Royal Tokaji Furmint Special Reserve 2012 Tokajhegyalja
RRP £9.99
ABV 12.5%
100% Furmint
Producer: The Royal Tokaji Wine Company, an exclusive
Laithwaite’s blend
Very appealing nose. Like slightly baked apple. Low on acidity and very rounded. I like its strangeness but am not sure it’ll be popular with the man in the street, or the woman indoors.

Sula Nasika Sauvignon Blanc 2013 Nashik Valley, India
RRP £7.99
ABV 13%
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Producer: Sula Vineyards
Very interested to try Indian wine. Fresh and appealing peapod nose. Tangy, bright and sharp. On the spring onion side of sauvignon. Fair stab.

Sula Nasika Zinfandel 2013 Nashik Valley, India
RRP £7.99
ABV 14%
100% Zinfandel
Producer: Sula Vineyards
A very fresh and appealing nose. Very fruit-led and fragrant. Refreshing, partly because it’s served chilled. A little spicy. Good.
