Looks like a new 'push'. It's in several places, but Maj is best price at the mo.

...Waits for a Goosegogs rant

"This wine comes from 47 different vineyard sites in the Wairau Valley"

That's 1.5cl per vineyard!

Not a dig at you btw MM. Thanks for thinking of is and bringing it to our attn. I'll probably pass for now unless it gets an exceptional write up somewhere.

47 vineyards crumbs !! didnt read about the wine as you know i dont like SB.
Apologies for sending a dud wine.

Rich,

Ok, Ok - you put that up so you could find a way to show us your appreciation of the style

TBH - from Giesen, The Brothers cuvee' is the only one that is likely to please many of us.

INMHO - The 2013 vintage will be a more pleasurable MSB wine, and unlikely to be that one !

Having had a trawl through on Friday, - because my sub £10 MSB stocks are down to zero, I'd recommend the Vavasour 2013 as being capable of delivering something of the style. I wouldn't mind a rant from our resident guru just now, on that comment.

I notice that Majestic have no stocks of the reserve wines on the black Villa Maria label.
Clifford Bay 2013 got the sub £20 Decanter award, yet VAV '13 got a silver in the QPR band.

So . . . that's my two cents.

BTW, pulled a single Vav'10 out of my wine cooler on Wednesday, and it was still impressive.

I also notice that Majestic have now decided that the Cloudy Bay RRP was a whopping £27.50 in order to get their computer programme to run a 33.3% offer. Truly absurd, and insulting to their mature and loyal customers - Come on Majestic, Duh. Their new marketing manager (is thought to have) cut his teeth moving solar panels in Norway.
