Spring has officially arrived when Easter celebrations begin – the return of warmer days and blooming flowers, and a wonderful time of year to celebrate with all things rich and over indulgent.
A time to treat yourselves with opening something special, traditional or a little different – We have chosen four stand out bottles for you to enjoy this Easter.
Lavradores de Feitoria Tinto – Now £15.99 (down from £17.99)
Lavradores de Feitoria Tinto from Portugal’s Douro Valley fits the bill beautifully. A vibrant fresh and fruit forward expression of a red from the Douro. Smooth and elegant with velvety tannins that work so well with Lamb.
Martinez Lacuesta Cuvée Crianza – £18.99
The centrepiece for many tables on Easter Sunday is Roast lamb, For that, you want a wine with enough structure to handle the richness, but still fresh enough to keep things lively.
Martinez Lacuesta Cuvée Crianza is a classic Rioja with a modern polish: red cherry fruit, gentle oak, and a savoury edge that makes it incredibly food-friendly. The soft tannins and subtle oak complement the roast flavours without overpowering the dish. It’s a crowd-pleaser that still feels special.
Uovo Cabernet Sauvignon / Touriga – £22 (Down from £24)
If you’re going all out this Easter—think rib of beef, slow-cooked shoulder of lamb, or even a mixed roast—this is your bottle. This wine blends the boldness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the aromatic intensity of Touriga Nacional. The result is rich, full-bodied, and deeply satisfying. Crafted in clay cement ovoid tanks resembling a giant concrete egg – perfectly fitting this Easter! Also a great gift option, with the attractive egg motive to personalise your own label.
