Wine For The Weekend – Asda Extra Special

Asda may not be the first point of call for the wine buff, however their own extra special range has produced some excellent value for money wines. The Journal picks two of its favorites.

2011 Extra Special Beaujolais Villages Red, Pasquier Desvignes, France, This 2011 might not be as good as the great 2010 or the excellent 2009, but at £5 a bottle this smooth and fruity bottle will keep everyone happy this summer. £5 asda.com

2010 Extra Special Chablis, Domaine de la Levee, France, Firstly 2010 was a great year for Chablis and this wine comes from one of the best Chablis regions. This young and juicy wine has flavors of citrus fruits and minerals notes. This wine is perfect with seafood and fish dishes. £9.34 asda.com
