Selenium XPATH looking for a keyword inside of a Href that is inside of a class

Question

I am struggling to click the first href that matches a keyword. There is at least 2 hrefs that match a keyword im using so selenium fails at clicking the element. I have tried to nominate the class and look inside that class for the Href but the syntax is incorrect. I currently have this code in a try block as it refreshes if the href is not found and tries again.

see below:

<div class="productitem--info">
  <span class="productitem--vendor">
          GlenWyvis</span>
          <h2 class="productitem--title">
        <a href="/collections/new-whisky-arrivals/products/glenwyvis-batch-20-18-2018-vintage-2nd-release" data-product-page-link="">
          GlenWyvis Batch 02/18 | 2nd Release
        </a>
      </h2>

The Python try block I have is below:

while True:
    try:
        element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='productitem--title'] and contains(.@href, 'glenwyvis')]")
        element.click()
        break
    except NoSuchElementException:
        driver.refresh()
        time.sleep(3)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

With minimal modifications, you could use

element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='productitem--title' and contains(a/@href, 'glenwyvis')]")

This returns the <h2> element with the desired properties.
