Decanter
A great selection of wines and ideas to celebrate National Wine Day..
We’ve chosen $50 as our top price limit, with wines at the top of the scale including the Domaine les Pallières, Les Racines, Gigondas, Rhône 2017 which is ‘packed with concentrated blackcurrant, raspberry and olive tapenade flavours’. Or the André Clouet, Grande Reserve Brut, Champagne NV which is ‘incredible value for a blanc de noirs grower Champagne from the grand cru vineyards of Bouzy,’ coming in at under $40.
However many of these wines come in at below $30, 0r even $20 – such as the Domaine La Bernarde, Les Hauts de Luc Rosé, Côtes de Provence 2019, ‘an alluring rosé which carries plenty of aromatic interest’ and only $16.99.
