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.
