Bodegas Pinord Cava +&+ Brut Selection
Pénedes, Spain
1 x 75cl
The Aperitif
Start the day with a great sparkling wine. Bodegas Pinord make some of the worlds best sparkling wines.
The Cava +&+ Brut Selección won the award for the 'Best Cava in Spain' at the Wines of Spain Award which consists of a jury of producers, journalists, sommeliers and WSET and is led by Tim Atkin who is also a Master of Wine. He's a renowned wine expert and if it's good enough for Tim, it is certainly good enough for us. The Pinord +&+ Selection Brut Cava NV is a rich, yet floral 'traditional method' sparkling wine, made from the traditional Catalan grapes of Parellada, Xarel-Lo and Macabeo. It undergoes a prolonged aging of the lees to increase the intensity of the flavour. This is made in the same way as champagne. The flavours are complex and perfect for Christmas Day aperitifs!
Domaine de Vedilhan Sauvignon Blanc
Haute Valee de l'Aude, France
1 x 75cl
The Starter White
Domaine de Vedilhan (pronounced 'Domaine de Ved-ee-ohn') is the estate of the Fayet family based in the village of Moussan, close to Narbonne. Uniquely, a brook runs around the estate which provides much needed water in this very hot climate, giving the wines their freshness and appeal. A wonderfully fresh style of Sauvignon Blanc, broad and quite tropical with delicate smokey notes, ripe citrus acidity and a richly-textured finish. It is a wine the whole table will enjoy and it will go so well with Smoked salmon, seafood and any salads.
Shadow Point Chardonnay
Central Coast, California, USA
1 x 75cl
The Main Course White
Light golden in colour, this oak aged white wine reveals an impressive and extremely well-balanced combination of fresh fruity flavours and charming subtle minerality from the maturation in wood. It will work wonderfully well with Turkey at Christmas dinner as a result. Great Californian chardonnay is really hard to find - we are delighted that we've found a real winner here. It is full bodied, soft and round on the palate and the finish is long and very rewarding. The perfect Christmas Day white.
Bodegas Navajas Reserva Rioja
Navarette, Rioja, Spain
1 x 75cl
The Starter Red
This new vintage has only just released. This wine has just picked up a gold medal at the Brussels Wine Show. The first thing you notice about this wine is the lovely berry and spice aromas. Following this is the wonderful flavours of spicy plum, cherry and blackberry that flow through the mouth, resulting in an approachable fruit driven wine with a smooth and mouth filling finish. It is nicely balanced with great fruit characters and persistent flavours. You will instantly taste how well made it is. It is made by one of the tiniest producers in Rioja who focus all of their energies on quality rather than quantity and my how they have succeeded with this stunning Rioja. As a country, Ireland loves Reserva Rioja, and this is one of the very finest Reservas we have tasted. We bet you'll agree too!
Chateau Verriere Bordeaux Superieur
Bordeaux, France
1 x 75cl
The Main Course Red
At the last count, this 2020 Bordeaux had won 4 gold medals at international wine shows. Owned and operated by Alain Besette and his wife Christine, this is one of our favourite Bordeaux wines.
In the glass, the wine shines with a beautiful cherry colour, making way for pleasant aromas of very ripe fruits accompanied by elegant maturity. At once fresh and mellow, the palate is reinforced, but not excessively, by delicate and savoury tannins. Easy to drink, balanced and aromatic, this Château La Verrière is a magnificent discovery. No doubt you to will succumb!!!
Taylors Fine Tawny Port
Porto, Portugal
1 x 75cl
The Cheeseboard Wine
Taylors Fine Tawny Port is incredibly versatile. It can be chilled to bring freshness. This makes it perfect as an aperitif. However, it is most widely known for its smooth and mellow character derived from the hand selected wines that are chosen for this blend. It is a pale brick colour with aromas of butterscotch, figs and prunes, interwoven with attractive nutty and spicy aromas. Smooth and round on the palate, full of rich strawberry jam flavours. Enjoy this with the Cheeseboard on Christmas Day. It will keep for well over four weeks once opened, so can be enjoyed throughout the whole festive season.
Have a wonderful wine experience this Christmas. If our team can do anything at all to help enhance your Christmas gifts, please let us know or call us on +353 1 5820840.
