3 Best Wines for Winter

With bitter cold and torrential rain more of an inevitability than a misfortune, it’s time to take the party inside. Whether curled up on the sofa with a loved one, or entertaining guests at a mid-week dinner party, these are three of the wines we highly recommend…

Quinta de Vale Veados 2011

A modern red from Portugal with a wonderful blend of indigenous Portuguese variety Touriga Nacional and a splash of spice.

Millton Vineyards Riverpoint Viognier 2011

A wonderfully complex and sophisticated white from New Zealand’s Gisbourne region. Aromatic with exciting interweaving flavours of honey, spice, apricots, peaches and smoke. Perfect with white meats and fish.

Sancho Garces Crianza Seleccion Especial Rioja 2008

Only select bunches of the best fruit, from the oldest, best situated vineyards were used in this wine, which was aged in French and American barrels from top coopers. Expensive to make and very lavish and rich in style, definitely one to get your hands on this winter.
