Finest* Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011 £9.99 Highfield Estate Gooseberry fool aroma. Fruity, quite sweet and easy wine. 13% Finest* Argentinian Chardonnay 2011 £8.49 Catena Zapata Ripe, peachy nose, with a hint of oak. Oaky and typical. The price is pushing it. Not my sort of wine. 13.50% Finest* Swartland Chenin Blanc 2012 £6.99 Origin Wine Fruity aroma. Bright, pithy and refreshing palate. Good wine. 13.50% Finest* Olifants River Sauvignon Blanc 2012 £7.99 Accolade Wines This has a curiously smokey nose, with some fresh grass as well. Quite appealing. Tart and bright on the palate. Clean and refreshing. 12.50% Finest* Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc 2012 £9.99 Vergelegen Quite a reduced nose. Very match-boxy. Light and pleasant. Savoury, with some texture. Rather good apart from the nose, which would lift with a bit of decanting. 13.50% NZSB Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2012 £8.49 Sacred Hill Wines Nice peapoddy aroma. Hey, this is nice. Bright, gooseberry and a touch of asparagus, but green, fresh and moreish. 12.50% The Fair Mile Chardonnay Verdelho 2012 £7.49 Accolade Wines A bit confected and sweet on the nose. Sweet, with pineapple. Not my soft of wine at all. 12.50% Finest* ‘Tingleup’ Riesling 2012 £9.99 Howard Park Wines Light, floral nose. Pithy, sharp and pleasant. 12.40% Quirky Bird Sauvignon Semillon Nouvelle 2012 £6.99 Accolade Wines Apparently Nouvelle is a grape variety. No, me neither. Fresh, grassy nose. Bright, tart and refreshing. Nice wine. Fair price. 12.50% Quirky Bird Chenin Semillon Muscat 2012 £6.99 Accolade Wines A hint of muscat on the nose. This carries through into the palate. It's not bad at all. The aftertaste is muscat, but dry. Quite good. Slightly prefer the Sauv/Sem/Nouvelle. 12.50% Simply Chenin Blanc NV £3.99 Origin Wines A hint of wet wool on the nose. Actually, this is pretty good for the money. Light, fresh, easy to drink and very cheap. 12.50% |

I thought the NZSB was strange and definitely not one I would go back to. |
