Christmas Pudding
The traditional Christmas Pudding is a staple in most homes during the festive season. Enjoyed after Christmas dinner, served hot and with a splash of cream or brandy butter. Our Pinot Noir is the perfect accompaniment. A delicate, medium bodied red wine, aged in French Oak to add hints of toast. The long and smooth finish creates the perfect balance of flavours, matched with the sweetness of the Christmas Pudding.
Mince Pies
These sweet pastry and fruit pies have been a Christmas tradition for hundreds of years. Whether you make your own or enjoy them straight from the box, our Nethercote Hill wine is a delicious pairing. An elegant blend of Pinot Noir and Rondo, with flavours of dark fruits. Light tannins lead to a long and mouth-watering finish.
Cheese Board
Christmas isn’t complete with a cheese board. Relaxing on Boxing Day with a glass of wine and a selection of delicious cheeses.
Bacchus is fresh, crisp and with aromas of nettle and Elderflower. Complimenting creamy, rich cheeses such as Goats Cheese, Brie and Camembert.
Pinot Noir is great for hard cheeses such as Pecorino and Manchego
Nethercote Hill is delicious enjoyed with mature cheeses, such as Cheddar.
