Christine Austin is happy to report that Morrisons is on form again after tasting her way through 121 wines following changes to the supermarket chain’s buying team.
In the last couple of years there have been a few changes in the buying team at Morrisons, and it always takes a while for buyers to settle down in their new roles before they start to buy smarter. And that is what is happening now. At the recent Morrisons tasting, there were several new labels, a lot of new vintages and a more positive attitude towards the market.
Morrisons The Best Assyrtiko 2022, Greece, £10: Assyrtiko is a fresh-tasting grape, with lime zest flavours, sometimes a touch of peach and a definite streak of minerality. Grapes grown on the beautiful island of Santorini are trained to form a basket-like structure, which is essential to protect the grapes from strong sea breezes. This is expensive way to cultivate grapes.
