Two wines from Dunnes that work well with salads

Marlborough sauvignon
is one of our favourite wines and with good reason. Coming from grapes grown in the cool maritime climate of New Zealand, the wines are an irresistible combination of clean ripe fruit and zesty lime acidity. Nautilus is one of the top estates in the region.
Brouilly is one of the top 'crus' or villages in Beaujolais and produces some of the finest wines. As with most Beaujolais it supple and fruity, the perfect summer wine that pairs very nicely with a wide range of foods. The wine below is from a single vineyard.
Nautilus Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Nautilus Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Benchmark Marlborough sauvignon with lifted herbal aromas, lightly textured mango, lemon curd and lime zest. Very keenly priced. This would make a great al fresco summer sipping wine or enjoy it with seasonal salads.

Medium to full-bodied with very moreish concentrated blackcurrant and dark cherry fruits. Fantastic value for money at €15 a bottle. This would go with a wide variety of foods, including most cheese, charcuterie, roast ham or pork. Try it with a salade Lyonnaise.
