killiefaetheferry Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Any of you know your wines ? I recently went for it with the Virgin Wines after getting a fifty quid off voucher. Amazing wine the first few bottles. A Pinot Grigio that proves that the fiver stuff is bitter swill, and an Australian Shiraz that is as smooth as a Tommy Burns slide-rule pass. But.......A tempranillo that has a distinctive buzz on the tongue. Not exactly a fizz, but enough that you notice it. No mention of it in the tasting notes or reviews online. I even opened the second bottle of it and exactly the same. Is that normal for red/tempranillo, or a bad batch ? Had it in a white, but it was meant to be like that, never experienced it in a red.

jenblueeyes Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Any left? Happy to try it out for you. I've had a frizzante red years ago which was very nice but it would normally say something about it in either the tasting notes or on the bottle. Worth emailing Virgin Wines to query with them - they might offer you something else to make up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherps Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Wines that have fermented again in the bottle can develop spritz and bubbles, if that's what you're describing. If that's the case, you should be looking for a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Aye, they offer a no quibble anyway..........just wondering if I was just not appreciating a good wine. Still got 7 bottles left to sample. Not sure if buying 12 at a time is a good idea as we seem to be getting through them fairly fast !
