Absolute Essentials for Your Wine Rack, Chosen by the Great Wine Co.
Twelve bottles to brighten your wine rack and ensure that you are prepared for every vinous eventuality.
"Fresh and intense aromas of greengage, pineapple and amalfi lemon, with a hint of asian spice. There is a coolness and fragrance that is very enticing. On the palate the silky Garnacha Blanco and Chardonnay blend is elegant yet vibrant with bright acidity. The finely exotic fruits are persistent, crisp and refreshing, and there is hint of creaminess on the finish."
"This is a dry, restrained Spanish white, with hay and fennel flavours rounded out by plums and pears, and ending on a refined note of citrus."
"On the nose, this white wine combines gooseberry, exotic fruit and peach. The palate is rich and generous, with a fresh, tasty finish and a fruity after-taste."
"Juicy, vibrant and lively, this is Spain's answer to Beaujolais. Fermentation and maceration occur at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks where the three grapes (predominantly Tempranillo) are co-fermented. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into American oak barrels where it is aged for 4 months. This is a wine with a satisfying mouth-feel, black fruits character, good acidity gives backbones and structure - and a lingering tasty finish. "
"Dense purple in colour with bright brick red highlights. Powerfully aromatic, showing concentrated stone fruit aromas such as plums and prunes with a hint of spicy oak. The palate is medium to full bodied with a stylish balance between dense black fruit flavours, tightly knit fine grained tannin and judicious use of oak. Finishes firm and grippy - perfect for drinking with red meat! Sweet aromas of blackberries and plums are enhanced by subtle vanilla notes. Good structure and velvety texture, with soft tannins and long length."
"Lively red fruit with a hint of pepper describe the nose of this red wine. A supple and velvety palate, accompanied by berry fruit aromas make this medium-weight wine easy to drink and ideal for summer drinking."
