To celebrate the end of 2020 and the ringing in of 2021, the Chief Wine Officer team shared their exceptional wine knowledge to bring you a carefully curated list of the tastiest bottles to help get you through these chilly months.

Our delicious wine recommendations came from none other than our dedicate wine experts, and so, to inject January with some much-needed cheer, here’s the full list for you to work your way through this winter… Cheers!

JANE PARKINSON

GD Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo 2018

“With its delicately spiced finish, this is the perfect wine to kick off the festive season! Pair with a delicious roast veal to bring out its sage perfume.”

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, Blanc de Blancs, 2008

“Presented in 18th century antique style bottles, this hand-crafted champagne is aged eighteen metres underground in the UNESCO status Saint-Nicaise cellars in Reims for eight years before being released.”

MAY MATTA-ALIAH

André Clouet Brut Rose Non-Vintage

“Delicious and bursting with fruit and minerals – and an absolutely stunning color!”

Dow’s 1985 Vintage Port

“My love for older vintage port is real… a well-curated cheese plate and a glass or two of port is a recipe for happiness.”

Monte Rossa Brut Cabochon , Vintage Franciacorta, 2012

“Drinks like a rich toasty white wine with the added bonus of bubbles – this can easily carry a meal.”

AMY CHRISTINE

Yves Leccia, Patrimonio Rouge, E Croce 2018

“Fresh and saline, with ample body and tuned-up aromatics, this works wonders with anything fresh from the sea.”

Peter Lauer, Riesling, Feils, Grosses Gewächs 2017

“Opulent spice, fresh herbs, mint and a hint of exoticism… what more do you want?”

Domaine James, Cotes du Rhone, 2018

“What a lovely wine, it would be hard to adversely criticise it, really well up with far more expensive ones.”

JULIAN CHAMBERLEN

Brut NV, Wiston Estate, 2014

 “The best of British bubbly!” 

Sesti, Rosso di Montalcino, 2018

“Organic, brimming with sunshine and character. You can’t help but feel better after a bottle!”

PETER MCCOMBIE

Cayetano del Pino Palo, Cortado Solera, Sherry

“An exquisite dry sherry, nutty and richly complex, with a flavour that lingers for ever. Rather good with cheese but wonderful just to sip on its own.”

Isole e Olena, Cepparello, 2017

“One of my favourite wines from one of my favourite producers. Cepparello is a pure Sangiovese ‘Super Tuscan’, and will go down a treat with a winter roast.”

SAM CAPRON

Vinalba Patagonia Reserve Malbec

“Full of fruit and personality!”

Roederer Brut Premier Champagne

“I’ve bought a case of six but I’m going to have to buy another. I keep drinking them!”

Chablis 1er Cru from Aldi

“I’m an Aldi wine lover – and this is one of my faves!”

CWO TEAM

RICHARD

Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut

“This was said to be one of Marilyn Monroe’s favourite wines. Apparently she liked a glass to help her wake up in the morning…”

Spice Route , Chakalaka, 2016

“Of all the hundreds of wines I’ve tasted at CWO events, this one really sticks out for me. A perfect accompaniment to a cheese board.”

CRAIG

Vrede en Lust Kogelberg Chenin Blanc 2017

“A full-bodied wine with orange peel and citrus aromas. Enjoy this wine with creamy Asian or Mexican dishes.”

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV Champagne, France

“A delicious champagne for special occasions!”

DAVID

Bouvet Saphir, Cremant de Loire, 2017

“Crémant is the savvy drinker’s alternative to Champagne… And just in time for the new year!”

Bardos Crianza 2017, Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo

“One of my all time favourites for the festive season!”

LAURA

Cloudy Bay, Sauvignon Blanc, 2020

“An old family favourite that goes down a treat with a classic prawn cocktail!”
