Christmas Must-Buys: Gary Barlow Wines are exceptional
Gary Barlow Wines has quickly become one of our absolute favourite discoveries — not just for the festive season, but for year-round enjoyment. If you’re looking for the ideal Christmas present, something that feels thoughtful, stylish and guaranteed to impress, this range delivers in every possible way. In fact, we genuinely believe every home should keep a bottle (or three!) in stock.
These wines look, smell and taste premium from the very first pour. The elegant presentation sets high expectations, and the experience easily surpasses them. Both the Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec have a depth and refinement that feel far beyond their price point. Quite honestly, they’re better than any supermarket wine we've tasted, and the value is nothing short of incredible.
And the numbers prove it:
- Gary Barlow Malbec is officially the No.1 Premium South African Red Wine in the latest Nielsen EPOS data.
- Gary Barlow Wines is now the No.2 premium South African brand in the entire UK market, with an extraordinary 212% year-on-year growth.
- And in August, the brand celebrated a major milestone: 15 million glasses poured since launch.

Sauvignon Blanc Tasting Notes
The Gary Barlow Sauvignon Blanc is bright, expressive and brilliantly balanced. Medium-bodied with crisp, zingy energy, it bursts with gooseberry and green pepper flavours, offering a long, satisfying finish. Night-harvested grapes and carefully protected aromatics make it feel genuinely crafted — a Sauvignon Blanc with character, freshness and purity.

Malbec Tasting Notes
The Malbec is rich, velvety and beautifully layered, with flavours of ripe cherry, plum and blackberry, rounded by elegant spice undertones. The smell is incredible! The careful early-morning harvest and meticulous fermentation give it a smooth, luxurious feel that easily competes with bottles twice the price.

Gary says:
"My most memorable evenings are spent with good friends and family. They are full of laughter and, of course, great wine.
My passion for wine has been developing over the years, having been introduced to the joys of wonderful and rare red wine nearly thirty years ago! I am lucky enough to have travelled the world and experience many different food and wine cultures, and these experiences formed the foundations of the wines I have created"
