With Mother's Day fast approaching, we've got a trio of tipples perfect for celebrating the number one woman in your life. After everything she's done for you over the years, the least she deserves is to put her feet up and enjoy a glass of something special on Sunday 27th March!
Even better, your gift is our gift. In honour of mums everywhere, we've knocked 10% off the price of a rather splendid Prosecco, an iconic Provence Rosé and a Welsh wonder-gin we think is the bee's knees.
The fizz
ADAMI VALDOBBIADENE DOCG PROSECCO SUPERIORE 'BOSCO DI GICA' NV (£18.90 on offer)
There's high-street Prosecco, then there's proper Prosecco. You know you've got the good stuff if the label features the word Valdobbiadene (try saying that after a couple of glasses...). And if it's made by Adami, it's pretty much the Prosecco pinnacle.
This is such a classy sparkler - dry and delicately aromatic but bursting with refreshing peach and apple fruitiness. It's a serious aperitivo wine that deserves maximum respect, but the creamy mousse makes it so much fun to drink. Mum will love it and love you for choosing it!
The rosé
DOMAINE MIRABEAU LA RESERVE 2020 (£22.95 on offer)
This is about as good as Provençal pink gets (don't take our word from it - that's the considered opinion of no less than Robert Parker). It's made by a British couple who followed their Year In Provence dreams in 2010 and are still going from strength to strength a decade later.
The colour is the first thing that stands out - it's rose gold and pings with life. In the glass it's complex, intriguing and exciting: wafts of apricot, camomile and flambéed bananas (!!) on the nose; juicy peaches, buttery brioche and zesty orange in the mouth.
Beyond the colour, this is a wine with a heart of gold. The producers care deeply about sustainable winegrowing and 50% of the profits of every bottle of La Réserve sold go to The Regenerative Viticulture Foundation. Great story to tell mum while she's unwrapping it.
The gin
POLLINATION GIN DYFI DISTILLERY 50CL (£33.25 on offer)
If your mother's a gin lover, she deserves the best, right? No problem: here's a gold medal winner from the World Gin Competition, made with wild Welsh botanicals in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
That last bit is important as it means our friend Danny, who makes Pollination Gin, has access to a unique selection of botanicals grown throughout the spring and summer. The result? A top-quality gin that tastes like no other on the planet.
It's memorably, pungently aromatic but never over the top - the balance in this drink is something else. If you're very very lucky and on your best behaviour, Mum might let you taste a drop.
