Modern winemaking techniques have revolutionised the quality of everyday wine to the extent that it is now possible to enjoy wine at very affordable prices. Try this recession-beating mixed case and save money on some mouth-watering examples from around the world.
The Value-for-money case costs £66 and includes three bottles each of the following four wines.
Hutton Ridge Chenin Blanc 2009, South Africa: A modern chenin blanc from South Africa’s Coastal Region, this wine shows just what can be achieved by using modern winemaking techniques. It is full of fresh tropical fruit and works well with white meats, pork especially.
Pinot Grigio Rosé La Delfina 2008, Italy: By the end of the summer, pinot grigio grapes begin to turn a copper colour which enables winemakers to produce a rosé. This excellent example has subtle flavours of cherries and is superb with charcuterie.
Rio Alto Classic Merlot 2008, Chile: Superb value Chilean merlot which shows you just why Chile is famous for producing wonderful wines from this classic grape variety. Plummy and ripe with smooth rounded fruit, this is a wine that no one could fail to like — try it with or without food.
Borsao Garnacha 2008, Spain: The new wave of modern Spanish wines is providing some very fresh fruit-driven wines and this superb example is no exception. Made from the garnacha (or grenache) grape variety, this is smooth, rounded and full of spicy red berry fruit — delicious!
