Gentil (Riesling/Muscat/Pinot Blanc) 2017, Meyer-Fonne Alsace France

£15.48

It’s all about the details at Meyer-Fonné, with an emphasis on tradition and respect for terroir. The winery and family home is in the village of Katzenthal, known for its distinctive granite soils. Meyer is a master at the art of blending and astutely applies this skill in mixing the wine from various parcels into complex, balanced cuvées. He also believes in raising his wines on fine lees in large, older foudres, as was the tradition in Alsace. All of Meyer’s bottlings are characterised by stunning aromatics and a signature backbone of minerality and nerve. 50% Riesling, 25% Muscat, 20% Pinot Blanc, 5% Sylvaner and Pinot Gris This is a distinguished Edelzwicker blend, containing at least 50% of the ‘noble’ varieties of Riesling and Muscat, with Pinot Blanc making up the balance. The wine tends to be a blend of the same proportions and parcels each vintage. With just two grams of residual sugar, the wine is technically dry. Very delicate nose. Faintly floral with the Muscat very discreet and no obvious single varietal character. Lovely and delicate to the palate with a notable Riesling-like linearity. Floral and delicate. Roast chicken (or Quorn) with mashed potatoes is just saying 'yes please!' Or why not spice things up with jerk chicken rice and peas... Vegan

Hunter’s Pinot Gris 2020, Marlborough New Zealand

£12.98

Located in the picturesque Wairau Valley in the province of Marlborough, this family owned vineyard was founded in 1983 by Jane Hunter and her late husband Ernie. Since those early years, Jane had been owner, viticulturist and managing director of what has become one of New Zealand’s, most established wineries, Hunter’s Wines. The fruit for this wine was grown at two of their vineyards in the Rapaura region of Marlborough. The grapes were harvested at three different maturity levels in order to add complexity of the finished wine. The pressed juice was fermented in stainless steel and old French oak barrels before being blended back together for a brief period of lees ageing. Oxidative juice handling techniques were employed to minimise phenolic uptake. The nose of this Pinot Gris is very aromatic showing fresh cut green apple and spice. The palate is soft and dry to taste. The wine has many layers of flavour due to the varied ripeness of the grapes. This is a complex Pinot Gris that will age well over the next 5 years. It's a must with octopus with Thai dressing, Singapore crab, spicy aubergine, feta & pomegranate, Tofu and mixed veg Thai stir fry or Jamaican chicken curry
