Bourne Mixed Case, Wine Club, September 2014

This month’s Bourne Mixed Case contains two wines from one of South Africa’s top producers; a benchmark Chenin Blanc and a fruit driven Syrah blend both made in an approachable style which characterises the wines of Swartland. Having previously been overlooked in favour of bigger neighbours such as Stellenbosch, the wines of this area are now coming into their own with Mullineux very much leading the way.
Then from the Northern hemisphere, there’s a raspberry fruited Valpolicella. Perfect with tomato based pasta dishes for easy, midweek dining, I enjoyed it recently with homemade pizza. 

£120 per case, comprising 2 each of 6 wines: 3 whites and 3 reds.

This mixed case is available for delivery to Wine Club members from the week commencing 22nd September 2014.
