With almost 500 stores across the UK, Morrisons is a major player in the supermarket sector and its value wine offering never fails to impress.
The retailer’s private label – ‘The Best’ wine range continues to highlight classic regions and grapes from around the globe at a reasonable price, and is a great place to start if you’re new to Morrisons or want to explore wines from different regions.
The Decanter team had an early preview (hence the missing bottle shots) of the supermarket chain’s new ‘Best Block’ series, which focuses on wines from specific subregions or plots within well-known regions such as Margaret River, Paarl and Marlborough, due for release in late May.
For fragrant and fresh whites, go for ‘The Best’ Gewürztraminer and Grüner Veltliner, choose Sicilian Bianco, and Laurent Delaunay’s Les Grappillages Chablis for more salinity and texture.
For a splash of colour, the new Primitivo Rosé, also from The Best range, is juicy and poised, while the Joven Rioja is bright and ripe – both benefit from a slight chill.
For home-cooked steaks, Cantine di Ora’s Barolo 2020 is a solid, classy choice, while 35 South’s ripe yet well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon is a value buy for casual outdoor BBQs. And why not opt for a fresh, crisp Fino sherry, packed with green fruits and nuts, guaranteed to shine as an appetiser?
