Mark Pardoe MW, Buying Director of Berry Bros. & Rudd, was in charitable mood last week. Not only did he put up a particularly mouth–watering selection of wines, he also agreed to lop a full 15 per cent off the list price.
That Mark was positively glowing with bonhomie is thanks to the fact that Berrys’ had just been crowned 2014 Wine Merchant of the Year at the International Wine Challenge, praised for its ‘sensational list’. Well done guys!
The 2013 Constantia Glen Two (1) is a classy blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Constantia, near Stellenbosch, boasts just eight producers of which Constantia Glen is the newest. Soft, creamy, aromatic and stylish in a dry white Bordeaux kind of way, it’s perfect with garlic and tarragon roast chicken. £14.41, down from £16.95.
I’ve long admired the 2010 Le Soula Blanc (2).
