Radio WM – two from Slurp

hofmannHofmann Riesling Trocken ‘Vom Roten Stein’ Niersteiner 2014

 

Slurp £12.95 (from £14.95)

 

For TRY January, I urge you to buy a Riesling, this Riesling in fact. It’s dry and jam-packed full of exotic aromas and flavours. Smell passion-fruit, papaya and mango; in the taste, the feisty acidity it’s more like green apples and pears. It’s medium-bodied with long, lasting flavours.

 

Food match: Great on its own or try with Chinese or Thai dishes, tempura and also delicate fish dishes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

zorzalZorzal Terroir Unico Malbec 2014

Slurp £9.95 (from £11.95)

 

Argentinian Malbec often over delivers and this one does it in spades. Richly expressive – dark fruits, cinnamon, liquorice and coffee – there’s a satiny mouthfeel which gives a classiness as well as that Friday evening feel good factor. Perfect for a snowy night in.

 

Food match: Chilli Con Carne, Moussaka, Venison
