Winter Warmers Case

This is made from a grenache and syrah blend, roughly 60% grenache and 40% syrah. Full-flavoured, full-bodied and ripe tasting yet dominated by rich fruit flavours. The amount of oak used is minimal and subtle. The wine is primarily matured in vats rather than new barrels, meaning any oak influence serves as light structural support without overpowering the wine.

Lovely ripe yet fresh malbec from the cool Argentine region of Altamira. matured 50% in tank for freshness and 50% in barrel for richness. Made by Roberto de la Mota of Mendel.

A beautifully fragrant and medium-bodied take on Barossa shiraz, this 2024 Exhibition release shows the remarkable elegance that Whistler Wines delivers so well. It’s the first vintage to be crafted entirely from estate fruit, grown biodynamically (though not certified), and the result is a vibrant, finely balanced wine that proves Barossa can be both generous and refreshingly light on its feet. The nose bursts with violets, purple fruit, mocha and a gentle pepper lift, all wrapped in a plush but not overdone darkness. The palate is zesty and juicy with silky tannins, showing red, blue and black fruit in harmony, a subtle savoury thread and a delicate slate note that brings poise. Nothing feels heavy or over the top; instead this is bright, refined and wonderfully drinkable. A fantastic-value Australian exclusive and a smart expression of Barossa shiraz.

A scented, harmoniously balanced claret made by the highly regarded Jean-Michel Baudet. Two-thirds merlot with the balance cabernet sauvignon and a splash of malbec for added depth. Superb-value Blaye. As recipients of our 2024 Climate & Nature fund, the château wants to build on its already impressive sustainability credentials by planting nearly 1,000m of new hedgerows around their vineyards. Made up of native shrubs the hedges will create wildlife habitats and absorb carbon from the atmosphere.

Cabardès has to include both Rhône and Bordeaux varieties, and 2021 was an outstanding vintage for this wine. It displays wonderful balance of fruit, tannin and oak, delivering ripe, dark fruit character with a hint of pepper on the finish. The 2021 is a blend of merlot and syrah, with cabernet sauvignon and grenache in support. We are delighted to be able to offer this wine with a supplier-supported saving of £36 per dozen until Friday 6th November 2026.

A new-wave Spanish star turn in our 2026 Wine Champions. This comes from Pepe Mendoza, who’s a master at bringing freshness to his wines, while still expressing their generous, herbal Mediterranean character. ‘I don’t know if I’ve ever tasted a wine with so much blue fruit!’ exclaimed one taster. ‘Beautiful, and so full of life,’ said another.
