Again this month, in line with the Covid rules, presented in a members garden, with 30 members.
Presented by Phil, our chairman, with a focus on slightly unusual wines, all readily available from Majestic. All prices are the Buy 6 prices.
All scores are my own. Opinions may differ
Whites:
- Albarino Caixas 2019, Galicia, Spain. £9.99. 12.5%
8/10 – A very straightforward clean, fresh white
- Lyrarakis Assyrtiko 2020, Crete. £9.99 13.5%
6.5/10 – Bone dry. Tart. There are better Assyrtiko wines out there, can be very good.
- Fincher & Co Sauvignon Blanc 2019. Awatere Valley, NZ. £10.99 13.5%
8.5 - A classic NZ Sauvignon blanc. You won’t be dissappointed
- Kuhlmann Platz Cave de Hunawihr Riesling 2020. Alsace, France. £10.99 13 %
9/10. I’m biased. I always like Alsace wines. A solid, full bodied, well balanced Riesling.
Reds
- Lulu L’Alouette Cabernet Franc 2019. Saumur, Loire, France. £10.99 13.5%
6/10. Not the best.. Had an odd taste to me, but others did like it.
- Cune Maruxa Mencia 2019. Galicia, Spain. £10.99 13.5%
7.5/10. The Mencia grape is not that common over here. But a straightforward easy drinking full bodied red.
- Surani Costarossa Primitivo di Manduria 2019. Puglia, Italy. £8.99 14 %
9/10. Oaky. Well rounded, full bodied. An excellent wine at the price.
- Santa Rita Medalla Real Gran Reserva Carmenere. Colchagua Valley, Chile. £10.99 14.0%
9/10. As above but more so.
