Paparuda Rosé, Estate Selection 2014

This is made by the same team behind Asda’s brilliant Bradshaw wines (the Pinot Grigio is currently on offer at £4 down from its usual £6). But this one was sent to me by Tanners, a long-standing family-owned wine company. The winery, Cramele Recas, is run by an Englishman who came to Romania more than twenty years ago and they make delicious – and outrageously good value – wines. This one’s made from the indigenous Feteasca Neagra grape together with the better known Cabernet Sauvignon grape and it’s gorgeous in both colour and flavour. Fresh with racy redcurrant fruits. It’ll perk up a simple jacket & slaw supper no end.
