Two New Zealand wines from Lidl that don't compromise on quality
Lidl offer several Marlborough sauvignon, reflecting the popularity of the wine in Ireland. The Deluxe and Summerhouse are both good, but so too is the Cimarosa, and it costs a euro less. Pinot noir is the most popular red grape in New Zealand, evidence of how well it performs in the cool but sunny maritime climate. It is unusual to see one from Hawke's Bay, which is better known for merlot and syrah, but this is still a classic example of the style. Cimarosa Marlborough Sauvignon 2024 12.5% abv, €9.99 Benchmark Marlborough sauvignon with aromas of elderflower and mango. The palate is refreshing, with zingy lime zest and fresh pear and kiwi fruits. Enjoy by itself or with herby Asian prawns or chicken. From Lidl READ MORE Deluxe NZ Pinot Noir 2022, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand 13% abv, €11.99 Very pale in colour with juicy ripe sweet/sour raspberry and red cherry fruits. Try it with seared duck or tuna. From Lidl
