Description
Treat yourself this Christmas with this mixed case of premium red and white wines for Christmas, Santa’s Selection. Like the wines in my Christmas Reds case and Christmas Whites cases, all the wines have been selected to go well with dishes traditionally served at Christmas. But Santa’s Selection wines are just that little bit more special.
This mixed case contains two bottles each of three different red wines and three different white wines, so twelve bottles in total. Included in this mixed case of premium Christmas wines is
- a traditional white Burgundy that pairs well with turkey, ham, poached salmon and many plant-based dishes
- an amazing South African Semillon which complements goose, duck and turkey
- an organic white Grenache from Spain that is very food-friendly and great on its own
- a top class Pinot Noir from the US which is particularly good with duck and goose
- a gorgeous, smooth Margaux for pretty much any Christmas dinner except ham and
- a modern-style, terroir-focused Rioja which is a good all-rounder.
You can see photos of all these wines in the product gallery above. Click on the What’s Included tab to the right to read a summary of each wine and click on the names for more details.
