A good all rounder.
Yes, I recommend this
An inoffensive little number suited to light meals, salads or just quaffing. Light, slightly citrusy with no dry aftertaste. A very pleasant surprise for the price.

SOOOOO NICE
Yes, I recommend this
Everything about this wine worried me! It said it was £10 a bottle before discount, excellent quality, good dryness, very fresh....ideal for casual sipping....and virtually half price. Too good to be true? It wasn`t!!!!! It was wonderful. If you like something on the drier side of fruity, this is it. Unfortuneately it was reduced and had the "buy 2 cases and get an extra 25% off". needless to say its back to £10 a bottle and only 15% off for 2 cases.......too dear for me ?????

A good 'clean' Sauvignon Blanc
Yes, I recommend this
This was a fairly cheap wine and, while it does not have a strong character of its own, it has the basic character of a good sauvignon blanc and makes a very, safe wine for a fish meal or other light savoury dish. Very good value for money.

Great value
Yes, I recommend this
In effect, with the 25% off French wines and my 15% off voucher, this wine is about £3.70 a bottle and it tastes like a £10 one. I wish I'd bought much more. It has a lovely rich flavour and is perfect as an aperitif. I look forward to introducing it to my French friends.
