Modern winemaking techniques mean that it’s not difficult to make highly fruitful and drinkable wines for less money than in the past (despite the effects of multiple duty increases and increased transport costs!) and undrinkable wines are a thing of the past – at their worst they are simply boring.
But there’s nothing boring about this carefully chosen selection which offers loads of very drinkable fruit for a great price – have a try and see what we mean.
The value for money mixed case offer for October is priced at £63, normal price £74.22, includes three bottles of each of the following four wines:
Il Meridione Catarrato 2011, Sicily
This wine has floral aromas with hints of almond and a tropical fruit and peachy finish. It is soft and gentle and a great wine to match with light food and salads.
Hutton Ridge Chenin Blanc 2011, South Africa
Fruity, very crisp and clean with hints of greengage and limes, this is a very refreshing wine that shows that modern made cold steel fermented Chenin Blanc grapes can produce highly drinkable wines in South Africa.
Finca del Rey Tempranillo 2010, Spain
In Valencia the Tempranillo grape produces a rich, raspberry scented wine that goes beautifully with barbecued meats in particular. It’s loaded with some plum and cherry characters too and has bright refreshing fruit.
Dry River Shiraz 2011, Australia
Notes of blueberries, fresh tobacco, white pepper and spice on the nose. Red berries and a silky texture integrate on the palate offering a firm and focused wine which is elegant rather than weighty, with a good clean finish.
