Supermarket Wine Bargains: Sainsbury’s March 2024

Shoppers of Sainsbury’s listen up. We’ve been pawing through the offers for the best bottles this March, and the offers are superb this month. Check out these ten bottles, split down the middle between juicy reds and elegant whites… and all for £10 or less.

Sainsbury’s Red Wines March 2024

Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva Douro DOC

In the heart of the Douro region, this delicious Portuguese red is made that bit deeper with a Vintage Port finish for 12 months. There’s so much refined spice and delicately rich black fruits all before the silky finish that lasts for ages. You don’t find many reds that bring bold flavour but also nuanced restraint as well as this for a tenner.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £11.50)

Sainsbury's Valpolicella Ripasso, Taste the Difference

This is one of the best value bottles in any UK supermarket. Corvina makes up most of the four-grape blend where dried grape skins are macerated for extra depth and texture. Rich darker fruits come through alongside bright berries and lively spice but despite all that bold Italian flavour, it doesn’t feel heavy at all. Masterfully made.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £10 (usually £12)

Mucho Mas Vino Tinto

This is a juicy, easy-drinking red from one of the world’s largest family-owned wineries, situated not far from Madrid. Sweet dark fruits are brimming at the heart of it, supported by a crack of warm pepper and comforting vanilla. Top-notch midweek glugger at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.50)

Trivento Private Reserve Malbec

Chilean Mendoza Malbec from the Uco Valley at the foothills of the Andes now. Aged for 8 months in oak barrels, the wine darkens with chocolatey notes and spice, most notably black pepper, and nutmeg. Mulled wine comes to mind at times.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Porta 6 Vinho Regional Lisboa

The vineyards above Lisbon are cooled by the Atlantic ocean, so the grapes grown there maintain really fresh acid and aromatics. The blackcurrants and strawberries are light and softened by that acidity, leaving a rustic style wine that goes down a treat. Let it breathe for a while though.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury’s White Wines March 2024

Greasy Fingers Big Buttery Chardonnay

We are more than to shout about this from the rooftops whenever it comes on sale because it is divine. There’s no getting away from the ‘big and buttery’ label here that has made a massive impression on us in its short life so far. The butter leaves just enough room for crunchy orchard fruits and a touch of oaky vanilla, so expect more of a Cali Chard profile than Aussie.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Yealands Sauvignon Blanc

Yealands produce a few Sauvignon Blancs and this supermarket gem is fantastic. It’s a crisp classic delivering tonnes of naturally high acidity, offset harmoniously with tasty tropical fruits like guava and peach, and all underwritten by lovely herbaceous notes too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10.50)

Sainsbury's Coolwater Bay Marlborough Sauvignon, Taste the Difference

What a great price this is for quality Marlborough Sauvignon. It’s got that beautiful dryness and exotic mango, lime, and papaya that you want. The minerality definitely comes through, as do hints of fresh herbs. It’s crisp and delicate and simply delivers on exactly what you want.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £11.99)

Barone Montalto Grillo Sicilia DOC

100% Grillo grapes from Sicilain winery Barone Montalto have produced an absolute gem here. Citrus (most notably grapefruit) floods the nose and after the first sip, you’ll notice that this is a big, weighty white with tropical fruit sweetness and a flicker of green fruits. Very nice.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.25 (usually £8)

Elegant Frog Viognier

Say hello to the Elegant Frog, a Languedoc Viognier from Jean-Claude Mas. Part of the blend is aged in oak barrels to enhance the aromas of floral peach, as well as the richness of dried fruit on the palate. The aftertaste is particularly strong for a Viognier but we love it.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7.75 (usually £9.25)

Best Wine to Gift Mum this Mother's Day

There’s a reason that a thoughtfully selected, delicious bottle of wine is one of the most popular Mother’s Day gifts. Sunday 10th is just around the corner (hopefully that hasn’t caught you off guard), and we’ve curated a selection of wines perfect for the big day.

There’s something for everyone, beginning with flourishing English wines before luscious reds and crisp whites to finish. The wines we’ve picked here absolutely justify their price tag and beyond, but we’ve included a few different price points so that you can deliver, no matter how much you have to spend. Let’s get into the good stuff and raise a glass to the Mums!

English Sparkling Wine for Mother’s Day

Asquith Gardens Traditional English Sparkling Wine

One of the English sparklers picking up awards on the international stage, this Asquith Gardens wine is made using the traditional method from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. 5 years of ageing lead to luxuriously fine bubbles, and notes of apple, floral honey, marmalade, and biscuit. It goes toe-to-toe with far more expensive Champagne and is a steal at this price point.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £18

Ridgeview Fitzrovia Rosé NV

Fit for a Royal (and a President), this blend was chosen to be served at many Buckingham Palace banquets such as Obama’s visit in 2011. It’s harmoniously balanced, delivering fresh notes of raspberries, a little honey sweetness and a zip of citrus. It pairs perfectly with shellfish and lean fish and is an outstanding example of English sparkling rosé that is bound to make Mum’s Day!

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £40

Chapel Down Rosé Brut

One of the trailblazers in English wine, Chapel Down make a stunning sparkling rosé that’s brimming with fruits. Strawberry and raspberry lead the charge, flanked by bright lemon and lime and supported by delicate orchard fruits. It’s so crisp and balanced and every sip reminds you that you’re in safe hands. It really is a top notch English sparkling rosé and is excellent value for money too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £29

Champagne for Mother’s Day

Champagne PIAFF Blanc de Blancs NV

Where there’s a celebration, Champagne is never far away but with lofty price tags, you want to make sure you’re getting bang for your buck. From Mansard’s Côte des Blancs vineyard comes this dreamy 100% Chardonnay expression, with a striking, persistent mousse lifting the floral and subtly nutty nose. Beyond that, delicate white fruits, brioche fullness and pleasing minerality build a solid structure. The wave of freshness comes first, before the mellow pastry profile takes over. It’s intense and restrained in perfect measure and exactly what Champagne is all about.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £69.30

Red Wine for Mother’s Day

Ravenswood Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel

This is Cali Zinfandel from Lodi that’s full-on in the best way possible. 18 months of American and French oak ageing has developed a tasty bouquet of red and dark berries. The fruits come through with intense concentration of flavour- think woody Christmas spice, plush blackberry and a really unique coconut note. Smooth, quaffable and deeply delicious. Perfect for a red wine loving mum.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £12.50

Malbado Malbec

Mendoza Malbec now and this bottle really is superb value for the money. It brings that signature Argentinian profile - warm, smooth, and seductive with dark fruits with a subtle waft of smoke (perfect for hearty meat pairings). Peppery spice tickles the tongue nicely at the end too. It’s rock solid Malbec with great character, and a sure fire hit with most Malbec drinking Mums.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £12.50 (usually more!)

DV Catena Malbec

This is one of those great wines that makes you think the price tag is wrong because it has so much going on. A Mendoza Malbec, the cocoa and coffee bean notes are rich, the dark plums and cherries are concentrated and floral vanilla notes add a delicate touch. Silky, spicy and one of the best in the supermarket- Mum would never guess it is £13!

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £13

Bread & Butter Pinot Noir

If your Mum likes Pinot Noir, and particularly American Pinot then this Napa Valley wine is perfect. It balances the lofty, floral and pretty nose with a distinct earthy, almost leathery note. The barrel really shows with strong vanilla oak, and of course the signature red berries dazzle at the heart of it all. A perfect gift for Mum.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £13.50 (usually more!)

White Wine for Mother’s Day

McGuigan Black Label Moscato

This delivers on all the sweetness you want with a Moscato, but for such a low price it does so much more. Guava, kiwi and lychee make for a tropical whirlpool, holding onto some sour tang for great balance. It’s surprisingly refreshing, and not over sweet (the downfall of many Moscato bottles). A really fun and affordable Australian sipper that may just become Mums regular favourite.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 8%
Find here: £6.50

Graham Norton's Own Sauvignon Blanc

Made by Invivo, this is a great Awatere Valley Sauvignon from the nation’s favourite chat show host, Graham Norton. You’ll notice straight away after the first sip that it’s less up forward fruit and more savoury, saline, and even a little smoky. The classic grassy hints come through too. Some celebrity wines are a bit dodgy, but this is really, really nice.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £7.50 (Clubcard Price)

Mount Impey Malborough Sauvignon Blanc

In the Marlborough Wairau Valley stands Mount Impey, the peak of the Holdaway family’s biodiversity reserve. This vast landscape is home to countless species under threat, including the New Zealand Eastern Falcon adorning the label. Every purchase of this wine helps to support this effort. But crucially, what’s inside is a delight too. The green vegetal notes and gooseberry intertwine with bold citrus and soft peach. There’s a really good kick of acidity too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £11 (Clubcard Price)

1000 Stories Chardonnay

This is an eyebrow raising wine, in the best way possible. If you haven’t heard of 1000 Stories, they focus on fermenting their wines in charred ex-bourbon barrels. Their Chardonnay is a really yummy example, reimagining the Cali classic with toasted caramel and oaky vanilla. Expertly though, the loveable characteristics of the grape are not lost, because in come those delicious orchard fruits with a little citrus zip. Great for a Mum who likes exploring twists on classic wine profiles.

ABV: 14.5%

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Tesco March 2024

Supermarket Wine Bargains again, and shoppers at Tesco will want to see these gems. They’ve got some cracking offers for March, and we’ve been through and highlighted four stunning reds and whites, and two delicious Rosé suggestions too. They’re all under £10 and better than many wines double the price. See which one (or three) takes your fancy.

Tesco Red Wines March 2024

Aprimondo Appassimento

This is one of the best Sangiovese reds under £10. It’s full of body and flavour, with a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel. You can expect a symphony of darker berries, with great sweetness from the dried grapes. Fig, date, prune and vanilla mellow things out for a fantastically well-rounded wine.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.25)

19 Crimes Red Wine

19 Crimes are a reliable go-to at this pricepoint, with each bottle being a ode to those transported to Australia many years ago. This Shiraz-dominant blend is aged in American oak so vanilla and cedar spice support jammy blackcurrant and plum. It’s got an almost Christmassy feel to it we think, with a good whack of sweetness so if like that, you’ll love this.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.50)

Apothic Merlot

Untamed blueberries and dark cherries absolutely soar in this silky smooth Cali Merlot. Buttery, oaky, vanilla fill out the palate indulgently making this the sweetest, jammiest of any Apothic wine. It won’t be for everyone, but for big rich sweetness, it’s delish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10)

Luis Felipe Edwards Malbec

Fans of Chilean Malbec, look no further. Grown from 70-year-old wines, the stand out characteristics here are the dryness and pleasing acidity joining the richness of blackberry, plum and chocolate coated cherries. There’s oak too, but it’s not as intrusive as Argentinian blends. It’s very nicely poised overall, with a more expensive feel than it actually is… which is always nice.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £8.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.50)

Tesco Rosé Wines March 2024

Maison Castel Rose D'anjou

This inviting pale pink hue hides an explosion of citrus and red fruits on the nose, which unfold into a richly aromatic palate. A refreshing dryness persists, but strawberry sweetness and light melon come through fabulously and last an age. Top notch Loire Valley Rosé.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9)

Kylie Minogue Cote De Provence Rosé

Another hit for Kylie, this pitch-perfect Provence Rosé is stunning. Every sip feels delicately poised between minerality and fruit. Lofty watermelon, bitter lemon, soft white peaches and strawberries – it’s a proper glass of summer.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £10.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £12.50)

Tesco White Wines March 2024

Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc

This Marlborough Sauvignon is a favourite in a number of UK supermarkets, loved for its traditional expression of the style. Everything you want is there, from the gooseberry nose to the tropical fruits with soft pineapple and zippy grapefruit. The whole thing is razor sharp but elegant with it, and there’s even some herbaceous complexity to play with. So well-rounded.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.50)

El Jardin De Ana Godello

What amazing value this is for £8. The work of renowned producer Martín Códax, it delivers maximum freshness with no oak. 100% Godello, it’s juicy, and lively, brimming with orchard fruits and a touch of creamy butter. Nothing too complicated, you know what you’re getting, and it’s delicious.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £10.50)

Bouchard Grand Conseiller Chardonnay

This is an unoaked Bergundy Chardonnay that’s divine for the price. The light lemon coloured pour reveals a bright citrus nose, chiefly lemon and grapefruit, and these continue in the mouth. They’re flanked by spicy acidity and crunchy green fruits, before a return to citrus with lime zest lingering on the finish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £8.50 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.50)

19 Crimes Australian Chardonnay

We always keep our eyes peeled for this wine to come on sale, though truth be told we’d buy it at full price too. Oak ageing gives a moreish richness to the melon and stone fruits that appear, but the buttery almost vanilla note is what steals the show bringing a tasty nudge of sweetness to proceedings.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (Clubcard Price) (usually £9.50)

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Waitrose March 2024

We’re back with some Supermarket Wine Bargains for March, and they are superb this month at Waitrose. We’ve got four luscious reds and crisp whites, as well as couple of yummy Rosé suggestions too. Every bottle we’ve highlighted comes in for under £10, which is an absolute bargain considering the quality. See which takes your fancy and get stuck in before the deals run out on the 19th March!

Waitrose Red Wines March 2024

Pazzia Primitivo di Manduria

If you like Waitrose’s Terre di Faiano Primitivo (and we do!) then there’s a good chance you’ll fall for this too. Also from Puglia, it’s a seductively inky pour revealing fleshy cherries, ripe plums, and a bed of oaky vanilla. They’re low yield grapes which put many producers off, but what is bottled is special and tastes a hell of a lot more expensive than it is – especially with the discount.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £12.99)

Chateau Tanunda Shiraz

Top notch value Barossa Valley Shiraz here. It’s super jammy and full-bodied with raspberry, blackberry, plum and cherry, but the sweetness is restrained nicely too. Mellow oak, peppery spice and vanilla round things off nicely.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £7.49 (usually £9.99)

Stemmari Passiata

An Italian blend of Syrah and Sicilian Nero d’Avola, lightly dried grapes bring a delicious rich sweetness to the plum, blackberry, and blueberry notes. Woody tobacco and vanilla take over to fill out the body, but somehow it retains a lightness that a wine like this normally wouldn’t.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £11.99)

Tilimuqui Fairtrade Organic Malbec

Tilimuqui’s organic Malbec is an absolute gem. Hailing from Argentina, it’s very much on the dry side, brimming with perfectly executed black fruits and chocolate. It’s silky and spicy too and probably on the lighter side of Argentinian Malbec which may go against it for some, but we enjoyed it.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £11.99)

Waitrose Rosé Wines March 2024

Alaina Rosé Laurent Miquel

Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault combine for this Languedoc Rosé, named after the winemaker’s daughter. It’s so summery, refreshing and elegant, and alive with crisp fruits and floral notes. The strawberry brings some richness but overall this is a light Rosé with good citric acidity and would be a dream pairing for many dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.69 (usually £12.99)

Le Bijou Rosé de Sophie Valrose Coteaux de Béziers

This gem was on offer a few months ago so it’s great to see it back (even though it’s easily worth picking up at full price). Inspired by legendary Sophie Valrose who did great work supporting women vineyard workers, it’s a signature dry and crisp French Rosé from Languedoc. Strawberries and cream are lifted by subtle but vibrant lemon and enforced by steely minerality. Should cost more really (shh!)

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.99 (usually £9.99)

Waitrose White Wines March 2024

Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc

An adventure from the start, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes are grown between historic valleys, picturesque mountains, and wild oceans, before reaching Villa Maria… beneath a volcano. The end product is a signature Marlborough profile in the glass – no bitterness, just refreshing crispness and stunning lightness. Think gooseberry, passion fruit, kiwi and green apple.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.49 (usually £10.99)

Cave de Beblenheim Pinot Gris Reserve

A benchmark Alsace Pinot Gris across all supermarkets, this is stunningly fresh and easy to drink, but with a delicate side that shows more is going on. Pineapple, vanilla, elderflower, melon, and pear intertwine with a richness that coats the tongue. Crowd-pleasing, food-friendly, what more could you want?

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £11.99)

Morande Terrarum Semillon

Semillon was one of the grapes neglected by vineyards for a long time, but as part of a wider effort to revive old vines, it’s developing again. 100-year-old vines go into this complex dry white from Chile, delivering a waxy mouthfeel rich with crisp citrus, floral depths and sweet honey. There’re also some herbaceous green hints going on too. Really interesting wine.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £9.99)

Piccozza Pinot Bianco

This a wonderfully robust Italian Pinot Blanc white in roughly the same vein as a Chardonnay. Orchard fruits come to the fore alongside stone fruits and fragrant jasmine. Smooth and refreshing, the balance is spot on with this one and it’d be a dreamy companion to many fish dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9.74 (usually £12.99)

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Sainsbury’s February/March 2024

We’re back with the latest Supermarket Wine Bargains, hunting down the latest and greatest must try wines discounted this month. These wonderful reds, whites and rosés are all currently on offer at Sainsbury’s (until the 10th March), and nearly every bottle is under £10. They really are incredible value for money this month, so let’s dive in.

*UPDATED: 21/02/2024*

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento

This is an Emilia-Romagna Sangiovese from Tenuta Santonedo that is one of the best value reds across all UK supermarkets. Staggeringly easy to drink, the grapes are hand-picked and slow-dried for seductive, ripe richness. Jammy blackberry and cherry come to the fore, with tasty vanilla and enough acidity cutting through. Every sip is super smooth and there really is no better bottle for Italian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Greasy Fingers Luscious Red

Greasy Fingers’ medium-bodied blend of Grenache and Shiraz is a tremendous pickup. Like their big and buttery Chardonnay, it’s made to sing with yummy, greasy food, but there’s a lot more to it. The mouthfeel is super silky and the balance between the Shiraz’s rich fruits and the Grenache’s fruity sweetness is pinpoint perfect. It’s so moreish and easy to love that we fail to see how it couldn’t be a crowdpleaser.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Journeys End Bluegum Merlot

Over to Stellenbosch now for this ruby red Merlot. The richness of flavour is noticeable straight away, delivering full blackberry and plum. But this is a really big Merlot so there’s so much more – oaky, earthy, almost smoky wafts and subtle graphite notes provide an intoxicating complexity. 14% but very drinkable and interesting,

Size: 750ml

Find here: £10 (usually £12)

PepperBox Shiraz

Fans of Aussie Shiraz, this is your stop. The nose is instantly captivating with a little liquorice, eucalyptus and of course, luscious dark fruits. The soft viscosity is lovely, as plums, blackcurrants and red cherries reveal themselves amongst the gently spicy depths. That spice comes from noticeable pepper that stands out. We love its indulgence, and think it would be perfect with Sunday Lamb.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc

One of the best textbook Marlborough Sauvignon’s in Sainsbury’s. The gooseberry nose, the tropical pineapple, and grapefruit tang, it’s all so elegant and crisp. The acidity is razor sharp, but there’s herbaceous nettle notes swirling around too and a well-roundedness to the citrus.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10.50)

Amandla Our Future Sauvignon Blanc

We’ve praised Amandla tonnes before, because not only are they brightening up our shelves with great wine, they’re also an inspiring all black operation with vino star Praisy Dlamini at the hem. This is their zesty Sauvignon that’s full of sunshine – think ripe and tropical notes of pineapple, passion fruit and bright citrus. Dry and with a tip-top sharpness for food too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury's Verdeca Puglia IGT No 26

This is quite a new addition to the Sainsbury’s Discovery collection but has stood out to us and is well worth trying. It’s 100% Verdeca grape from Puglia, which you may never have tried before. Expect citrus with a flash of honey on the nose, leading into a eyebrow raising-ly clean palate of crisp minerality. The citrus that’s there is so fresh, and a little peach and florality adds depth. You just need to look at the label to know when to drink this – it works a treat with fish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £6.50 (usually £8.50)

Atlantique Vinho Verde

A lovely Portuguese blend from the family-owned Casa Santos Lima, the grapes in the Minho are cooled by the Atlantic for wines with great freshness and aroma. The profile is that of a young white, with super crisp acidity and fresh fruits, most notably lemon, lime and apple.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts February/March 2024

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Île-de-Beauté Rosé

This was on offer back in January, so we’re happy to see it back below a tenna (even if it is easily worth more). Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Grenache, Vermentinu and Syrah come together to make quite a mouthful, in more ways than one. Hailing from Corsica, it’s very much a dryer Rosé. A gentle bouquet welcomes the nose and the ripe berries and currants fill out the flavours. Stone fruits pop up before an undertone of pink peppery warmth on the finish. This is one of those Rosés that will win over white and red drinkers.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Freixenet Italian Still Rose

This bottle is also on discount for the same price at Morrisons, so there really is no better time to try it. We’ve all seen the signature bottle, but the wine inside is underrated by many. A blend of Italian Corvina and Garganega, every sip has a seductively soft feel and that’s before the red flood of strawberry and cranberry. Grapefruit brings some bitter balance, and overall it’s just a well put together fruit-forward, fresh Rosé.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts February 2024

Barossa Ink Shiraz

This is fantastically deep Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. It uses grapes from all over the region, delivering intense opulence. Think mocha notes, blackberries, and plums. It has a great weight to it, and is screaming out to be drank alongside hearty meats.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Terre di Faiano Nero di Troia Organic Wine

Terre di Faiano make some top notch organic wines, and their Nero di Troia is wonderfully fruity and smooth. It really delivers on a fresh feel before delving richer with plums and blackberries and rounding off with oaky vanilla. Must buy at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury's Valpolicella Ripasso, Taste the Difference

This is fantastic value for money, it really is. A four-grape blend of mainly Corvina, they macerate with dried grape skins for added depth and a velvety texture that’s to die for. Vibrant berries meet rich darker fruits and a touch of spice. It isn’t too heavy despite all of that, which is why it’s so well made.

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts February 2024

Sainsbury's Riverblock Marlborough Sauvignon, Taste the Difference

If easy-drinking Marlborough Sauvignon is your thing, then this is for you. The freshness is immediately impressive, and the zesty tropical hints are delicious. It can cleanse the palate but also has enough body to stand up to heartier dishes too. You’ll need 3 for the big discount, but if Marlborough Sauvignon is your go to then this won’t let you down.

ABV: 13%
Find here: £10.50 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

Sainsbury's Jurançon Sec, Taste the Difference

Jurançon sits in the sun-drenched foothills of the Pyrenees and is known for indigenous grapes, like the Gros and Petit Manseng in this expression. Usually, you’ll find these make sweeter wines, and though this brings a little of that, it’s very pleasantly dry, zesty, and refreshing – think tangerine and melon. Unique and well worth a go.

Find here: £9 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

The Ned Pinot Grigio

This is a Waihopai Valley Pinot Grigio that stands out from the usual style. Behind the seductive salmon blush colouring is an expression brimming with stone fruits. It’s rich, and full-bodied, but the twist that comes is with the lingering minerality that we love. It’s the perfect time to try whilst it’s under a tenner.

19 Crimes Chard

We’ve featured 19 Crimes a few times because of their consistent quality, and their Chardonnay is yet another wine that delivers. Oak ageing means the melon and stone fruits come through with richness, but the stand out trait is the buttery, full body that makes this a must try at this price point.

Size: 750ml

Most Wanted Regions Sauvignon Blanc Rueda

This is a benchmark Spanish Sauvignon Blanc from Castilla y Léon. The nose is aromatic with green apples and grass, the palate is brimming with gooseberry and a little kiwi, before a pleasant kick of citrus acidity on the finish. Nom!

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts February 2024

Silver Moki Sauvignon Blush

If you’ve never taken to rosé then we urge you to give this a go, particularly if you’re not keen on the sweetness. This delivers much of the crisp Sauvignon Blanc and slicing citric acidity. Indulgent peach and strawberry offset this harmoniously, but they’re subtler than most rosé expressions. It’s the sophistication and elegance that blows our minds with this bottle though. Worth double the price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Madame F Rosé Wine

There is so much to applaud with this rosé. First, of course, the snazzy frog. Second, its collaboration with a charity trying to create the first LGBTQ+ museum. And thirdly, the liquid. The Grenache and Shiraz combination brings vibrant crowd-pleasing red berries, and there’s enough citrus acidity to make it food-friendly too. Try a glass with seafood paella.

*UPDATED: 20/02/2024*

Morrisons Red Wine Discounts February/March 2024

The Wanderer Malbec

As beautiful as its Day of the Dead design, this San Juan Malbec is a real smooth operator. The grapes that go into this wine are from vineyards once abandoned but now thriving. Picked late, they deliver so many luscious ripe notes with intoxicating intensity to them. Think silky black fruits and woody spice. More generous than expected.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £10 (usually £13)

Barossa Ink Shiraz

This is a fantastic supermarket pickup. It makes great use of grapes from across the whole Barossa area to get the most intense and sophisticated flavours. Oak ageing delivers mocha notes and brooding, rich blackberries and plums. One thing we’ve noticed with this is that giving it an hour to breathe really lets it sing that extra note. Serve with steak or hearty meats and enjoy.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £11)

Roodeberg Black

Morrisons had this South African red on offer a while ago, and we’re glad to see it back under a tenna… even though it’s worth more. It’s a red blend starring mostly Pinotage, a grape that’s undergone a great revival in South Africa. Packed with dark fruits, there’s also a slight char to the oak that works a treat. Rich with good structure, this is an easy-drinking gem perfect for meat dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £12.50)

Lindemans Gentlemans Collection Cabernet Sauvignon

Henry J Lindeman moved from England to the Hunter Valley in Australia in 1843, when he opened his own winery to bring refined wines to the colony. Purple hues amongst a bright red colour and violet aromas welcome you in, before a black fruit flood. Chocolate and oak round things off nicely, and overall, this has the feel of a much more expensive Napa wine.  

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Morrisons Rosé Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Freixenet Italian Rosé

We’ve all had our eyes caught by this signature bottle, but if you haven’t tried it then know that the contents actually represent cracking value. An Italian Corvina and Garganega blend, it’s soft and seductive on the nose before unveiling refreshing cranberry, strawberry and grapefruit notes. Super fresh, super fruity and balanced to a tee.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Crocodile Diamante Rose

Pale, fresh and crisp, this yummy number brings the signature Southern Rhone Valley style. Rather than intense in your face flavours, its red fruit notes are delicate and clean. Don’t go thinking it’s boring though, far from it, with fresh floral tones adding depth and great acidic zip making it fabulously food-friendly. Nice bottle too!

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £8 (usually £12)

Morrisons White Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Greasy Fingers Chardonnay Big and Buttery

A relatively new kid on the block, everything you need to know about this is on the label. Well, that’s not true actually because often the description doesn’t manifest, but here it most definitely does. It begins with a temptation of oaky vanilla and a green rush of pear and apple. Then, the bold, distinctly buttery flavour hits, transporting this Aussie Chard to something closer to Cali styles. Creamy, indulgent and made to pair with delicious, greasy food.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Squealing Pig Sauvignon Blanc

If you’re after superb Sauvignon in the classic Marlborough style, then this bottle is perfect – simplicity and excellence. A crisp, zesty nose begins, unfolding to reveal fresh tropical fruits like pineapple, subtler green apple, vivid citrus, and a weighty mineral touch. Reliably dreamy with many food dishes, expertly rounded and with decent depth to dive into.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £11)

Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc White Wine

This is another Sauvignon Blanc unashamedly fully embracing the signature Marlborough profile. Sunstones absorb sunshine during the day, so that during the colder nights, the vines get to stay warmer – neat. The nose? Gooseberry with some florality? The palate? Acidic tropical fruit with herbaceous depth. The finish? Steely minerality. Subtle, surprisingly complex, and delicious.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £10)

Kendermanns Riesling Spätlese

Under £6 for this? Yes please. Spätlese means this Riesling is a late harvest resulting in increased residual sweetness. However, as is Riesling’s genius, it retains crisp acidity making it the ultimate food-friendly champ. The freshness in this bottle is to be admired, particularly when served chilled. It’s a fruity gem that does its job so well, and is one of the best value bottles in any supermarket.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 9%
Find here: £5.75 (usually £7.50)

*UPDATED: 01/02/2024*

Morrisons Red Wine Discounts February 2024

Greasy Fingers Luscious Red

Luscious Red is exactly that and has become a regular on supermarket shelves. It’s a lovely blend of Aussie Shiraz (rich fruits) and Grenache (fantastic sweetness) delivered super smoothly. A real crowd pleaser.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Diablo Black Cabernet Sauvignon

From the Maule Valley in Chile comes this incredible Cab Sav. A combo of French and American oak maturation has carved out intense and inky depths. Think darker woods, vanilla, rich fruits, and a hint of tobacco. It’s so smooth too. A deal with the Devil has never tasted this good.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £11)

Wise Wolf Cabernet Sauvignon

This is probably the best Languedoc-Roussillon red in UK supermarkets. The bottle stands out from the off because not only is it more akin to a premium olive oil, its also 95% recycled. Inside, it’s big and ripe with great viscosity, blackberries, blackcurrant and plum. The oak comes through pleasantly too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £12)

Morrisons The Best Primitivo

Easy-drinking Primitivo here that will put smiles on faces if you’re into sweeter reds. Dried fruits and ripe dark fruits fill out a lush palate that feels pure and soft. There’s a gorgeous tang that balances everything out too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7.50 (usually £8.75)

Morrisons Rosé Wine Discounts February 2024

Castillo D'ibiza Rose

We love a standout bottle, and this curvaceous Rosé is very easy on the eye, with its inviting, salmon pink hue. It’s a Spanish creation from Pernod Ricard, using Garnacha and Tempranillo grapes to deliver a tarter, more refreshing Rosé than you might be used to. Citrus sing and minerality co-star and perhaps even steal the scenes from the strawberry, making it a wonderful food-friendly companion.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £10 (usually £12.50)

Mirabeau Forever Summer Rose

Maison Mirabeau are one of our favourite names in Rosé with fantastic output from their sun-kissed vineyards. The summery nose is enough to transport you to, well, summer, with seductive nectarine and rose. The first sip reveals a crisp and dry red berry symphony with refreshing acidity and for under £10, it’s hard to beat.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Morrisons White Wine Discounts February 2024

Workshop Mastercraft Sauvignon Blanc

This Marlborough Sauvignon punches well and truly above its price point with £3 off, and it’s so easy to love that you won’t be disappointed. You can expect a rounded profile with quite intense gooseberries and peach, more tropical passion fruit and some delightful herbaceous grassy hints too. Zest, sweetness, peppery spice – good stuff.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £11.50)

Freixenet Pinot Grigio

You’ll probably recognise the glamorous Freixenet bottle by now, but if you’ve never tried it then know that it’s substance as well as style. From the idyllic Garda vineyards comes this drop of Italian suns hine, harmonising crisp, bright citrus as well as subtle florality and light orchard fruits.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Kendermanns Riesling Spätlese

This Spatlese Riesling delivers that residual late harvest sweetness, and of course the crisp acidity. It feels exceptionally fresh, which is part of the reason we picked it to pair with Chinese food earlier in the week. It’s so food friendly and surprisingly elegant. Serve chilled and it’s a winner.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 9%
Find here: £5.75 (usually £7.50)

19 Crimes Chardonnay

The appearance of The Uprising and The Banished on previous Supermarket Wine Bargains is a testament to the quality of 19 Crimes, and that’s no different with Chard. Stone fruits, melon and creamy oak come through opulently and with delicious richness. It’s not your classic Chardonnay and has a really full body and buttery feel. A must try at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9)

We are always updating our Supermarket Wine Bargains on the website for most of the UK supermarkets, so keep your eyes peeled for more up to date, bang on the money recommendations.

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Waitrose February 2024

How about some Supermarket Wine Bargains again? This time, it’s Waitrose, who have some belting offers for February. We’ve identified four cracking reds and whites, and a couple of delicious Rosé suggestions too. Every bottle but one comes in at under a tenner, but they are worth a lot more if you ask us! Let’s go deal diving.

Waitrose Red Wines February 2024

Montidori Sangiovese

We’ve loved the value from this bottle for a while now. A portion of the grapes are dried bringing incredible, bold richness, which combined with soft spice intensity and a subtle dryness make for dark berry bliss.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £10.00)

Little Giant Barossa Shiraz

This wine should easily cost more than it does, even at full price (but don’t tell Waitrose). It’s seductively smooth and brimming with delicious dark fruits and layers of warm spice. It just feels so, well, giant. Fantastically jammy Ozzy Shiraz .

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £12.99)

Paul Mas Réserve Languedoc Rouge

From the renowned Jean-Claude Mas vineyards in Languedoc is this dry, easy-drinking red. It throws up blackberry jam, oaky vanilla, dark chocolate and a pleasant minerality for depth, and serves as an ideal candidate for those midweek Italian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £7.49 (usually £9.99)

Zalze Shiraz - Mourvèdre Viognier

With £3 off this South African gem, it’s the perfect time to give it a go. The rich spice of forest fruits and blackberries comes to the fore, but then the French oak is integrated smoothly in support of the fruits. The Viognier rounds off the finish nicely too. Really well-rounded and balanced red.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £6.66 (usually £9.99)

Waitrose Rosé Wines February 2024

Esprit de Buganay Côtes de Provence Rosé

Hailing from slap bang in the middle of the Côtes de Provence is this traditional expression. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah with a dash of structure from Cab Sav come together for a fresh fruity nose. Beyond that, dreamy smoothness with subtle strawberry, peach, and raspberry. Light, dry and fruity and a joy to pair with. A must try for under £10.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £14.99)

Barefoot Pink Moscato

If you’re after a crowd pleasing Rosé for a top-notch price then look no further. A red berry parade invites the nose, continuing on the palate with a fruity sweetness that hits the spot. The touch of sherbet creaminess is a delight too. As the pink stuff goes, it is towards the sweeter end but if you like that, then you’ll love this.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 9%

Find here: £6.49 (usually £7.49)

Waitrose White Wines February 2024

Zenato Villa Flora Lugana Veneto

This Lake Garda beauty brings serious acidity from the Turbiana grapes, coming through with zippy citrus and subtle stone fruits. But there’s more to this white, because not only is it fresh and smooth, but it’s also got some curious earthy undertones and floral hints. No wonder the reputation of this wine is flourishing.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £10.99 (usually £12.99)

Ara Single Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Great New Zealand Sauvignon here with more going on than usual. You can expect a slightly dryer profile than usual, with more aromatic floral notes. Think juicy fruits with grapefruit, peach, and lychee. But there are also delicious, perfumed notes, touches of green grass and crunchy acidity. Wonderful.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £7.99 (usually £10.99)

Paolo Leo Fiano del Salento IGP

What a lovely southern Italian grape Fiano is, with rich historic roots. Nowadays, it delivers exquisite fruity freshness. Here that’s a huge kick of citrus and grapefruit, supported by loftier orchard fruits. Balanced, rich and complex with a welcome mineral touch to the finish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £7.99 (usually £10.99)

Puklavec & Friends Sauvignon Blanc Pinot Grigio

Over to Slovenia now for an interesting dry white. It’s a family-owned winery, with the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio grapes handpicked. Fruity and lively, the citrus is stealing the show. Subtler tropical notes like mango and papaya linger too. An intriguing try from a less common wine nation.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.79 (usually £9.79)

*UPDATED - JANUARY 18TH 2024*

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts January 2024

La Masseria Del Borgo Primitivo Manduria

This Puglia red is stocked full of dark berries – think blackcurrants and black cherries, richly delivered right through to a very long finish. It really is rich, not a million miles away from some Tawny Ports, but it’s so satisfying and delicious.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £11 (usually £12.50)

Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento

The Sangiovese grapes used here are hand-picked and slow-dried, creating a fabulous easy-drinking, jammy richness. Blackberry, vanilla and cherry intertwine, but there’s enough acidity slicing through too, making it a wonderful companion for heavier Italian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Piccini Memoro

You may already know this Italian red because it has established itself as a bargain amongst the UK supermarkets… and even more so at this price. It balances full-bodied plum, black cherry and vanilla with warm oak and subtle tobacco but retains a lightness too somehow. A cosy, loveable winter wine if ever there was one.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7.25 (usually £8.75)

Apothic Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine

Cabernet and Zinfandel combine in this American red, plush with up-front dark fruits, and good oaky structure. The texture is probably what stands out most in this wine because the smoothness is absolutely to die for. So moreish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts January 2024

Yealands Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

We love shouting about this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc because it completely deserves it. The pretty label pops on the shelf, and the liquid inside pops even more. It’s bright and bold, with tropical passionfruit, mango and kiwi at the fore, bitter grapefruit tang, and a lovely minerality. Just incredible for under a tenna.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £11.50)

Rocca Murer Pinot Grigio Trentino

This straw-coloured Trentino beauty brings a mineral lightness to its fruit of peach and apples, and a crispness throughout every sip. Accompanied by the undertones of citrus and grassy tones, we recommend it with food such as shellfish, mushrooms or mellow vegetarian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Diablo Golden Chardonnay Chile

This a distinctive and seductive Chilean Chardonnay that’s well worth picking up. You can expect tasteful balance, with buttery creamy notes, tropical passion fruit and pineapple, as well as little touches of smoke and stone towards the end. The flavours are unexpected, but it’s delivered delicately and supremely well put together.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Sturmwolken Riesling

The fresh, zesty lime stands out in this vibrant off dry Riesling. Sweetness is swept away by bright lemon, grapefruit tang and minerally stone fruit. It will hold its flavour against spicy foods, but also holds off the acidity just enough to remain enjoyable flying solo. Yummy.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £7 (usually £8)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts January 2024

Rocca Murer Pinot Grigio Rosato

For breezy midweek drinking, this Rocca Murer Rosé delivers exactly what’s required and more. The seductive bouquet blossoms into sunny peach sweetness alongside crunchy red apple. As is vital when it comes to the pink stuff, the tang and sweetness is poised to precision.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

La Terrasse Rosé Pays d'Oc

The legendary wine wizard Jean-Claude Mas nursed this pale pink gem to the bottle, and every sip tastes masterfully made. The rich strawberry is luscious, the pear and apple are crisp, and the faintest waft of lemon peel provides a zesty nudge. If you like your Rosé delicate and refreshing, then you’ll fall in love with this.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Wine Discounts January 2024

Silver Moki Sauvignon Blush

A bit different, this is a Rosé interpretation of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. As you might expect, it retains the fresh crispness of white wine and great citric bite. But then comes silky, lush floral strawberry and ripe peach. Admittedly, they’re subtler than they are in most Rosé, but the zesty balance struck up is magical, and it feels like it should be way pricier (but don’t tell Sainsbury’s!)

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Île-de-Beauté Rosé

Four grapes (Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Grenache, Vermentinu and Syrah) layer up this Corsica Rosé, that comes out towards the dryer end of the pink spectrum. The delicate bouquet on the nose blossoms into ripe currants and berries, with a touch of soft peach, and all before some warm pink pepper on the finish. If you’re a red or white drinker usually, then this may well win you over.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

*UPDATED - JANUARY 10TH 2024*

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts January 2024

Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva Douro DOC

This deep Portuguese red makes great use of the Douro region surrounding it by finishing in Vintage Port barrels for 12 months. The result is refined spice and elegant black fruits, as well as a lingering, velvety finish. For £10, there are few reds better at remaining nuanced but also bold and imposing.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £11.50)

Diablo Dark Red

Despite the devilish bottle, this is heaven in a bottle. It’s one of those wines that is memorable from the off, plush with ocean deep fruity flavours – think damson, cherry, and blackberry. The hints of dark chocolate and oaky vanilla add a lusciousness, and it’s totally understandable why this Chilean beauty is rated so highly. Compulsory purchase at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Carnivor Zinfandel

Carnivor is everything you want from Zinfandel, and as you will have guessed, the perfect meaty accompaniment. Lodi, California has built a reputation for hard hitting, well-structured Zinfandel styles, and this delivers on that. Sumptuously rich cherry and blackberry jam floods the mouth for an indulgent red that will stun on the dinner table.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Journey's End Spekboom Syrah

Not only do they make cracking wine, but Journey’s End have also been busy planting Spekboom, or Elephant Bush because of its incredible CO2 absorption rate. But, back to the bottle, which is punching well above the price point. Velvety tannins and spiced dark fruits stand out from this Syrah, but there’s also a savoury side to discover, with black olives and smoky oak. Mightily impressive.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts January 2024

Freixenet Pinot Grigio

Hailing from the glorious vineyards of Garda, this is a proper sip of Italian sunshine. Each sip is soothing, crisp and dry, with delicate fruity hints of pear, citrus and apple playing off one another, as well as aromatic honey florality. Top notch Pinot.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Elia Cotes de Gascogne

A wonderful expression of Plaimont’s signature Colombard grape Elisa is all about vibrancy and aroma. Imagine a great New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with those tropical touches and crisp orchard fruits, but also grassy, floral notes. Light, fresh and loveable.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 9%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.50)

PepperBox Chardonnay

This is a big Aussie beauty, delivering a hug of buttery vanilla alongside loftier tropical mango and apricot notes. It isn’t too oaky and needs to be served chilled – then it’s a dream. It can’t be faulted with this price tag.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Sainsbury's Coolwater Bay Marlborough Sauvignon, Taste the Difference

How about this for a reliable weekly Marlborough Sauvignon? The zest comes through in a big, delicious way, as do hints of melon, lychee, and citrus. The freshness is eyebrow raising, but there’s balance with herby undertones and mineral notes to round it off. It would sing with seafood for sure.
