Looking for some wine and not sure what to buy? This week we have four recommendations from Jancis Robinson, the world-renowned wine authority and Master of Wine, who recommended four wines from Tesco in her feature on good-value wines under £10 last weekend.
Finest* Saint Mont 2010, £6.99
“Seriously distinctive blend of historic local Gascon varieites Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu and Arrufiac from the excellent co-op that dominates wine production in Armagnac country. Dry buy juicy and well structured. No hurry to drink this bargain.”
Finest* Swartland Chenin Blanc 2011, £6.99
“Cult winemaker Adi Badenhorst advised on this blend of Chenin Blanc from South Africa’s most fashionable recuperated wine region with a little Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne.”
Finest* Manzanilla 50cl, £5.99
“Barbadillo specialises in this lightest, palest, driest, most appetising style of sherry. The sample I tasted was tingling fresh and superlative value. Saves paying Ryanair to fly you to Jerez!”
Finest* Somontano 2010, £6.99
“From the Aragonese foothills of the Pyrenees, this novel blend showcases the perfumed local Moristel grape with Garnacha and Syrah. Very aromatic with good structure and a dry finish. This is real wine at a bargain price, presumably because Somontano has no great reputation
