Shock horror! Non lidl product review

We thought we would bring our devoted readers (if we have any) a review of a non lidl product. It was a dull friday afternoon in our office, so we thought we would review the wine we were drinking. Lesley also thought it would be a good idea to review a wine outwith the lidl range for a bit of quality control.

Lesley brought in a white wine. It has been frightfully hot this week in Edinburgh, so a white wine was a bit more appropriate. The wine was called Stratum, a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. It usually retails for £7.59 a bottle - not that Lesley paid that much for it.

Sainsbury's say that:
This Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown in Marlborough. The 2005 vintage displays abundant aromas of gooseberries and capsicum on the nose. The palate is fresh and lively showing rich concentration and a long, lingering finish.


We say:
Reminiscent of freshly cut grass, and spring meadows. Very quaffable and perfect for such a hot day. A nice pasta dish or grilled fish, such as salmon, whould go well with it.

Verdict:
Fantastic! Top notch, tally ho! One would quite happily indulge in this wine again. Maybe a bit expensive, especially for those of us used to Lidl prices, but one should treat themselves once in a while.
