Lovely dry, smooth, full bodied Red from Spain.
Excellent write-up from Elixir Wines:
Super lunch to celebrate John’s Birthday with David
As well as the ‘Droplets’ we also enjoyed La Reserve de Leoville Barton 2016 recommended by Stephane.
perfectly crisp refreshment with lunch on a summer’s day.
Elegant Rose @ just €10 from Dunnes
A Grenache-Syrah blend, pale straw pink, fresh raspberries with crisp citrus tongue.

An acceptable white wine blend from Spain, more Tang than Zing but not bad for the price – part of a M&S meal deal offering.
This was a reasonable Sauvignon in terms of both product quality and price @ €10 from Tesco.
Designed to assault your senses in the first couple of approaches, taste and nose – like most NZ wines it delivers dry tropical zingy punch with a tart finish.
Too many approaches guarantees severe heartburn from high acidity.
This is a Tesco own label – a JV with Indevin. The Telegraph pointed out some time ago that Wairau Cove doesn’t exist.
Nor is it likely all the grapes come from Marlborough.
