KWV Reserve Shiraz 2004

What a fantastic wine.. smooth and easy drinking. This wine has a richness to it. This is full bodied red wine and has a spicy, pepper nose, followed by ripe plum,smoky leather and intriguing oak enhanched flavours.

This wine can be enjoyed on its own or with red meats and richly flavoured dishes.

This wine has matured with age and it is an absolutely fantastic wine.

The Ladybird Laibach 2007

What an absolute fantastic wine. It is a blend of

ladybird-2007

Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Viognier. It is such a great drinking wine, smooth and easy drinking. This wine is made to go with food!

This wine is sold for R71.50 in South Africa and is an expensive wine, but well worth it.

This is an organic white wine and is the wineseller’s first attempt to it and there was no yeast used in the wine making process. The wine is stored in wooden barrels that get rolled through the malolactic fermentation for a period of seven months. The Chenin Blanc gets added just prior to bottling.

The wine is medium bodied with a good refreshing colour. This is the best white wine I have had so far.

Yellow Tail Shiraz

yellowtailshirazThis wine is a nice every day drinker. It is a safe bet if you are not sure of peoples tastes as it is very light on tannin and so easy to drink. It has a very fruity taste and has a rich aroma and hint of vanilla.

I would get this wine if it was on offer or if I was having people round for a BBQ. It’s not going to knock anybody’s socks off but is pleasant enough.

Villiera - Rhine Riesling 2007

rhine_riesling_bottle

It is a really refreshing wine, an off dry unwooded wine made in South Africa and available at R45.50 a bottle. It can be ordered in the UK from the following link: HERE

It is a lime refreshing wine, overlayed with honey and melon flavours that will increase with bottled age. It is best served with seafood but is very suitable with lightly curried and spicy dishes.

This is a great wine, and I will be putting it on my list of wines to buy again.

Gallo White Grenache Rose - £3.43 at Sainsburys

Spotted this on one of the price comparison sites. This is an in-store deal I believe. There are a few good deals at the moment but this one strikes me as particularly good, especially for BBQ season (if we ever get the weather back!). It always used to be more expensive than the equivalent zinfandel but now apparently it’s cheaper.

Cecchi Chianti 2006

cecchi chianti 2006I bought a bottle Cecchi wine a few years ago and I enjoyed it. When I was in ASDA the other day I noticed this interesting bottle of Chianti and thought I would try it.

First impression of this wine is it punches well above its weight. I do enjoy a good Italian wine and this is no exception. It is smooth, easy to drink, but had that full bodied richness associated with Italian reds.

On a side note, the basket it is presented in catches the drips very well… bonus!
