When we embark on curating the Gift Guide for Father’s Day, there’s always a few things we look for specifically. Quirky gifts, classic gifts and also gifts with a sustainable angle. Many things have changed over the past year for the better and one of those is our attention to sustainable brands, products and gifts. We’re very happy to be including a pioneering bottle of gin from ‘Silent Pool’ in this gift guide that is the first gin in the world to be packaged in a paper bottle among other brands who are focusing on their eco-friendly activities too. There’s something for everyone in this guide and we think you’re going to love it.

Gift-wrapped Italian wines from Independent Wines (Nebbiolo & Primitivo)

It takes a lot to beat a really decent bottle of red wine when it comes to gifting. But two of our favourites, available from Independent wines would have to be Nebbiolo & Primitivo. The “Demarie Nebbiolo Langhe DOC 2019” from IW is perfect for those who love a tannic wine. Described as a powerful, young wine that shows the full strength of the grape along with it’s delightful elegance and complex flavour. The wine is dry, with medium acidity, and it’s supercharged with mighty young tannins. In the mouth, it offers the taste of mulberries, strawberries and wild rose with a delightfully long finish. The “Feudi di Guagnano | Diecianni Primitivo (Zinfandel) 2018″  offers powerful notes of prunes, fresh blackberries, cinnamon, vanilla and dark chocolate. This wine has lots of richness and complexity and offers an outstanding value for money. In the mouth, the wine is dry, with a medium level of alcohol and soft, velvety tannins. Diecianni leaves a lingering aroma of sweet pipe tobacco and spices in the glass. Order for your Father and you can opt for gift-wrapping and also next day delivery, at the Independent Wines website here.

Oxford Artisan Distillery Vodka

This snazzy wax-dipped bottle of Vodka is the Oxford Rye Organic Vodka. A double-gold medal winning spirit from the heart of ‘the city of dreaming spires’. Distilled in two magnificent, steampunk-esque, stills called ‘Nautilus’ and ‘Nemo’, it’s the debut vodka from The Oxford Artisan Distillery – itself the city’s first-ever distillery. An exceptionally smooth and creamy spirit, the vodka is filtered, unusually, through coconut shell charcoal and is described as having ‘subtle hints of spice and warm caramel’. Oxford Artisan Distillery is one of Britain’s very few ‘grain-to-glass’ distilleries (those who grow and distil their own grain, as opposed to buying in neutral spirit). It’s also unique in being the only one in Britain to use ancient heritage grains that had commonly been used until the late 19th century. No pesticides or herbicides are used and the distillery’s farmers embrace ancient, gentler, methods of land management – such as using clover to suppress weeds and sequester carbon, while avoiding the destructive effect of ploughing a field*. By working naturally with the land and soil, biodiversity is massively boosted, contributing to an abundance of wildflowers, insects and birds across all the fields. The Oxford Rye Organic Vodka is available for £34.95 here.
