Wine for the Weekend

It's Friday and you've had a busy and stressful week.......... you're thinking about the weekend and what you will get up to. Here at AW Headquarters we often discuss what wine we will be tasting at the weekend (I know it's a hard life!), and with the seasonal change in the air our tastes have been changing too.

Spicy reds and oaked whites are the first styles that spring to mind, and below we have a selection from our Warehouse which we think are the perfect Autumn drinkers.

Recently recommended by Jancis Robinson, the Cuvee Balthazar Syrah from Pierrick Harang is full of blackberries, blackcurrants, licquorice and a touch of violets. Full of seasonal flavours, this wine is the perfect choice for enjoying after a long walk in the countryside.

Next up is an award winning wine from acclaimed wine makers at Simonsig, South Africa. Their Chenin avec Chene is a wine with bags of character. Translating as 'Chenin with oak' flavours of honey and baked apples dominate with a refreshing citrus twist at the end. Delicious!!!

 

£14.99 a bottle

Another intriguing white wine which we recommend for this time of year is the quirky Furmint from Royal Tokaji, Hungary. Made from the native Furmint grape, this wine is becoming increasingly more popular. Subtle apricot and honey with a delicious mineral backbone show the delicate and complex flavours.

 Chill out with a glass of warming wine and enjoy the weekend - you've earned it!
