Post subject:  TESCO NEW WORLD WHITES - MAY 2012

Finest* Denman Semillon 2011
9.99
Typical waxy nose. The flavour is right, and it's savoury, almost salty. I think the price is a little steep, but it's often on offer.

Rustenberg Sauvignon Chardonnay Semillon 2011
9.99
Nothing particularly aromatic. A little floral, nicely tangy.  However, this is a £6 wine.

McGuigan Classic Semillon Blanc 2011
7.99
Little aroma. Savoury and pleasant taste and the price is about right.

Finest* Boranup Sauvignon Semillon 2011
9.99
Reduced - silver polish aroma. Unfortunately, it doesn't recover in the mouth. Astringent and sour tasting.

Finest* Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011
7.99
Lovely sweet Marlborough sauvignon nose. Juicy, fruity and bright. Lovely wine.

Ara Pathway Sauvignon Blanc 2011
8.99
Light gooseberry on the nose. Bright, lemony acidity.  Tangy and dry. A little more serious than the Finest.

Firefinch Sauvignon Blanc 2011
8.99
Ripe, floral and exciting nose. A slight spritz and sweetish with a pithy aftertaste.

Cono Sur 20 Barrels Sauvignon Blanc 2010
13.99
Ridiculously heavy bottle. Very attractive aroma.  Complex, ripe and inviting. Rich and weighty. A great big lovely sauvignon. Mmmm. The aftertaste is of peapods.

Finest* Tingleup Riesling 2011
9.99
Not overtly riesling on the nose - almost like semillon. Lovely savoury taste. Again, blind, I'd have said this was semillon.  Not a pair of grapes I often mix up.

Finest* Swartland Chenin Blanc 2011
6.99
Creamy aroma. Just bordering on off-dry. Persistent taste. Pleasant.

Finest* Marlborough Chardonnay 2010
9.99
A hint of creamy oak on the nose. Rich and pretty woody. The wood flavour lasts well.

Marques de Casa Concha Chardonnay 2009
11.99
Deep golden colour. Rich, fat and oaky nose. The flavour is oaky as well. Too much for me.

Emiliana O Viognier 2011
7.99
Not much aroma. Pretty rich and sweet.  Nice balance.  Viognier can be hot and over-fat, but this is good.

Bellingham Bernard Series Grenache Blanc Viognier 2011
10.99
Not a lot on the nose. A touch of spritz and savoury, almost salty, flavour.  Nice.
