Welcome...
...to our March magazine. We’re hoping to
put a spring in your step and awaken your
taste buds with our cracking selection of
great-value great-value reds, whites and rosés. Not
forgetting sparkling wine – a must-have must-have
with Mother’s Day coming up!
We’ve got a whole host of new wines to
tell you about. We’re always looking to
improve our range and we’re delighted to
introduce six stunning new wines,
from some of South Africa’s most exciting
wine regions, discovered on a recent visit
by Laura. Then there’s exciting news about
the magnificent 2009 Bordeaux vintage
– we’ve got some of the very best! They’re
not cheap but we bought the wines en
primeur so they’re really great value.
There’s a spring food and wine-matching
feature, we turn the spotlight on Italy and
go Behind The Label with an in-depth look
at a classic Cahors. And last but not least
you’ll find an interview with, and an
exclusive case from, legendary Australian
winemaker Tim Adams – a real treat!
Cheers!
