Win a case of Catena Cabernet Franc and a £100 meat voucher from Swaledale Butchers

Win a case of Catena Cabernet Franc and a £100 meat voucher from Swaledale Butchers

Sponsored feature: Having taken the decision earlier this year to cut back on the number of competitions we ran on the site* it’s been a while since we had one but I’m happy to say we have a cracker for you this month.

The prize - actually there are two prizes - is a case of cabernet franc wine from top Argentinian producer Catena Zapata and a £100 voucher from Swaledale Butchers in Yorkshire to spend on some delicious meat to accompany it.

Cabernet franc, which is one of the key grape varieties in red Bordeaux, is not as well known as malbec but makes similarly rich, lush reds.

The six bottle case includes 3 bottles of the DV Catena Cabernet Franc Tinto Historico 2020, 2 bottles of the Catena San Carlos Cabernet Franc 2019 and one bottle of the fabulous Nicolas Catena Zapata 2019, a Bordeaux blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec and 28% Cabernet Franc which sells for over £75. So pretty special. (Save that last bottle for a special occasion - it’ll keep for a good few years but the other wines will make great weekend drinking to share with friends.

I felt you’d probably want to team it with some great meat so managed to persuade an online butcher I really rate called Swaledale to add a £100 voucher to the prize.

Jacobs Ladder beef ribs

You can use it to buy individual cuts such as this leg of pork roast which would make a great alternative to the Christmas turkey, experiment with less usual cuts such as their Jacob’s Ladder beef ribs and beef ossobuco or one of their meat boxes. (We can’t guarantee you’ll get it before Christmas, depending on what you order, but it would make a fabulous new year’s treat.)

Win a fabulous meat hamper from award-winning butcher Peter Hannan

Win a fabulous meat hamper from award-winning butcher Peter Hannan

Easter, like Christmas, is an occasion to feast with family and friends so we couldn’t mark it with a better prize than this fabulous meat box from prize-winning butcher Peter Hannan of Hannan Meats. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.

Pete’s revolutionary method of ageing meat in a Himalayan salt chamber gives it an incredible depth of flavour and has won him many medals including Supreme Champion at the Guild of Fine Foods Great Taste Awards for his Glenarm Shorthorn beef. Last year he was given BBC Food & Farming’s prestigious Derek Cooper award - a well-deserved accolade for a lovely guy who does an immense amount to promote the Northern Irish food scene, not just his own business. (You can follow him on instagram @meatpeter)

The hamper will include

A sugar-pit bacon rack (I can vouch that this is insanely good)

A new season Himalayan-aged leg of lamb

A new season Himalayan-aged lamb striploin

1 kg Glenarm shorthorn Porterhouse steaks

1 kg Glenarm Shorthorn Cote de Boeuf sharing steak

Dripping (for those roasties)

and gorgeous Abernethy butter.

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Tuesday April 30th 2019 (so, just to be clear, the winner will receive their prize in May) and you must be 18 or over and live in the UK (or Ireland on this occasion) to enter. For other terms and conditions see below.

Win a bumper box of lamb and a butchery class from Turner and George

Win a bumper box of lamb and a butchery class from Turner and George

Our prize this month couldn't be better for our lucky winner - a whole box of lamb joints to enjoy over the Easter break.

It includes a whole lamb shoulder, a whole leg of lamb, and two whole french trimmed racks of lamb PLUS a lamb butchery class from our friends Islington butchers Turner & George with whom we’ve collaborated before. (The lamb class will take place on 19th April from 7.30-9pm so it obviously makes sense to check if you’re free before you go in for the comp!)

As you may remember Turner & George specialise in naturally reared meat from native, traditional breeds, dry-aged on the bone and cut and wrapped to order. There are times I wish I lived in Islington …

Anyway all you have to do to enter the competition is register on the site (and subscribe, if you like, to our free newsletter).

The closing date for the competition is 11.59pm GMT on Friday March 31st 2017 and you must live on the mainland UK to enter. For other terms and conditions see below.
