Wine columnist and connoisseur DENNIS KNILL gives his views on two new wines from Pernod Ricard.
Pernod Ricard, the second largest wine and spirit producer in the world, is never caught napping when it comes to launching new brands. In figuring out the next big trend Pernod Ricard has recently unveiled four new wines under the umbrella of Greasy Fingers.
Each of the wines have been skilfully crafted to cut through greasy food while epitomising the perfect match for gourmet fast food. The aim is to re-engage younger wine drinkers where there is a higher frequency of consuming convenience food at home. Greasy Fingers also goes back to the real heartland of food and wine pairing without tablecloths.
For moments of pure indulgence, these two wines are deliciously greasy when paired with gourmet hamburgers, pizza, and pasta dishes.
A medium-bodied, fresh and lively wine delicately balanced with ripe citrus, moderate acidity, and a lingering crispness.
This perfectly blended quinella is distinctively bright and oaky with a ripe and fragrant bouquet that makes for easy drinking.
