Read on for our Wine Shop Specialists top picks to fall in love with.
Harvey Nichols Napa Cabernet Sauvignon -HN Exclusive £28
If steak is on your menu this Valentine’s, this should be your go-to bottle: made at legendary California winery Joseph Phelps Vineyards, it’s a romantic affair with notes of crème de cassis, blackberries, red cherry, savoury spice and indulgent dark chocolate.
Lost In A Field, Frolic Pet Nat, £33
Valentine’s Day calls for bubbles, and we like them pink at this time of year. Frolic by Lost in a Field is a staff favourite. Fun, funky and a little bit different, with notes of citrus, rhubarb, kumquat and satsuma on a foamy palate. According to Wine Critic extraordinaire Jancis Robinson, its “like drinking Opal Fruits washed down with Fanta".
Cap Maritime Chardonnay, £42
A wine we are all in love with, and perfect to accompany a shellfish dinner for two. If its scallops or lobster this February 14th, this big buttery Chardonnay is the perfect partner. Tropical fruits, coconut, pineapple and lemongrass with freshly baked bread on a bold, rich palate, this is a touch of luxury.
Malfy x Missoni -Harvey Nichols Exclusive, £63
A beautiful gift on the theme of all things pink, this limited-edition release was inspired by the golden hour of sunset along the Italian coast. Styled with the iconic Missoni zig zag print, and pouring the classic Italian flavours of Malfy Gin Rosa, made with pink grapefruit, this makes for an elegant gift for La Dolce Vita lover in your life.
Alabat Armagnac -Harvey Nichols Exclusive, £100
Sophisticated, stylish and exclusive, this is the Valentine’s Day gift he’s been hoping for: Single Barrel Armagnac that has spent over 23 years in French oak, resulting in smooth and indulgent notes of pastry, vanilla and raisins, rich candied fruit, powerful caramelised tarte tatin and a hint of smoke on the finish.
