Chateau Sainte Marie Entre-Deux-Mers 'Vieilles Vignes' 2024 75cl
£12.16
This is full of character, while gentler than a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand The first impression is of pink grapefruit and gooseberry, with just a suggestion of tomato plant The smell is so appetising that it invites you to take a sip Brisk and mouthwatering on the palate, balanced by some breadth and weight of texture It finishes where it begins with a lovely persistence of pure, zesty citrus flavours Great to drink now, or you can expect it to gain richness of texture over the next 2-3 years

Meinert Sauvignon Blanc 2023 75cl
£12.80
This is a lovely, creamy-textured wine, which receives extended maturation to develop the evident richness in the mouth A slight smidgin of Semillon is also included, to further enhance the complexity and dimensions of flavour There are characteristic hints of green bean, okra and capsicum; however these are all in proportion and do not dominate Essential but understated is the vibrant, tingly acidity that unifies, freshens and centres the flavours and texture Bravo for the crafting of a Sauvignon with subtlety!
