Cheese and wine are an ever-popular pairing, and for good reason. This hamper stars one of Wales’ finest wines, Montgomery Vineyard’s Rondo. This rich and fruity red from the rolling hills of Powys boasts aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, with beautifully smooth tannins. We’ve paired the Rondo with four sophisticated cheeses that we think compliment it perfectly. The rind-washed Golden Cenarth from Carmarthenshire, the mature Caws Teifi and Smoked Caerffili from Ceredigion and the gorgeously creamy Mon Las blue from Anglesey. We’ve also included two of our favourite Welsh chutneys for good measure.
This fantastic selection of award-winning products is beautifully presented in a 16 inch wicker hamper.

Welsh Wine and Cheese Connoisseur’s Hamper Contents:
- Montgomery Vineyard - Rondo 750ml
Montgomery's full-bodied Rondo is without doubt one of the best red wines made in Wales. It boasts rich blackberry, plum and cherry aromas, and an almost spicy finish. And it's perfect with cheese!
- Golden Cenarth 200g
This organic rind-washed soft cheese from Caws Cenarth has a string of awards to its name, including Supreme Champion and Best British Semi-Soft Cheese from the British Cheese Awards. It is deliciously oozy and gloriously pungent.
- Teifi Mature 180g
Teifi Mature is based on the Teifi's signature Gouda-style cheese but aged for between 6-12 months. The maturity gives it a stronger flavour than the Natural and intensifies the complexity of the raw milk giving the cheese a more dense, almost Comte-esque texture and taste.
- Mon Las 200g
Mon Las is a creamy blue cheese made by Menai Jones of Caws Rhyd y Delyn on Anglesey. The cheese is made on the farm just metres away from where the cows are milked.
- Smoked Caerffili 180g
This traditional Caerphilly from Caws Teifi is cold-smoked over Welsh oak at the Black Mountains Smokery in Crickhowell. The Caerphilly retains its crumbly texture and smooth taste but takes on a additional deep smokiness that works perfectly.
- Calon Lan Spicy Tomato Chutney 311g
A rich tomato based chutney, made by hand in Pwllheli on the Llyn Peninsula.
- Snowdonia Rhubarb and Gin Chutney 114g
A sweet, fruity chutney with a hint of London dry gin.
*Some cheese or other food items in our selections will occasionally be out of season or out of stock. When this is the case we will replace them with something as similar as possible.
Our Welsh Wine and Cheese Connoisseur’s Hamper is presented in an attractive 16 inch wicker hamper. The cheese is wrapped in a biodegradable wool sheet to keep it cool and safe in transit, and all glass contents are protected by a recyclable cardboard sleeve.
The hamper comes with tasting notes to tell the recipient all about the wine and cheese contents.
