Waitrose Wine Recommendations for Easter Sunday
Following on from last month’s article about our Wine Specialist Neale Jefferies, this
month we have recommendations from Neale’s Product Advisors Emma Marshall
and Richard Allen. During 2013 Neale assisted Emma and Richard in completing
their Level 2 City and Guilds Wine Product Advisor Diplomas. This has given them a
broader understanding of the world wine regions, different wine styles and flavours.
So, for Easter this year, Emma will be enjoying
a cold dressed poached salmon (from Waitrose
Entertaining). Her wine of choice is the Astrolabe
Sauvignon Blanc, £16.99. The grapes in this wine
are sourced from four different vineyard sites in
Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. Each site
adds its own character and personality
to the blend, giving an intense aroma of
lemongrass and lime, with elderflower.
On the palate is a
cocktail of white
peach, gooseberry
and an intense
long citrus, herbal,
mineral finish.
Brown Brothers orange flora Muscat as an
accompaniment, £6.99. This wine is unique to
Brown Brothers, the orange Muscat has the
aroma and palate of orange marmalade and the
flora adds colour and texture.
Why not pop into our store on
Thursdays and Fridays when we like
to open an unusual bottle or new
line for you to try! We’d welcome
the opportunity of sharing our wine
knowledge with you.
