Château la Claymore is a 33-hectare estate owned by the Dubard family in Bordeaux’s famed Lussac-Saint-Émilion region. The winery has a well-deserved reputation for crafting quality wines and this one is a classic Merlot-based Bordeaux. It’s packed with plenty of plummy fruit, a note of mocha and a delicious hint of vanilla. A fantastic wine to enjoy with food, it’s a perfect pick for the festive season.
As if the multi-award-winning Redbreast isn’t a dream gift by itself, the special bird feeder edition elevates it to something truly special. Developed in collaboration with BirdLife International, this limited-edition bottle features a beautiful casing that transforms into a bird feeder. As for the whiskey, it’s rich and complex with spicy and fruity aromas and toasted wood notes. An absolute classic.
A stunning gift (and an excellent pick if you’re throwing a party), the O’Briens Christmas Luxury wine case features a gorgeous array of benchmark wines from top winemakers around the world. This carefully curated selection has wines to suits all tastes, from an aromatic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to a bold Ripasso and the all-important bubbly for the festive season.
Champagne is always a welcome gift, whatever the occasion, and you’ll really make someone’s Christmas sparkle this year with a bottle of Taittinger. This icon of the Champagne world is crisp and elegant with notes of brioche, peach and white flowers. A great pick for anyone who loves to host a party, it’s also excellent value – so why not pick up a bottle for New Year’s Eve too?
