  Fortnum's Côtes du Rhône, Andre Brunel Bottle

  Catalogue Code:2004240

  • André Brunel is most famous for his premium, highly sought-after Châteauneuf du Pape, Les Cailloux. However, as with many top properties, he has transferred his wine-making skills in to producing an excellent entry level wine as well with his Côtes du Rhône which we have bottled under our own label. It is rich, fruity and peppery and is made to be drunk early but will age for 4-5 years. Wishing to capture the full pleasures of his vineyard, Brunel bottles this wine without fining or filtration.

  Fortnum Pickle, 295g Jar

  Catalogue Code:2000356

  • Sweet carrots, peppery celery, swede, turnip, celeriac, tamarind, ginger and dark molasses sugar combine to produce a not-too-sweet pickle with lots of depth and versatility. Beneath the subtle bite, one can actually taste each ingredient, turning a Ploughman's Lunch into more of a Squire's Luncheon. It is the pickle to have on your cheeseboard, as it really does go with everything. We would even go so far as to suggest cooking it into your mince the next time you make cottage or shepherd’s pie.

  Sir Nigel's Vintage Orange Marmalade

  Catalogue Code:2003686

  • This classic vintage marmalade was made by Fortnum’s in the 1920s for actor-manager Sir Nigel Playfair, who asked for a bitter, thick-cut preserve for his toast. We met his request with this – a strong, substantial marmalade with a deep flavour and lots of chewy peel. The colour of dark marmalade is often achieved by cooking the sugar for longer; but we make it with two sorts of brown sugar instead, to give colour without overcooking. The result is a rich, citrussy, not-too-sweet flavour. A cheering sight on one’s breakfast table.

Made with just the right amount of pure cane sugar, this needs no further explanation – it’s strawberry jam at its best.
