Berry Bros & Rudd Wine Pronunciation Guide

Berry Bros & Rudd Wine Pronunciation Guide

It is important to be able to pronounce the name of a wine correctly, although the ability to do so sometimes seems more of an art than a science. The dialects of Bordeaux, for example, seem to be influenced by many other European languages - Spanish, English and Dutch, for example - and I have even heard one proprietor pronounce the name of his chateau differently to an American than to an Italian.

Below is a comprehensive range of the top Bordeaux properties, arranged alphabetically. By clicking on the symbols you can hear the way they are pronounced in France - as good a start as any! The same symbol is available with many other items in our product list.

2006 Molly Dooker "The Violinist" Verdelho

I recently paired this wine with skate wings with a lemon-caper sauce on a bed of roasted potatoes, red onions and, yes, asparagus.

The wine is pale straw yellow, very heavy on the glass, with plenty of tears, slowly pouring off the side of the glass. The nose is strong and slightly hot, loaded with lemon grass and sweet creamy butter. The wine slides down easily into your mouth and wraps your tongue on a thick blanket of tropical fruits and spices; peaches and cream, exotic melons, guava, lime, caramel and a touch of nutmeg. A slightly hot spicy finish compliments this intense fruit coctail over a long finish.

This wine was able to stand the asparagus. It was, perhaps, a little bit too overwhealming for the light, delicate, creamy flavor of the skate. I, nonetheless, enjoyed it very much.
