Two light wines for chilled summer bites
Two lighter, summery
wines
from
SuperValu
this week. Villa Maria is part of one of the largest producers in
New Zealand
, making consistently good wines at every price level, including the Marlborough Sauvignon.
The Cuvée Dissenay comes from the Languedoc in south France. The cooler parts of this region are proving a great place to produce well-priced wine from the Burgundian pinot noir grape.
If you are a fan of rosé wine, SuperValu also has the lightly fruity, refreshing La Petite Perrière Rosé and an old favourite, the lightly sparkling medium-dry Mateus Rosé, both for €8 a bottle.
