What's inside Fred's Top Six For Christmas Day?
🍷 Found Asti Secco
To kick the selection off, it's a classic glass of bubbly. Expect floral aromas with top notes of peach lychee, sage, and passion fruit.
🍷 Collection Chablis
Next up, a serving of Chablis. Rounded in mouthfeel and with top notes of green apple, it has aromas of toasted nuts. Lovely teamed with a spot of smoked salmon.
🍷 Expressions Ribolla Gialla
To follow, a zesty glass of white. Bursting with stone fruits like yellow peach, complete with touches of orange, almonds and sage, this is great paired with turkey.
🍷 Collection Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Closiers
Rich in red fruits and well-balanced with nuances of clove and cinnamon, this plump red is a brilliant match for red meat.
🍷 L’Or du Ciron Sauternes
Heavy on flavours of apricot and candied orange, this pick is made with a combination of ripe Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes that have been left on the vine to undergo what's called 'noble rot' for added flavour.
🍷 Classics No.41 Finest Reserve Port
It's not Christmas without Port. Fruity and sweet, it's ideal served with a selection of your favourite cheeses.
At just £68 for this entire bundle, this really is too good of a deal to miss. Not to mention, it will set you up for Christmas Day. Get it now for less!
