August 2021: Wines from Laithwaites

 

Wines from Laithwaites presented by Keith.

This was the last of the Summer (Covid) Outdoors series, we had a little party afterwards too. The weather was kind, after a scarily dreadful forecast. Next month (september) we’re back in the Library.

Some very good wines in here, as you’d hope from Laithwaites. There are 3 prices – Single bottle, Mix 12, and Offer. So what will you actually pay? Who knows.

Whites

Champagne Brigitte Delmotte – Cote de Bars - £35/£29.99/£17.99.

A very good example of Champers. Worth it at £18.

Campanula, Pinot Grigio, Etyek-Buda, Hungary. 2020 - £9.99/£8.99

Good, but lacks body.

East by North East. Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Italy. 2019 - £20/£17/£10

Excellent – A top notch PG

Stellenrust Heritage Collection, Bush Vine Chenin Blanc. Stellenbosch, SA. 2020 - £11/£10

Very good indeed. Well worth the money.

Reds

Rex Mundi, Shiraz/Grenache Blend. Roussilon, France. 2020 - £10.45/£9.49

Weird, really sweet. No.

Stonewall Pinot Noir. Marlborough, NZ. 2018 - £13.99/£12.49

A very light Pinot Noir, odd as well.

Le Champ des Etoiles, Pinot Noir, Languedoc, France. 2020 - £11.49/£8.99

A very full bodied PN, at 14%. Very good indeed.

Red Heads R’Dotto Royale. Blend* Adelaide, Oz. 2018. (No longer listed)

* Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Montepulciano, Sagrantino

A good solid blended Red.

Which would I choose?

A very easy choice – The Chenin Blanc from SA, and the Languedoc Pinot Noir.
