  5/6/2015 - scyrene Likes this wine: 91 Points

  I wait for this to be on offer, as although it's a standout medium-sweet wine on the high street, it's quite expensive. So intense, pure and racy, with ample acidity for the sugar. Light bodied nonetheless, scintillating and juicy. Give it to anyone who thinks low alcohol wines are boring, or pair it with chilli crayfish. [Screwcap; 10% abv; Sainsbury's, on offer at £11, regular price £14]

  Rich and luscious, but still light. Pale colour. Rich fruit taste, like mandarin juice. Medium body. Good sweetness, balanced by tangy acidity. Just a perfect wine - if only it was a little cheaper. [Screwcap; 10% abv; Sainsbury's, £14]
