Waud Wines - Members' Selection White 2021 - £13 per bottle
Our own labelled offering, made by Samuel Guibert at Mas de Daumas Gassac. Fresh, clean, crisp and very inviting. This is a crowd pleaser wine - very good value too.
Brunel de la Gardine - CDR Blanc 2022 - £14.50 per bottle
A gorgeous bottle from this famed estate in Chateauneuf du Pape. Aromas of peach, nectarine and citrus - with a smooth and delicate palate. Très bon!
Muga Blanco 2022 - £17.50 per bottle
From one of the most famous estates in Rioja - another crowd pleaser wine. A cultured white wine for the price point - subtle creamy texture with soft citrus notes. A great wine for aperitif, or with your Christmas Day starter.
Gérald Talmard – Mâcon-Uchizy 2022 - £18.50 per bottle
Our best selling white wine on the list - this is a super easy drinking Macon, at an incredibly price compared to the rest of Burgundy. Fruity, rounded on the palate with expressive citrus and floral aromas – an absolute delight from Burgundy’s Mâconnais region.
Louis Cheze - Viognier 2022 - £19.50 per bottle
Arguably the best value wine on our whole list - we absolutely love this wine from Northern Rhone. Light, clear gold in colour with aromas of apricot and pear. Subtle in the mouth, with a fresh white fruit taste.
Marc Bredif - Vouvray Classic 2022 - £24.50 per bottle
From the Loire Valley, this is one of the most famous houses in the region. A top wine indeed - tropical notes on the nose, fresh and balanced on the palate. An excellent food wine.
Poppies Pinot Gris 2022 - £29 per bottle
Sneaking this New World wine in, from Martinborough in New Zealand. Very much in the Alsace style - Poppies wine are incredibly elegant and feminine - great with spicy food and with a gorgeous bottle too!
Dom. Le Sang des Cailloux – Un Sang Blanc 2021 - £37 per bottle
Another Team Waud Wines favourite - this time from Southern Rhone in Vacqueyras. Very much like White Chateauneuf du Pape - grapes including Marsanne and Rousanne - this wine is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Hamilton Russell Chardonnay 2021 - £42 per bottle From South Africa, this is an elegant and textured wine from the Western Cape, with excellent minerality and personality. Enjoy the long beautiful aromas of pear and lime fruit. A real treat for the palate.
Pio Cesare – Piodilei Chardonnay 2019 - £50 per bottle
Saving the best until last - this is another excellent chardonnay, this time from Piedmonte in Northern Italy. Complexity on the nose and palate. Notes of apple, citrus, stone fruit and vanilla. It is full-bodied and creamy with ripe fruit and an attractive minerality and freshness on the finish. A great Christmas wine.
