Wine Of The Week

Opal Ridge Gewurtztraminer/ Verdelho.

This beautiful Australian wine combines the aromatic Gewurtztraminer with the more full-bodied Verdelho resulting in a delightfully balanced, fresh and an all-too-easy to quaff wine. Flavours of lime, lychee, rose petal and passionfruit about, but without the eye-watering acidity of the NZ Sauvignon Blanc, making it the perfect accompaniment to Asian and spiced fayre.

We enjoyed this beautiful wine over dinner last night and it complimented the sticky pork cheek, crispy prawn and Wasabi pea purée starter beautifully.

I will be ordering myself a case of this very soon!

if you can find it Ch de Berne, Majestic I believe 10-50 - "An attractive and delicate honeysuckle pink wine with a lifted nose of summer fruits and tropical suggestions of mango. Intense, crisp, well balanced and refreshing on the palate."

Domaine de la Croix (Valmar) is very similar.....

Mirabeau Pure (Waitrose)....

Chateau de Galoupet and Chateau Riotort worth chasing down.

They all sound lovely. I need to gain some experience of rosés.
