The Moscato – a sparkling wine – features a rather quirky
beer bottle–type closure, called a ‘crown closure’ in the trade. Although rather sweet for some of us,
chilled and served with pudding it becomes an absolute delight.
The Chocolate Box Sauvignon/Semillon – aka ‘Zesty Chocolate’
– lives up to its name. I’m not usually a fan of Semillon, but this was a pleasant
surprise to me – a very pleasant surprise in fact. It makes a real change to
taste a so-called ‘new world’ sauvignon that is not overly gooseberry and cats’
pee-like, sorry! I have friends
who will only drink Sauvignon from New Zealand – but just wait ‘til they taste
this, I will convert them, I am sure. This is a much more subtle, gentle
flavour – and we love it!
