Our most popular Riesling-style white at Christmas is this aromatic white from Nutbourne. Loved for its versatility, you can enjoy it on its own, or serve with food – think pork dishes here – for a match made in heaven.
8.
Woodchurch Chardonnay, £24.99
Our most popular Chardonnay is this wonderfully fresh white from Woodchurch Vineyard in Kent. It has a smooth, rich finish with long lasting flavours of hazelnuts and caramel. Another one excellent with smoked fish, and one I can’t wait to open at Christmas.
