Brancott Estate - Sauvignon Blanc

 Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Majestic £7.00

Spring has sprung with sunshine and flowers and the long awaited opportunity to sip in the sun. I have been greatly anticipating a cool glass of Sauvignon Blanc in the garden on a sunny day and this crisp white wine from Morrisons is perfect. 

So clear in colour, highlighted in the rays, this wine is full of tropical aromas and it brings gooseberries, lime and zestiness to the palate. A super Sauvignon Blanc with a super acidic length that encourages you to take another sip - no encouragement needed, it's delicious!

Brancott Estate is the first Marlborough vineyard in the Montana wine portfolio and its Sauvignon Blanc sits high on the list of New Zealand producers. It has all the classic characteristics, along with added crispness expected from a New World Sauvignon Blanc. 

Perfectly paired to an afternoon relaxing in the sun but it would be equally as enjoyable with a herby chicken dish, a prawn salad or a plate of cheese. 

Brancott Estate also produce the following wines: 

Rosé    

Pinot Gris       Reisling      Chardonnay 

Pinot Noir      Merlot

Les Oliviers - Grenache

 Les Oliviers Grenache, Great Grog £8.15

A super wine from the Languedoc in Southern France made from Grenache grapes. Its dark colour holds scarlet low lights that shine through the base of the glass. 

With no oak its aromas are fruit focussed with dark fruits that follow through into the mouth. At 13.5% this medium bodied tannin free wine has a soft finish. 

It was great on it's own and good with a sausage and mash dinner. This wine would also  pair well with tomato based pasta dishes. 

Les Oliviers is a range of wine named after the olive groves that grow in the sunny climate of Southern France. The range of wines includes: 

Grenache Cinsault Rosé, Pays d'Oc

Chardonnay, Coôtes de Gascogne

Sauvignon Blanc, Pays d'Oc

Merlot Mourvėdre, Pays d'Oc
