This came highly recommended and I thought it a pleasant enough blend with enough Sauvignon to fess up a refreshing fresh and fruity edge on a warm day.
Côtes de Gascogne
La Croisade, Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, 2011, Unoaked, Cotes de Gascogne
This is a Superquinn Special and I liked the fact that this was unoaked.
Citrusy – but not tropical – notes.
Other reviewers have described this as a Kiwi Style Sauvignon.
Not so, a bit too fruity and flabby for my own taste Crusade. Though good value on sale as a drinks party wine.
Cotes de Gascogne, Colombard-Ugni Blanc, 2012, Domaine D’Uby
We first met this in Cellarmaster through Alan’s recommendation.
Very refreshing, rounded pallette with not too tart grapefruit tropical citrus.
Good everyday drinking.
