The Co-operative is to list a wine made with grapes from both Australia and New Zealand among a number of new additions to its range.
Parallel Vines combines 70% Australian Chardonnay and 30% New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in a blend created by buyer Ed Robinson and supplier Andrew Peace of Andrew Peace Wines. It will sell for £6.99.
Other new additions include three wines at £6.99 under the Co-op's own Truly Irresistible label: Chenin Blanc 2015 made by Darling Cellars in South Africa; Rioja Crianza 2012 from Bodegas Muriel; and Fiano 2014 made by Marco Giulioli under the guidance of consultant Riccardo Cotarella.
