£61.39
Treat your loved ones or friends to an award-winning combination of aromatic Gewürztraminer Riserva wine paired with a box of Highland Chocolatier Velvet Truffles® (RRP £33.95).
The white wine’s enticing aromas of grapefruit peel, candied orange and honey are emphasised by the truffle selection, which includes notes of zingy lime, chilli spice and smooth caramel to create the perfect match.
Both the wine, made by Kurtatsch, and the artisan truffles, crafted by Iain Burnett, are award-winning. Iain has curated certain Velvet Truffles® to accentuate the different textures and flavours which often go unnoticed in this exceptional Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Riserva wine.
Each Velvet Truffle® is delicately covered in a paper-thin layer of chocolate before being decorated with colourful and intricate cocoa butter designs. The chocolates have won 40 prestigious awards including the Academy of Chocolate Awards Gold and the Great Taste Awards Triple Gold.
Kurtatsch Brenntal Gewurztraminer Riserva, Alto Adige DOC. Packed with flavours of grapefruit peel, panettone, candied orange and honey, this aromatic Gewürztraminer tastes like an Italian holiday in a glass.
White Lime & hint of Chilli Velvet Truffle
Tangy lime crushed over white chocolate with a hint of chili
Crushed limes are balanced in a fresh white ganache with a zesty spice to highlight the refreshing notes of grapefruit in this full bodied off-dry wine with the same touch of sweetness.
Milk Velvet Truffle
Famously silky truffle of fresh Scottish cream and rich chocolate.
Increases the sweetness of the wine, underlines smoothness and brings out the honey
Lemongrass & hint of Lime Velvet Praline
With a hint of lime for a surprisingly citrus experience
Matches the grapefruit, but brings out the more subtle vanilla panettone, almonds and apricot stone
Pure Caramel Velvet Truffle
Pure Caramelized Ganache in caramel noted milk chocolate
This plays on the honey and fruit notes of the wine to create a delicious fruit caramel

Jemma –
I was lucky enough to try this gift set and it’s absolutely out of this world. Both products are excellent on their own, but together they become even more special. Gewurtztraminer is one of my favourite wines and this particular expression is just lovely with a subtle sweetness and lots of spicy fruit flavours. The chocolates are all delicious, too: the Lemongrass & hint of Lime Velvet Praline was my favourite, as it reminded me of being on holiday in Thailand. They all complemented the wine wonderfully. Finally, the presentation was very impressive. The wine was beautifully wrapped in black tissue paper and the truffles came in a heavy-duty magnetic box.
