GUARDA RIOS SIGNATURE 2016 VINHO BRANCO


The sceptical me wonders whether this ever saw a 16 euro price tag. Which is a shame because this is a really interesting complex dry white blend. It's quite developed for a wine this young with a honeysuckle richness dominating a full bodied palate. Won't be to everyone's taste, well and truly worth 6 euro but not 16.
GRAPE VARIETIES: Antao Vaz, Arinto, Viognier and Semillon
REGION:Alentejano, Portugal
A/V: 13 % 
PRICE: 5.99 euro [reduced from 15.99]
FROM: Continente, Portugal
RATING: 4/5 from me

ARDECHE 2016 GRANDE RESERVE VIOGNIER


This is another one from SuperU's elegantly packaged range and it's a tricky one as only viognier can be. It's viscous, oily and typical viognier. You'll either love it or hate it. There's absolutely no room for mixed feelings. But at this price why wouldn't you give it a try. From the Rhone.

3.69 euro from SuperU France 
4/5 Rating from me
