Glug, glug, glug: three very different wines for you seduce. Photography: ObserverCastle of Mascaraas Madiran, France 2002 (￡ 12, reduced to ￡6, Tesco) Dry tannins, entering the language as a French Rugby Union player attendance in a Scrum, are the dominant feature of wines made from tannat in Madiran in southwestern France Gascon. And there are lots of tannins in red mature of this bargain, even if time has softened and compound, as well as providing a benefit of tasty truffly dark cherry fruit. In all cases, served with duck, that they would just melt.
King Valley Vermentino, Victoria, Australia 2012 (￡ 9, Asda) Trendy white Mediterranean vine of the day vermentino, widely planted in Italy and the South of France (where it is known as Rolle), has a happy gift to remain fresh and light, even in the hottest climates, which perhaps explains why he is prisoner Australia, too. This Victorian example - to Asda by a family business, DeBortoli, with good Italian roots - is bright, lively and pungent, with herbs and a juicy pear.
White Lammershoek LAM, Swartland, South Africa 2012 (￡ 12.95, winedirect.co.uk) Lammershoek is one of a few exciting producers working in the area of Swartland of South Africa, who are not afraid to experiment, that this either with unusual varietals (they make a remarkable dry white Hungarian Harslevelu usually found only in sweet wines of Tokaj) or methods of vinification. I liked pretty much everything that I tried their, this graceful and insinuating little alcoholic dry white blend is a medium well price in their delightfully varied portfolio.
