Six Of The Best

Sauvignon Blanc Vin de Pays du Val de Loire, Vignerons de Valencay, Loire 2021/22 75cl –
Very aromatic on the nose with notes of pineapple and apricot, highly quaffable alternative with many a Sancerre. It has a fragrant nettley character on the palate, along with a crisp acidity and a dry finish.

Pinot Grigio, Alpha Zeta, Italy 2021/22 75cl –
Bright straw yellow colour. Fresh, floral bouquet, reminiscent of acacia flower and an elegant style of wine that is fresh, dry and well-balanced on the palate. An ideal accompaniment for sea-food dishes, all pasta courses and a very pleasant aperitif.

Viognier, Leduc, S. France 2020/21 75cl –
Gavi was made famous by the Italian Riviera particularly in the 1960s; it has now become Piemonte’s most prestigious white wine. After you have tasted it you will not be surprised to discover that the producer is a regular medal winner. A delicious, lively and citrusy nose is matched with a fullness and rounded flavour on the lengthy palate.

Ramon Bilbao Crianza, Rioja, Spain 2018/19 75cl –
Lovely smooth young Rioja, with bright cranberry/cherry fruit, a violet aroma, and some creaminess on the finish.

Cotes du Rhone Rouge, Les Terres du Roy, Rhone 2021/22 75cl –
Spicy berried fruit with typical warm and savoury flavours from the South of France. Fruity, soft and easy drinking in style.

Malbec, Norton, Argentina 2021/22 75cl –
Rich dusky red in colour. Sweet and spacious aromas reminding of black pepper. Fruity on the palate, with sweet and harmonious tannins.
