Some more wine please: April 2011
http://somemorewineplease.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. Tonight it was roast on the menu, with potatoes and spinach leaves. Usually a good meal for a red, but because of the fantastic weather, the heat, and the sun which seems to never go down up here in the north, the pick was the KWV Chardonnay. It's not as yellow as you would expect, and the smell is not as strong, but the taste is unmistakably Chardonnay. A slightly wooded dry white wine, fresh and fruity with tropical and citrus flavours. It has to however be very cold. I'm a Sout...

Some more wine please: Flat Roof Manor Shiraz Mourvèdre Viognier 2008
http://somemorewineplease.blogspot.com/2010/10/flat-roof-manor-shiraz-mourvedre.html
Sunday, October 17, 2010. Flat Roof Manor Shiraz Mourvèdre Viognier 2008. South Africa, here we come. I have a friend who always tries and finds a wine from South Africa that I haven't had. Today was another surprise from a well known wine farm in South Africa called Uitkyk, called Flat Roof Manor. The wine is named after one the Cape's three surviving, two storied, flat roofed 18th Century houses near Stellenbosch. I wrote a month ago about a wine from the Darling district North of Cape Town.

Some more wine please: Boschendal Grande Cuvée Brut Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2007
http://somemorewineplease.blogspot.com/2012/02/boschendal-grande-cuvee-brut-pinot-noir.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Boschendal Grande Cuvée Brut Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2007. It's Valentine's day so a bubbly was in order with tonight's fish soup and sour dough bread. It's cold, dark and snowing outside yet warm inside and this bubbly is very dry with a lot of flavour. 5 years old after a vintage in 2007. I imported this one myself so it's not available in Systembolaget, but it should be. It's around 150SEK and worth a try wine. Posted by Darryl de Necker. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Some more wine please: Darling Cellars Shiraz Mourvedre
http://somemorewineplease.blogspot.com/2010/08/daling-cellars-shiraz-mourvedre.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Darling Cellars Shiraz Mourvedre. Don't ask me why, but lately I've been delving back into some South African wines, especially those I haven't had before. This one from Darling Cellars falls into that category, especially with a blend of Shiraz and Mourvedre. An unusual blend, as Mourvedre is not a popular or well know grape. Variety in South Africa. It is usually used to make strong and dark red wines, as well as the odd Rosé. The grape originates from France. Places to find me.

Some more wine please: Le Donne Dei Boschi 2009
http://somemorewineplease.blogspot.com/2011/03/le-donne-dei-boschi-2009.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Le Donne Dei Boschi 2009. I'm all for sparkling wines, and experimenting with it, but this wine is too sweet for me to be taken seriously. It only has 5% alcohol content which makes me wonder what the wine maker was thinking when they created it. If you're looking for a low alcohol alternative for a sunny afternoon, then give it a try, if you don't think the price is too much. 2,7 out of 5. Very sweet with hints of berries (Cherries and Strawberries). Posted by Darryl de Necker.
