More November Wines - WIne Century

 Another 2 wines from the Wine society. 

1. Hasandede 2017 - Turkey. 

This would be wine #219. A dry white wine from the Ankara region in Turkey. £8.50. 

The back label says: "It has notes of mint, laurel, linden, quince, lemon leaves. It has grapefuit and green apple aromas with a fresh and aromatic palate" 

A very ordinary white wine, I'm afraid. Think Ski-Chalet bulk Vin Blanc. 

Not dreadful, but simply not that good. I have had worse, and it wasn't undrinkable, but... 

Quality - 5/10. VFM - 4/10. Would I buy again? No. 


 

2. Roter Veltliner 2019 - Austria.

Wine #220. Roter Veltliner, Familie Mantler "Ried Sandburg" £8.50. This is a very similar, but completely unrelated grape to the Gruner Veltliner. Still a white wine. The problem for this wine, is that it is quite nce, but very similar to the much more familiar Gruner Veltliner, but simply not as good. 

Quality - 7/10. VFM - 7/10. Would I buy again? No. Buy GV instead
