A Very Humble Christmas
The Holiday season at Humble Grape isn’t just about turkey and tinsel—it’s about making moments magical, one sip of wine at a time. Whether you’re hosting a grand feast, searching for the perfect wine gift, or simply craving a cosy glass, we’ve got you covered this festive season. Here’s your guide to making Christmas unforgettable with a little help from our wine experts.
The Festive Table: Perfect Pairings
A beautifully roasted turkey deserves an equally stellar companion. Opt for a light and fruity Pinot Noir, like Joyce Pinot Noir 'Submarine Canyon', with its cranberry and cherry notes, or a full-bodied Chardonnay such as Bartinney Chardonnay, which complements the rich, buttery flavours of Christmas dinner.
If your holiday feast leans vegetarian or seafood, a zesty Riesling or a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc is a winning choice. And don’t forget sparkling wine—it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser for starters and nibbles. The Philippe Gonet Brut Reserve NV is pure Christmas in a glass.
Raise a Glass of Bubbly
Nothing says celebration quite like Champagne or Prosecco. Whether it’s a toast to the season or an elegant gift, our selection of bubbles will have you sparkling all season long. And don’t sleep on Cap Classique—South Africa’s answer to Champagne, bursting with personality and charm.
The Ultimate Gift Guide
Finding the perfect Christmas gift can be a challenge, but wine is a universal love language. From festive wine hampers to gift vouchers for unforgettable tasting experiences, we’ve got something for everyone on your list. Shopping for a wine aficionado? Look for a bottle of natural wine or a rare vintage like Château Cordet 2020, AOC Margaux for that wow factor.
For the Sweet Tooth
A festive feast wouldn’t be complete without a touch of sweetness. Port wine pairs beautifully with Christmas desserts like mince pies or chocolate yule logs. For something a little lighter, a sweet red wine or an aromatic Grenache wine can balance rich desserts while keeping the mood merry.
