Waitrose Red Wines January 2024
Maree d'ione Organic Nero di Troia
Organic Nero di Trioa grapes from Puglia star in this sumptuous Italian red. The fruits run deep so expect luscious dark cherries, plum and blackberry set against a warming backdrop of cinnamon, pepper, and cloves. There really are few (if any) better red gluggers at this price.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £6.99 (usually £9.99)
Summer Road Old Vine Grenache
This Aussie red makes magical use of old Grenache vines, extracting incredible flavour and complexity from those deep roots. There are also fewer grapes, so everything goes into the small yield. Berries star on a subtle nose, but the first sip is where this comes alive. Red fruits are everywhere, with precise acidity, fruity sweetness, and a slight waft of smoke. It’s fantastically well-rounded, and the intense booze is integrated very softly… so be careful not to overdo it, which is easy when it’s this tasty.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £7.49 (usually £9.49)
Terre di Faiano Primitivo Organico Puglia
The richness of the blackcurrant nose kicks off this full-bodied, organic red from Italy, before a soft palate unfolds with mellow blackberry, cherry and plum. Chocolate, oak and vanilla round this easy-drinking gem off in satisfyingly style, alongside a a crisp bite on the finish.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £10.99)
Bodega Norton Winemaker's Reserve Malbec
This deep and rich Mendoza Malbec from a premium winery is captivating, from the plummy nose to the toasted oaky finish. In between, the flavours are bold but restrain themselves when needed. Think wafts of tobacco and leather, black cherry, blackberry, and a nice bite of acidity. It’s screaming to be served alongside dark meats. £4 off too! – must try.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £13.99)
Waitrose Rosé Wines January 2024
Le Bijou Rosé de Sophie Valrose Coteaux de Béziers, Languedoc
This wine is inspired by Sophie Valrose, a legendary figure who campaigned for better working conditions for the female vineyard workers alongside her. This is very much in the dry, crisp profile of French Rosé, with subtle lemon and strawberry and a little cream. It’s a real crowd-pleaser and would cause a few upsets in a blind tasting.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.99 (usually £9.99)
Waitrose White Wines December 2023
Côtes de Gascogne Les Collines de Luza Sauvignon Blanc
There’s a third off this refreshing French Sauvignon Blanc, but honestly, we would recommend it even at full price. Hailing from picturesque Gascony, it delivers bright citrus aroma, elegant, light pears, and a slight nuttiness. Serve with fresh salads and fish for a midweek meal.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £5.99 (usually £8.99)
Giesen Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc
This is a benchmark New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, bursting with crisp fruits like apricot, peach, grapefruit, and pineapple. Some limey grass comes through wonderfully too. There’s only a little acidity, so this is very much soft and smooth as Sauvignon Blanc goes.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13 %
Find here: £6.99 (usually £9.99)
Fenaroli Pecorino Superiore
What a lovely floral expression of the Pecorino grape this is. Casal Thaulero in Abruzzo are the winery behind it, and as such a delicately crisp wine it requires master craftsmanship, which is exactly what has happened. Those wild flowers and citrus notes intertwine majestically, and it would be a dreamy pairing with light pasta and fish dishes.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.49 (usually £10.99)
Yealands Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
Over to the Awatere Valley in New Zealand now for this Sauvignon Blanc, which is as beautiful as the butterflies that flit amongst the coastal vines there. Tropical hints come to the fore here. Think kiwi, mango, lime, and passionfruit, as well as a bright grapefruit tang. The minerality rounds off everything deliciously, and for under £10 you have to give it a go.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £11.99)
Waitrose Sparkling Wine January 2024
Codorniu Seleccion Familia Reserva Organic Cava
This is a welcome addition to Waitrose’s fizz offering, and is another reliable wine by the Codorniu label. Chardonnay grapes make up half the liquid, with Spanish Macabeo and Xarel-lo from hot Penedés sharing the rest. It’s exceptional value, with nutty, toasty notes coming through from 18 months on lees. The creamy, softness to the orchard fruits is to die for too.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £12.99)
