A bottle of Rowlands Brook Shiraz sets the tone for an abundant savoury selection, bringing together four characterful cheddars for relaxed Christmas entertaining with friends. Caramelised onion, smoked and vintage cheeses sit beside Worcester sauce and shallot cheddar, with two kinds of crisp biscuits ready for pairing throughout the evening. Dry-roasted peanuts, chilli rice crackers and a richly spiced tomato and onion chutney complete a generous spread for sharing over drinks or lingering after dinner in the festive season. Packed in a wooden slatted tray.
