1 x Sawyer Chardonnay 2022 - RRP £25.50
2 x Princess of Thieves GSM 2017 - RRP £23.50
1 x Oakdene Cabernets 2019- RRP £24.00
Start your Christmas Day with some vintage Mosquito Hill Blanc de Blancs fizz and scrambled eggs on toast, then enjoy a mid-morning nibble of some delicious finger food with a glass of light, bright Sawyer Pinot Gris whilst you prep the lunch and open up some well deserved pressies. Start the big lunch with a delicious starter of grilled prawns, or a haloumi and fig salad or even a bit of ham hock with a glass of our epic and immensely popular 2021 Sawyer chardonnay. Burgundian in style and full of buttery goodness.
Then carve the turkey and sit down for the main event with a glass of our RedHead 2017 Princess of Thieves. Its our Rhone style GSM which is so smooth and versatile, it will go with anything roast you serve. With 6 years of age on it, it's got so much depth of flavor to it and far outshines its price point. After arguing over who’s doing the washing up and watching His Maj, settle down in the evening to the 17th sitting of Love Actually, break out the Cheeses and open up the 2019 Oakdene Bernard’s Cabernet from our newest recruit, the award winning Oakdene Vineyards - wines that are as much fun as Steve and his glorious family.
12 bottles for £295

There’s very little I love more than Christmas morning with excitement, smoked salmon & poached eggs on toast, pastries and a glass of fizz (or a mimosa) for which our Fabulous House of Arras Brut Elite is award winning, dry, crisp perfection. Mid morning means the annual grandkids V grandpops sausage roll competition, along with a few glasses of (Coopers) lager. Then it’s time for the main event, sitting down with our gorgeous buttery Burgundian style Sawyer Chardonnay and a starter of prawn cocktail because if it isn’t broken then don’t try to fix it.
Turkey and all the trimmings goes perfectly with a smooth but deep red, of which our best selling 2021 Sawyer Shiraz is frankly THE perfect tipple. A huge hit this year with sommeliers, it's a perfect pick for Christmas this year.
Later as you sit down to explain the rules of Cards Against Humanity to Gran, serve up the pork pies and ham sarnies along with the Common Molly Grenache. A wine made from 65 year old vines but with a stunning lightness of fruit that will be a perfect crowd pleaser. The only question is whether 2 bottles will be enough?
Boxing day is simple – by the time you awake, have had a good long walk and put the rib of beef in the oven. Retire to the couch and watch Die Hard (again) and then serve with the best vintage Pinot Noir that we have found in Australia. With 14 years of age on it, 2021 Mosquito Hill Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is just a glorious wine to go with a glorious bit of steak and to wind down the Christmas celebrations!

Kick off Christmas Day breakfast with the award-winning sparkling wine from the best fizz maker on the planet. Whether paired with smoked salmon for breakfast or sipped solo, its the perfect start. Then dive right into lunch; elevate your starters—think oysters or crab—with a buttery, Burgundian-style Chardonnay that brings richness and finesse. It’s versatile enough to pair beautifully with a roast chicken, but it truly shines as a sophisticated kickoff to your Christmas meal.
For the main event, pour the Auld Family Wines William Patrick Shiraz, a wine destined for iconic status. Made from fruit so exceptional far more storied rivals would love to get their hands on it, this Shiraz is the perfect partner for roast turkey. With a finish as smooth as Morgan Freeman’s voice, it’s a genuine A list wine.
As the evening unfolds, indulge in a glass of our glorious, aged, Burgundy-like Pinot Noir—a Bartram house favorite for all special occasions. Whether paired with steak, roast beef, or a gooey Epoisses cheese by the fire, this elegant Pinot remains our needle in a haystack find!
Finally, close out the celebrations with our best Whip Hand Cabernet from Redhead Wines. With smooth tannins, deep fruit notes, and a refined Californian Cab Sav style, it’s an exceptional drop at a far more reasonable price point. It’s the perfect finish to what promises to be a very special few days.

Not a fan of turkey? Overloaded on trimmings as the holidays approach? Or maybe you just want to bring a touch of Scotts of Mayfairsophistication to your Christmas table. We hear you!
For many, Christmas Day in Australia is synonymous with seafood—blue swimmer crabs, prawns, barramundi, oysters, and more. And let’s face it: seafood isn’t just delicious; it’s the perfect alternative when you want something lighter and fresher to balance out the festive indulgence.
Last year, I spent my first Christmas on the beach, and this year, I’ll be revisiting the joy of a seafood spread. Fresh seafood will be the star of the menu—it’s simply brilliant and offers endless possibilities for pairing with wine. But here’s the thing: people often struggle to find the right wines for fish. Fear not, because we’re here to put some serious zing into your Fish-mas Day!
We kick off with some award winning fizz, extra dry from Tasmania kicks off any day brilliantly, or finishes it pretty well if you’re going for New Years fizz! The extra dry crispness of this fizz will work wonders with your smoked salmon to start the day!
Oysters, Grilled Prawns or slip soles in caper butter - all could not be more perfect with our Penna Lane Riesling, not just the best Riesling at the recent Clare Valley awards, but the best wine in AUSTRALIA.
We've also included the gorgeous 95 point scoring Auld Family Wilberforce Riesling from 2021. We don't have much of this left, but the extra age means it will also take some spice just perfectly - so if you have asian flavours on your fish dishes then again reach for the AFW Wilberforce.
For richer dishes, our gorgeous, Puligny style Sawyer Chardonnay is a perfect match for white fish or, even better, maybe you got persuaded by Rick Stein on More 4 to grill a buttery Lobster or some wonderful Devon! What a match.
Or maybe you fancied something a bit exotic and someone bought you the J Sheekey Cookbook so have dived into one of my favourite dishes - monkfish curry! A thing of real beauty, but totally calling for a bottle of a lighter, slightly fruitier red that will let the fish do the talking and enhance the spice… and for that our new Sawyer Sangiovese is the go to wine!
