Nick presented 8 wines
from Brazil, all available direct from the website. He did say that
Brazil is an expensive country, so the wines are all a touch more
pricey than their competition, but not madly so.
Pretty well all of
Brazils wines come from the very south of the country, close by
Uruguay and Argentina – there are also some grown in the centre
close by the equator.
The fizz was a well
balanced, biscuitty style, which many liked, and at £15 compares
well with many other decent sparkling wines.
The 2 Sinais whites,
were yet another example of clean, fresh, well made whites – no
complaints there, while the Viognier was a good example of the rich
and oily Viogniers that I personally really like.
The Pinot Noir is, as
Nick admitted, getting close to past its best, but many liked it, and
if PN is your thing, its a steal at £7.
The Teroldego is an
unusual grape variety from Northern Italy, and a good wine with hints
of cherry & smokiness in there.
Finally, the Tannat,
which at 6 years old, was still quite tannic – will it soften with
age? Time will tell.
