Is the so-called credit crunch finally showing some signs of fading slightly? With house prices up for the first time in ages and the hope of a good summer on the way perhaps the economy may just be beginning to turn slightly.
Certainly it pays to be optimistic, otherwise we’d all be sitting at home forever hanging on to our money for dear life. Whatever happens, here is a great value-for-money mixed case that won’t break the bank and will give you good quality wines at a great price.
The Great Value Mixed case includes three bottles of each of the following four wines:
Matra Hill Pinot Grigio 2007, Hungary
This massively popular wine comes from the Matra Foothills in the Northern Massif of Hungary and is fuller in body than many Italian Pinot Grigios whilst still retaining delicious textbook flavours of apricot, pear and almond. Great on its own or with lighter dishes and salads.
l’Attitude Rosé 2008, France
Ultra fresh rosé from Gascony with flavours of raspberry and fruit salad – refreshing and delicious. Ideal with charcuterie or as an aperitif.
Borsao Garnacha 2007, Spain
Just south east of Rioja and Navarra lies the up and coming wine area of Campo de Borja which is producing great value-for-money wines at the moment. This one is predominately made from Garnacha with a little tempranillo and cabernet sauvignon to add complexity. The result is a delightfully fruity and spicy wine.
Hutton Ridge Shiraz/Cinsault 2008, South Africa
Excellent modern made wine from selected vineyards in the heart of the Swartland region which offers an array of ripe juicy berry fruit and a long smooth finish. Great with meats, pasta or cheese.
