Introduction To Virgin Wines – And Some Special Offers

Simply Woman recently hitched onto the Virgin Wines trail where we sipped to our hearts content. But fear not, we’ll always pass on great wines especially when combined with refreshing gift ideas and money-off offers.

Virgin wines look set to grow – they offer Daily Deals, and also a 1005 money back guarantee. So without further ado, let’s dive in.

Seraph Reserve Sauvignon Blanc and The Black Pig Shiraz

White Seraph Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2011 – 12.5% abv

This appellation Touraine Protégé wine is a debut from the Loire Valley region of France. The wine exhibits clean melon fragrance on the nose and leave a gooseberry tang on the palate. Clean and refreshing, this wine can be drunk alone, or with white meat dishes.

Red The Black Pig Shiraz 2010– Australia 14% abv

Simply packaged, but wow did this wine pack a real punch. Expect a pungent and exotic nose reminiscent of black fruit. The heavy overtones of plum and mix perfectly with intense blackcurrant to make this a thoroughly enjoyable glug. We registered a long finish. Robust enough to pair with red meat dishes.

Les Arbousiers Rose and Prosecco Brut

Rose Les Arbousiers Rose 2011 13.0% abv

A heavier-than-blush tint – this rose from the Coteaux du Languedoc sports a nose tickled with raspberry overtones. The drinking experience delivers hints of strawberry and unusually, melon to the palate. The long finish is refreshing – not too sweet or tart. Recommended for drinking alone, without interference from cuisine.

Fizz  Prosecco Brut – La Dolci Colline 11.5% abv

Oh for the light and refreshing one, Presecco, which is among our eternal favourites. What we like about this Denominazione Di Origine Controllata is it can be drunk at any time of the day or night. The bubbles deliver the right amount of lift and the wine itself is refreshingly apple-like on the palate. We’d describe the bouquet as clean and intangible. Definitely to be drunk on its own.
