Gifts of the Season from Herefordshire
Christmas is fast approaching, and if you’re stuck on what to buy for the loved ones in your life have you considered thoughtful Christmas drink gifts? Even better, locally sourced bottles from independent producers?
At Radlow Hundred, we have a whole host of delicious drinks to choose from this festive season, including a special mulled wine. Whether it’s a toast around the tree, or a showstopping bottle for the big day, here are a few of our top picks for this year:
For: Wrapping Presents
With the trend for hot cocktails going nowhere, mulled wine is poised to take centre stage again this Christmas. Made with quality Tempranillo skilfully matched to a secret blend of spices, Jacob Marley’s Mulled Wine has been crafted for those moments when only the best will do. Warm it up gently on the stove, dish out into beautiful mugs and garnish with a selection of your favourite winter spices.
For: Christmas Day Feast
Radlow Hundred Rondo 2023 Vintage
One of the few Rondo bottlings available from England, this grape is resistant to English chills and the warm summers fill the softly sweet fruit. With hints of vanilla, dark cherries and a damson nose, this ruby red soft Rondo is a medium bodied wine. Notes of dark currants and a hint of pepper lifts the cherry flavour whilst a gentle oaked edge and light tannins bring this wine to a playfully pleasing finish. Pair with a roast turkey and all the trimmings.
For: New Year’s Eve Festivities
Radlow Hundred Rosé 2023 Vintage
Rosé has been lifted out of the confines of summer drinking in recent years and is now a style of wine enjoyed throughout the year for festivities. The Radlow Hundred Rosé 2023 Vintage is a premium blend of fruity Rondo red grapes and crisp Solaris white grapes, inspired by the sweeping shingle beach along the River Wye, portrayed on the label. Enjoy alongside salmon canapés on New Year’s Eve to welcome in fresh beginnings.
We’d love to see how you’re celebrating this year! If you do decide to raise a glass of Radlow Hundred or Jacob Marley’s this season, please share your warm moments with us @RadlowHundred.
