Series 8 begins on Thursday 3rd September, sponsored by Majestic.
VALUE VINO IS BACK!
We’re back! Everyone needs a bit of Value Vino from time to time and these bottles have blown my socks off.
Paul Mas Vinus Malbec 2019 (13.5%) £8.25 Morrisons. Lush and fruity with a pleasing twist - rather like when you bite a blackcurrant or plum and the skin pops with a lifting zing that frames the fruit. Decant this rocking red and your friends and family will think it tastes like twice the price.
Gaillac Perle ‘Evocation’ 2019 £7.99 (mix six) Majestic Fresher than a deep dive into the ozone layer, this easy breezy white is sensational with a gentle spritz.
Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon ‘Black’ 2018 Maule Valley (13.5%) £8 on offer Asda. I mean this in a good way: this wine smells like an angry Kola Cube. A total steal at its usual price of £10, but on offer at £8 - go and buy it without hesitating. It’s huge and powerful yet slips down ludicrously easily. At this price, it’s beyond brilliant.
The Society’s Exhibition Alvarinho Vinho Verde 2019 (13%) £8.95. Hallelujah, sherbet at the seaside, this is has a tropical twist and a sharp appley spritz. Total magic.
LeftField Rosé Hawkes Bay 2019 has 25% off, £11.99 to £8.99 in Waitrose. Dive in! Exotic and fruity, this is bold vibrancy to please a crowd and works a charm with big flavours from smokey meats to spicy curries.
We'll be back with more Value Vinos every week in Hot Bottle - do share this newsletter for your friends to subscribe so they can get the inside track too.
For more wine recommendations, don't forget my column has moved to You Magazine in the Mail on Sunday. You can read Sunday's full column on Barbecue Bottles here.
And join me this Thursday 3rd September at 6pm live on Instagram for my Desert Island Wines with the Wine Society. Tune in at 6pm @thewinesociety1874 to find out which wines I've chosen to keep me company.
Here's to a splendid September, keep in touch.
