The Pale and Interesting Box

£35.00
We think of decadence as sultry and midnight, but these indulgent gifts come in the lightest of colours. The crispness of pale white wine. The vanilla softness of white chocolate with the surprising kick of green. There’s no need to follow a template. This is decadence done your way.

Our Future is the name of this South African Sauvignon Blanc, made by the Black-owned, female-owned Amandla winery. It’s a crisp, zesty wine, with notes of passion fruit, pineapple & lemon.

Accompanying the wine, but by no means lesser, is a bag of white chocolate shards from The Chocolate Detective. Their creamy vanilla sweetness is set off with the addition of fennel and cardamom and each bar is dusted with a light gold lustre.

So this is decadence, but it’s a new template.

We put a lot of thought into picking the right products for our collection of gift boxes, trying to strike the balance between good value for you and a luxurious treat for your gift recipient. 

We also love that that every item, in every box, is made by a company who are dedicated to changing the world for the better. 

The Amandla Winery is is entirely owned and run by black women. Although that’s sadly still a rarity, the women behind Amandla have created a showcase for their own expertise and knowledge. They also run a bursary scheme for the families of grape-farm workers, helping to finance education at all levels. 

The Chocolate Detective is the nom-du-chocolat of Chantal Cody. She’s an expert in her craft, but is also trying to make changes in the often-unethical chocolate industry. Chantal is committed to a transparent supply chain, choosing only ethical growers. She’s also committed to the beans she uses being processed in cocoa-growing countries, meaning more money stays in the economies of developing nations.
