House Wines of the Month
Until the end of June at North Star we have two fantastic Australian wines available to take away, or to enjoy in the deli by the bottle or the glass.
Marktree Soldier’s Block Chardonnay (2005) £7.25
‘Fresh and ripe with citrus and peach fruit flavours combining with crisp finish yet some roundness in the mouth,’ say Marktree, a description to which I’d add 'melon, fig, and a touch of creaminess.' This is a richly textured and elegant Chardonnay, perfect for summer drinking with smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, salads or summer soups such as carrot and coriander. Try it with our Chorlton Guacamole as a pre-barbeque tipple, before cracking open a bottle of the Shiraz.
Marktree Soldier’s Block Shiraz (2005) £7.25
The winery’s tasting notes describe an ‘attractively fruity Shiraz in a cooler-climate style, with concentrated mulberry and black pepper notes combining with elegance and structure on the finish.’ I love full bodied Australian red wines, and this is one of my favourites. It’s a concentrated, richly-flavoured wine. Spicy, smooth and distinctive - it’s one of the best, most elegant and complex Shiraz I’ve tasted. A perfect accompaniment to Deanna’s Eurovision Lasagne recipe.
Get two bottles of our featured wine in any combination, & we’ll knock ten percent off the price. Here comes the summer!
