Standout Mother’s Day Bottles at Hackstons
Gaja Barbaresco 2020
Leading the collection is Gaja Barbaresco 2020 (£225), a benchmark wine from the historic Gaja estate in Piedmont.
The wine offers layered aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and dried rose petal with subtle hints of spice and earth. On the palate it is structured and elegant, with fine tannins and a long savoury finish. Wilson describes it as a “significant bottle” perfect for a celebratory occasion or for ageing and enjoying years down the line.
Drappier Rosé de Saignée NV
For a celebratory toast, Drappier Rosé de Saignée NV (£48.60) delivers vibrant notes of raspberry, redcurrant and citrus peel with fine bubbles and a crisp finish.
Produced by the renowned Champagne house Champagne Drappier in Champagne, this rosé is ideal as an aperitif before lunch or paired with lighter dishes and desserts during a Mother’s Day gathering.
Seventy One Gin
Gin lovers can opt for Seventy One Gin (from £63 for 200ml, £165 for 700ml), a modern luxury spirit crafted around classic juniper with layers of citrus and delicate floral notes.
Smooth, balanced and elegant, the gin works beautifully in a well-made Martini or served with premium tonic and fresh citrus for a refined celebratory drink.
Daftmill 2011 Winter Batch
Whisky enthusiasts may appreciate the rare Daftmill 2011 Winter Batch (£103.50), a limited Lowlands single malt from the farm distillery Daftmill Distillery.
The whisky reveals honeyed malt, orchard fruit and vanilla cream, followed by baked apple, gentle spice and shortbread notes on the palate. With its rarity and small-batch craftsmanship, it offers a distinctive gift for Scotch lovers.
Ridge Estate Chardonnay 2023
Completing the line-up is Ridge Estate Chardonnay 2023 (£73.50) from Ridge Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The Chardonnay displays lemon zest, butter and white peach flavours layered with subtle oak, balanced by fresh acidity and a mineral finish. It’s a versatile food-friendly wine that pairs well with roast chicken, seafood or spring vegetables.
