Just before O’Briens’ annual wine sale ends, on Sunday, here are two very tasty picks from its range that have been reduced to €12.95.
Les Secrets de Sophie Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2018, €12.95 (down from €16.95)
A light, refreshing Sauvignon, with subtle aromas, zippy, clean green-apple fruits, and a crisp, mouth-watering finish. Perfect with the last of the summer salads; fresh goat's cheese, tomatoes or light pasta dishes would all do nicely.
St Hallett Gamekeeper's Shiraz Grenache Touriga 2015, €12.95 (down from €19.95)
Medium rather than full bodied, and now showing a pleasant maturity, with soft, ripe raspberry and strawberry fruits, a subtle spiciness and rounded tannins on the finish. Pair it with grilled red meats or a beef casserole.
