Crafted from Sauvignon Blanc, with a little Semillon, grown on a 10 hectare hillside plot near Fronsac. Dry & fruity - serve chilled as an apéritif, or to accompany seafood or white meats.
Guillemarine PicPoul de Pinet 2011, France £7.99 per bottle
"Will the rise and rise of Picpoul continue this summer after such a successful 2011? This certainly has juicy pears and melon aromas hinting at honey and lovely ripeness. Delicious, dry, lemony stuff with a real lemon zest freshness and good length. A good advert for the Picpoul revolution. 87 pts." (thewinegang.com, March 2012).
Heart of Stone Sauvignon Blanc 2011, Forrest Estate, NZ £8.99 per bottle
Produced by renowned NZ winemaker Forrest Estate, this is JN's most popular Sauvignon. The new 2011 vintage has just arrived! The wine is sourced from grapes grown in several distinctly different sites within Marlborough. Vibrant wine with flavours of gooseberry and passionfruit underscored by appetising, crisp acidity – lovely refreshing finish.
