Shoppers of Waitrose, listen up. April and May have some incredible wine bargains including Rosé, whites, and reds. The best thing is all the wines except one are below £10 but taste way more expensive. You’ve got till the 7th May to pick up some bottles, so let’s begin with some tantalising reds…
Waitrose Red Wines April/May 2024
Terre di Faiano Organic Primitivo
Terre di Faiano are usually a great source of value on the shelves and this Southern Italian Primitivo is no different. The palate is soft with a crisp bite to the finish, taking you on an easy-drinking journey of dark berries, oaky vanilla, and chocolate. Pizza and this sounds like perfection.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £10.99)
Grant Burge Barossa Ink Shiraz
We love seeing this wine on offer. A wide net of Barossa grapes, once decanted for an hour, deliver so much intense depth of flavour. Brooding blackberry, ripe plums and indulgent mocha notes dominate. Serve with hearty meats and it sings.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.89 (usually £10.99)
Fairview Barrel-Aged Pinotage
From the Western Cape comes this full-bodied, plummy Pinotage. This grape has come into a life of its own over the past couple of decades, and what a fine example of that this is. The oak ageing imparts the perfect touch of spice, and it retains a light smoothness that is moreish.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £8.79 (usually £10.99)
Marques de Calatrava Reserva
Spanish Tempranillo here carrying heavy oak influence, but it works a treat. Cherry and plum rise and fall together amongst a silky-smooth backdrop and earthier, leathery notes. Simple but excellent.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £6.99 (usually £8.99)
Waitrose Rosé Wines April/May 2024
Eminence de Bijou
The aromas jump up from the blush pink and fill the nose with delicate summer fruits. The first reveals the weight and intense hit of strawberry alongside subtle herbal hints. Vanilla rounds things off as well as a surprising touch of spice. Really satisfying and a bargain at this price.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £10.99 (usually £14.99)
Cellier de Rouffignac Coteaux d'Aix En Provence
This is a deliciously elegant Provence Rosé. The ripe strawberries are the star of the show, flanked by the aromatics of lychee and elderflower. It’s on the dry and crisp side as Rosés go and brings super impressive complexity. Oh, and it’s organic!
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.99 (usually £13.99)
Waitrose White Wines April/May 2024
The Ned Pinnacle Sauvignon Blanc
This signature Waihopai Valley Sauvignon brings tonnes of citric aromatics and ripe white peach notes. It’s juicy, bright and pungent with New Zealand character. Just great for a tenna.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £12.99)
The Ned Pinot Grigio
Sticking with The Ned – what a deal this is below £9. It stands out a little from the usual Waihopai style, bringing salmon blush and rich, full-bodied stone fruits. But there’s also mineral depth lingering too. Interesting and well worth picking up.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.49 (usually £10.99)
Amandla Sauvignon Blanc
This is a great South African brand headed up by Pray Dlamini, a new superstar of wine. It’s bursting with lemon zest, tropical fruits of pineapple and passion fruit and incredible freshness. It’s much less green tasting than most Sauvignon but that makes a nice change.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.99 (usually £9.99)
Paul Mas Réserve Languedoc Blanc
From the renowned Jean-Claude Mas vineyards in Languedoc comes this floral gem. Juicy peach offsets vivid lemon, and there’s a slight oily texture that’s really nice. At the end, minerality creeps in too so it’s then total package.
Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £7.49 (usually £9.99)
