BRISSONNET ROUGE

Description & Press Reviews:
This Spanish Red wine has a very pronounced nose with good ripe fruit. A very powerful fruity wine on the front palate which is good to sit back and relax with.

A powerful fresh and aromatic wine, concentrated with no acidity, its cherry red colour with violet bloom are typical of its youth. Pronounced nose with good ripe fruit. This is a very pleasant everyday drinking wine for when friends pop in unexpectedly. This really is a must for your more Tomato based dishes. It's great with Pizza, Pasta Bakes and Meat enhanced Pasta meals. Try it with Baked Potato and Cheese as well as Cold Meats. Enhances Chicken dishes nicely and is the perfect partner with Indian, Thai and Chinese meals due to its lightness and fruitiness. A real hit with the more convenience type food dishes.

"Smaller wine merchants have reacted more quickly to customers’ need for less alcoholic wines. Nearly half of Bordeaux Undiscovered wines have an alcoholic strength of 12% or under. Owner and ex-chef Nick Stephens believes “higher alcohol wines fight with the food”. “You end up not enjoying the food or the wine. A wine with lower alcohol levels tastes fruitier and it brings out the flavours of many foods.”

Nick enjoys drinking his wine as well as selling it - “I want to enjoy wine: I don’t just want a glass, I want three” - but finds it difficult to drink more than one glass of highly alcoholic wine as they “burn as they go down”. “To me drinking high alcohol wines are like drinking spirits: they numb the mouth and close the taste buds down.” He adds “Would you drink scotch with your roast sirloin of beef?”

A light and fruity wine that still has enough body to cope with most red meat dishes.
