Here are three of our favourite wines we think you’ll want to include in yours:
T-OINOS CLOS STEGASTA ASSYRTIKO
2021 Embark on a sensory adventure with the T-OINOS Clos Stegasta Assyrtiko 2021. Nestled on the Cycladic island of Tinos, this vineyard, located 400 metres above sea level, embraces a rich history dating back to 4000 BC. The Assyrtiko, born from this moon-like landscape, is enchanting with an elegant floral and citrus nose, complemented by a deeply saline minerality. The palate unfolds a symphony of rich, buttery flavours balanced with excellent acidity. This wine – a tribute to the birthplace of Aeolus, the God of Wind – is a perfect match for festive gatherings, especially with oysters, roasted pork belly, or lemon-braised lamb.
BORGOGNO BAROLO CLASSICO 2017
Rooted in the heart of Barolo since 1761, Borgogno embodies the enduring spirit of Italian winemaking. With a history intertwined with Italy’s Unification in 1861, Borgogno’s Barolo continues to redefine tradition. The 2017 Barolo, a result of meticulous craftsmanship, reveals a ruby-red hue with garnet highlights. Fresh red fruits and spicy hints greet the nose, leading to a palate with pleasant acidity and delicate, sweet tannins. This wine, aged over 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels, pays homage to the slow and thoughtful winemaking philosophy of Borgogno. From goulash in Eastern Europe to Yakiniku in Japan and hearty beef ribs in the United States, Borgogno Barolo invites you to explore global traditions with every sip.
SOPLA PONIENTE AMONTILLADO
The Sopla Poniente Amontillado Viejísimo ‘San Roque’ benefits from an average ageing of 30 years in American oak casks, showcasing a mahogany colour and a nose rich in notes of nuts, bitter almonds, and spices. Its dry, medium-bodied profile is heightened by oxidative notes and culminates in a long finish, leaving a marked presence of nuts. It harmonises beautifully with roasted chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, patés, and roast root vegetables, making it a delightful addition to festive feasts. Customisable hampers are available from £100.
