Wines worthy of a special mention

Anyone who saw The Sunday Times on 7th June 2009 would have seen Jane MacQuitty write up on wine blends. She went on to mention a number of wines that we sell here at Dunell's.

She wrote 'Australian winemakers are so obsessed with blending that they create multiregional blends by transporting grape varieties and wine hundreds of miles across states. One Aussie appellation, South Eastern Australia, comprises three states rolled into one: Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. The latter is home to the Barossa Valley and St Hallett’s brilliant, zesty, lemon meringue pie-stashed 2008 Poacher’s Blend, a semillon-sauvignon-riesling mix, and its red partner, the 2008 Gamekeeper’s Reserve, a hefty, clove and creosote-spiked shiraz, grenache and touriga combo. Add a few more grapes and a move to the Clare Valley and you get 2008 Pikes White Mullet, a delicious, aromatic, exotic, lime-layered white'.

Click on the images for more information. We currently have the 2007 vintages of the St Hallett wines but they are both drinking superbly and what's more, they are currently on Summer Sizzler promotion. Save yourself 20% on these wines!

The Live Magazine - Mail on Sunday 14.06.09

If you have bought The Mail on Sunday today, you will see a great article in the Live Magazine on finding cheaper alternatives to the great wine classics. On page 28 you will see that if you fancy a good Sancerre but not the price, Olly Smith (from TV's Saturday Kitchen) has chosen the Springfield Estate Special Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc 2008. He writes 'Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre revels in its fame but this South African number is like a grapefruit harnessed to the power of a F1 car - intense and powerfully zippy.'
