White Wine

Chenin Blanc, Brick Road 2006  -  South Africa
Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc - a fruity and reasonably weighty palate dominated by waxy, melony fruit.  Dry.

Pinot Grigio, Mirabello 2008  -  Italy
A fresh, dry white with gentle floral and citrus aromas.  Crisp and delicate on the palate with lightly honeyed fruit flavours, very easy drinking.

Le Vin de Levin Organic White 2008 - Loire, France
Crisp blend of Sauvignon, Chenin and Chardonnay made from 
organic vines. Glaswegian Hotelier David Levin is the man 
behind this zingy, superb white.

Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough Matua 2006/7 - New Zealand
Aromatic and full flavoured.  Sensational proof of Kiwi mastering of the Sauvignon Blanc grape in the Marlborough region.

Rioja Blanco, Montecillo 2006 - Spain
Crisp, fresh white Rioja is becoming increasingly popular here in the UK.  This example comes from Bodegas Montecillo, one of the oldest wineries in the region. Dry, fresh and balanced, partners well with seafood and pasta.

Richelieu Colombard/Ugni 2008 - South of France
Dry, Vin de Pays white from a blend of grapes - not an oak barrel in sight.

Chardonnay, Septima 2007 - Argentina
Awash with tropical fruit on the nose and palate, this is a flavoursome Mendoza Chardonnay packing a fruit sundae  laden, ripe palate.
