Again we held one of our in house tastings where old friends and new joined us to sample an interesting collection of South American wines.
I was delighted at the consistent quality of the wines even though the sale price did not go above £11.00.
Of the whites the very simple and honest Sauvignon Blanc by Chalten from Patagonia was very popular, as was the Chilean, Unwooded Chardonnay from Echeverria. The surprise was a delicious white Torrontes showing all its Galician character from Don David. A blend of Chardonnay/Viognier was not so well received, except for a couple of fans.
With the reds the following grape varieties were represented- Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Pinot Noir and a very popular Chilean Carmenere. The top red was a Gran Reserva Merlot from Patagonia.
If you wish to sample twelve wines; 6 White & 6 Red including P & P £123.00 delivery 5 to 7 days, or collect from our cellars with advanced notice please.
