The Co-op's September Offers

Two Co-op wines on special offer from 2 September until 22 September inclusive (2015)

To start: fizz

Codorniu Gran Cremant Vintage Brut Cava 2013 (reduced to £6.99 from £9.99) pale straw yellow with white pear and citrus fruit; elegant and fresh.

Serve as an aperitif, with canapes or light starters

With mains

Château Tiregand, Clos Montalbanie 2010 (reduced to £6.99 from £7.99) from Pecharmant, geographically and stylistically between Bordeaux and Languedoc, this has ripe, dark bramble fruit with some aged mellowness. Well-balanced, if a little lacking in underpinnings, it is well-priced for the quality.

Match with autumnal roast red meat and root veg.
