A selection of wines for you this Christmas, chosen by Hedonism Wines
The final wine of the month for this year, and as it’s December, we have a celebration and the festive season in mind. As well as Christmas wines, don’t forget to check our cocktails feature, and I will be cooking up some Christmas recipes for you to enjoy. Before you ask, I will have a glass of wine in my hand as I work my magic in the kitchen.
Before I hand over to Sherry Rose Stolar for her picks for December, I just wanted to say a big thank to Sherry on behalf of The Mayfair Foodie and our lovely readers for the selections this year. Judging from feedback received, it’s been a popular feature.
Over to you, Sherry,
As the temperatures cool, the skies get darker, and the Christmas lights go up, it’s only natural that our wine tastes turn to richer red wines, ports and sherries and, of course, the celebratory bubbles of Champagne. Below are a selection of our recommended Christmas wines, with a little something for everyone to enjoy at your holiday table
Laurent Perrier Rose Brut Magnum
£160.00
Sparkling Rose, Champagne, France.
What celebration is complete without Champagne? Enjoy this classic rose champagne in magnum to ensure the whole family gets a glass (or two!).
Meursault Michelot 2021
£72.80
White Burgundy, France
Whites aren’t just for warmer weather – a fuller-bodied white, like this White Burgundy, goes perfectly with light meats and rich Christmas dishes.
Vina Tondonia Rioja Reserva Tinto Lopez de Heredia 2011
£45.50
Red Rioja,Spain
A wonderfully toasty and smooth Rioja, with a good amount of age, is a great addition for those looking for something to sip and savour at the Christmas dinner table.
Dow`s Vintage 2016
£58.10
Red Port, Douro, Portugal.
What’s Christmas without a vintage port? This is an easy choice, with an excellent vintage from one of the most renowned port houses.
Klein Constantia Vin de Constance 50cl 2013
£100.00
White Cape Point, South Africa
If you’re looking for a pudding option a little lighter on the alcohol side (read: non-fortified), this beloved dessert wine from South Africa is the ideal pairing for Christmas pudding or any other festive-spiced dessert.
So that is for this year, but we start again in January for some great New Year selections. Remember, the team at Hedonism are always happy to help with any wine-related questions you might have.
