A Chardonnay vine for Christmas? Now that's a gift worth raising a glass to!

Forget another bottle of Chardonnay under the Christmas tree. This year, why not give someone the chance to grow their own?

Chardonnay is one of the world's best-loved white wine grapes, famous for producing everything from crisp, elegant dry whites to rich, beautifully rounded wines. It is also one of the classic grapes used to produce Champagne.

Now, with Mr Middleton's exclusive Vino Collection, you can bring a little of Burgundy's famous vineyards into your own Irish garden.

A Beautifully Presented Christmas Gift

Our Chardonnay grape vine is part of The Green Gift Collection, presented in its own charming wooden wine crate.

The wooden crate features a traditional vineyard illustration and the Chardonnay name, while the attractive wine-themed plant label completes the presentation.

It's a gift that looks every bit as special as the wine it might one day produce!

Perfect for the Chardonnay lover, keen gardener or anyone who has ever dreamed of owning a little vineyard.

And best of all, this exclusive Vino Collection is available in Ireland only from Mr Middleton Garden Shop.
