Premier Estates Wine Review Special

Posted on by

Today we have a Premier Estates Wine special. They are winning awards galore so we thought we would see what all of the fuss was about. We tried the following award-winning wines. 

Premier Estates Wine Review Special cava

Cava Brut – Silver
CAVA BRUT SPARKLING WINE

11.5% vol. 75cl

This was a delicious sparkling wine. Not all Cava is equal, but this one was fruity and refreshing. It is nice and light with a good amount of sweetness. This Cava is a double award-winner and it was my favourite out of the six we reviewed (Followed by the rosé). It has citrus and apple flavours. Perfect for parties, dessert, fish, pasta, risottos or white meat.

Premier Estates Wine Review Special californianchardonnay

CALIFORNIAN CHARDONNAY.

12.5% vol. 75cl

This one is a triple award-winner. Complex, but also refreshing, with flavours of orange and melon. It also has a very light hint of butterscotch. It is smooth and easy. Perfect for delicate food such as shellfish and fish. Would also go well with pasta or chicken.

Premier Estates Wine Review Special cheninblanc

 South Africa Chenin Blanc – Bronze

SOUTH AFRICAN CHENIN BLANC

12.5% vol. 75cl

This is a fresh wine with a good, crisp finish. The citrus aromas and flavour of lychee makes this wine interesting, but also a good all-rounder. This wine doesn’t seem to want to be placed, it leaves you taking another sip as it is complex. it is not too sweet (nor too sour), making it perfect for white meat such as pork or Asian food.

Australia Shiraz – Commended

AUSTRALIAN SHIRAZ.

13.5% vol. 75cl

This is a medium-bodied red wine. It is not one of those headache-inducing heavy red wines. It is soft and easy-to-drink. It has an abundance of spiced plum. Red wine tends to go well with red meat, like steak and lamb.

Premier Estates Wine Review Special shirazrose

 South Africa Shiraz Rosé – Commended

SOUTH AFRICAN SHIRAZ ROSÉ.

12.5% vol. 75cl

I love rosé. Although we always end up having a debate about it in the office. Some of us prefer a paler, less sweet rosé, while others like a deeper redish colour, which is generally more sweet. While I am susceptible to a Pinot Grigio Blush, I also love the darker sweet stuff. This shiraz rosé is perfect for summer. It is deep and full of berries. A refreshing wine which will go well with salmon, pasta and creamy cheese.

2016-05-15_sb_Australian-Chardonnay_1024x1024Premier Estates Wine Review Special

 Australia Chardonnay – Commended

AUSTRALIAN CHARDONNAY.

12.5% vol. 75cl

A smooth chardonnay with a long finish. Soft, smooth and tropical. This fruity wine is perfect for summer. Enjoy with fish or turkey.
