A Fells guide to festive drinking
The glass of Champagne with your morning prep, or as you share a toast over opening the presents … the perfectly chosen red or white to compliment or cut through the richness of your festive feast … the end-of-the-evening snifter of a fine brandy, perhaps with a mince pie and a fireside armchair …
Christmas is full of moments for (responsible) indulgence, and the right wine can set the crown on any of them.
But where to start, with so many wonderful potential directions of travel?
No one knows the Fells Portfolio better than our team of Brand Managers.
They’re in daily contact with the families behind the wineries, their knowledge of each producer is encyclopaedic, and they’re all upstairs in the tasting room more than enough to make the rest of us very jealous.
No more suitable brains to pick, then, when it comes to recommendations for festive bottles – so that’s what we’ve done.
Each of them has picked out a bottle they’ve set aside for Christmas drinking.
From the ideal turkey Chardonnay to an extra lees-aged Champagne, from rich wintery red to a beautifully matured Armagnac, it’s a selection to make any Christmas very merry indeed.
We’ve made a film of each one – available to watch on our instagram now. And we’ve still a couple left to share, so make sure you’re following us for all of our Brand Managers’ festive tips.
