A great white, a juicy red and two tasty prices

Two great bottles on offer until tomorrow plus details of wider promotions starting (and ending) this week at the major high street retailers.

2020 Gable & Grace Chenin Pinot Grigio (£5.99 – instead of £7.99 until 21 September – at Waitrose)

While this South African white is unmistakably Chenin dominant, it still contains typical Pinot Grigio components (such as apricot, pineapple and kiwi fruit influences).

All those are attractively supported here by a touch of honeyed sweetness along with concluding citrus fruit elements that provide lively, bright and fresh acidity.

2020 Zurriago Malbec (£6 – instead of £8 until 21 September – at Sainsbury’s)

Malbec of course was originally a French grape. It has been used for generations in Cahors and for blends in Bordeaux (until largely superseded by Merlot). Nowadays though Argentina is the “go-to” place for medium-bodied, inexpensive Malbec like this.

It is a well-rounded version with balanced acidity and significant, but proportionate, tannins to underpin its ripe, sweetish blackberry and plum flavours with tobacco and white pepper elements.

The Waitrose promotion is the third to end tomorrow. This Spanish red is one to look for among the offers:

Don’t forget offers at Co-op and M&S continue for another week. See last week’s post for my picks.
