Advent Calendar: ’Tis the season to say goodbye to stale chocolate, and instead be swept away by six or 12 surprise Road 13 wines. Old favourites, new releases and special-occasion wines specifically curated for the season. Sip and savour with friends and family, or cellar away for another day.
Graham’s Selection Pack: This perfect gift for a port-loving friend contains five delicious selections from Graham’s. Pairing wise, port and Christmas chocolate is a match made in heaven. For dark, intense chocolate flavours, we recommend the full-fruited Graham’s Six Grapes or Late Bottled Vintage.
Amaro Montenegro: Italy’s most iconic amaro is created from the essence of more than 40 botanicals. Traditionally served neat or on the rocks, Montenegro has also become a favourite among world class bartenders for its versatility and adding a flavourful twist to modern cocktails.
