March Newsletter

To toast the arrival of spring, how about trying some of these delightful vegan wines from #VeganTipples? 

Bella Modella, Pinot Grigio Blush, Colline Teatine, IGT, Italy, 2020
Wonderful to enjoy as an aperitif, or serve with a salad or risotto dish: "This delicate rosé has deliciously strawberry laced aromas followed by a seductive palate of crisp, juicy, creamy fruit. Ideal sipped chilled on a summer’s day or coupled with lightly spicy foods."
Such great value at just £8.25 a bottle. 

Or how about this Rose D`Anjou, Chateau De La Roulerie 2019?
Another wine which works perfectly as an aperitif, or serve with light meals or tomato-based pasta dishes: "The bouquet is of raspberries and strawberries, really delicious off dry style with a hint of liquorice and toffee."
Just £11.70 a bottle.

Mother's Day, 27 March

Whoever you like to celebrate with on Mother's Day, if you're hosting a special meal for that special someone in your life, we have some wonderful recommendations for you.  Or perhaps you're gifting to say 'thank you' for all that they do for you?  Again, we have you covered!  Read on for some fabulous suggestions...

La Vie En Rose, Cinsault Rose, IGP Pays D'OC, Languedoc, France, 2020 
Just check out the bottle!  It's something to behold, and will add just the right vibe to your table, or make a stunning gift.  It almost looks too good to open, but open it you must because inside you'll find just a faint blush of colour, a hint of red fruits and a fleeting brush of subtle, spicy wood.  A supremely balanced, savoury food-friendly style of wine that will help even the most hardened of sceptics see the wine through rose tinted specs.  It is really versatile too, pairing well with most vegan foods, but it is particularly good with salads and chargrilled foods. 

"La Vie en Rose is a beautifully elegant wine with a lovely pink rose petal colour. A very fresh nose deliciously scented with raspberry aromas. Complex and tasty in the mouth with notes of cherry and grenadine."
£9.99

Cielo e Terra, Casa Defra, Prosecco Rose DOC, Italy, 2020 An elegant aperitif, perfect for sipping at the barbecue if the weather is good enough to commence barbecue season!  If not, it tastes equally as good even if consumed indoors!  

"Pale rosé in colour, this elegant Prosecco has a strawberry and cherry bouquet. Fresh, balanced and persistent on the palate with a fine mousse."
£12.25

Domaine Francois Crochet, Sancerre Rose, Loire, France, 2021 is something rather special, a worthy gift for that most special person in your life.   This delightful wine pairs really well with spicy Asian food and Moroccan Tajines: "Pale Salmon pink colour, very fine notes of fresh red fruits on the nose which is continued on the well balanced palate."
£22.50

Wine of the Month...
Every Friday at 5pm, we reveal the wine awarded the highly coveted title of 'Vegan Tipples Wine of the Week'! (Check out our social media - see below - to keep up to date with the weekly selections!)  
 Here we select the very best of the best as our Vegan Tipples Wine of the Month! 

This month we present to you Paparuda Pinot Grigio 2021.

The first confirmation of the Recas domains was in 1447. Over the years the Recas grape vines have been passed between the Austrians, the Hungarians and many others. Today, the Recas winery manage the ancient vineyard.

The company is owned by Romanian and British partners and they manage a vineyard of approximately 1100ha. With such an amazing history, the Recas Winery strives to retain the special quality of the wines whilst respectfully using new and innovative technology. In less than 25 years, the Recas winery has grown from a very traditional winery to one of the most advanced wineries in the country.

This Pinot Grigio goes really well with salads, pasta and creamy vegan dishes: "This over delivers! It is textured with delicious honey, citrus fruits and ripe pears on the palate as well as the nose. The finish is clean and refreshing and deliciously Pinot Grigio."
At just £9.25 a bottle it is incredible value.  Taste it and you'll see what we mean!
