FESTIVE GIFT GUIDE 43
Discover the New Plumpton Estate Bacchus Reserve RRP £ 26
Produced with expert winemaking techniques and nurtured in the distinctive Sussex terroir, Plumpton Estate Bacchus Reserve is a refined English white wine that reflects the changing season. With its vibrant acidity and notes of dried apricots, honeysuckle and snowball melon, it delivers richness and depth, evoking the mellow golden tones of autumn.
This Bacchus Reserve is expressive enough to be enjoyed on its own but also makes a beautiful companion to autumnal dining. Pair it with roasted chicken, wild mushrooms, baked cod, or seasonal vegetable dishes such as butternut squash risotto. Its elegant finish and creamy palate make it a versatile choice for cosy evenings and festive gatherings.

PATRÓN El Alto 70c: £ 190 | 50ml mini bottle: £ 20
Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, like a fine whisky or cognac, PATRÓN El Alto is ideal for raising a toast to the festive season. Available in two sizes, PATRÓN El Alto 70c(£ 190.00) is perfect for Christmas parties and festive celebrations, while the 50ml mini bottle(£ 20.00) makes the perfect luxury stocking filler.
Presented in a bold azure bottle inspired by agave fields, PATRÓN El Alto is aged over four years in 11 unique barrels, including hybrid American and French oak, PATRON El Alto is handcrafted from 100 % Weber Blue Agave from Jalisco’ s highlands, blending Extra Añejo, Añejo, and Reposado for a smooth, naturally sweet profile with notes of figs, honey, and vanilla.
Alongside the Bacchus Reserve, Plumpton is also celebrating the award-winning Plumpton Estate Brut Rosé NV. While a summer favourite, this sparkling rosé also shines during autumn and the festive season. Its delicate pink hue and red berry character bring a sense of celebration to crisp autumn afternoons and seasonal feasts.
Made using the traditional method of blending Pinot Meunier and Pinot, and matured on lees in the bottle for at least two years, the Brut Rosé balances freshness with finesse. Expect dry, crisp acidity, subtle notes of white peach and strawberry, and a brioche-like roundness that complements both hearty and indulgent seasonal dishes. Pair with seafood, smoked salmon, roast duck, or desserts featuring autumn berries and dark chocolate.
