These six hearty reds are a match made in heaven with the strong flavours of the Christmas season, such as rich meats and tasty cheeses. Perfect for keeping you warm when there’s a winter wonderland outside.

 Black Cottage Marlborough Pinot Noir 2020- Perfectly paired with rich foods, this wine is dark and brooding with aromas of forest floor, black cherry and chocolate-coated coffee bean. The palate has spicy, peppery notes with thyme, violets and a texture typical to Marlborough's Southern Valleys.

Rothschild Pays d'Oc Syrah 2020Intense, deep and full-bodied Syrah from Rothschild's varietal Pays d'Oc range.

Espiritu de Chile Intrepido Cabernet Sauvignon 2020-From one of Chile's most traditional winemaking regions, Curicó Valley. The wine is aged in oak barrels, creating a complex, smooth, powerful and structured finished product. Fruity notes combine well with black pepper and a hint of caramel. A perfect match to a variety of dishes.

Care for Wild Arthur Syrah ViognierA beautifully spicy and rich Syrah blended with just 3% of Viognier make this a really complex but delicious wine. The aromatic Viognier helps lift the peppery Syrah and creates an absolutely perfect wine for chicken and meat dishes, especially if they have a bit of spice.

Aresti Trisquel Series Altitud Merlot 2018- Dark, baked earthy notes on the nose. On the palate, there is a balance in the level of tannins and acidity which reinforce the flavours of dark fruits, chocolate, coffee and oak, whilst black cherry and plum comes through on the finish. Top class!

Finca Ferrer Estate Grown Malbec 2017An impressively rich and satin-smooth Argentinian Malbec, which opens up with aromas of blackberry, chocolate, violets, sweet spices and slightly mineral notes, followed by mocha and black pepper. Medium bodied, with intense though delicate tannins and a lingering and enjoyable finish. A perfect match for all sorts of meats, roasted or with sauces, as well as meaty fish with grilled vegetables.
