TWO OCEANS CRESTS ON NEW CRED FROM THE CRITICS

Value has become the new currency as critics stand up for modestly priced wines. Two Oceans, with a bright, fresh and easy-drinking range of wines retailing in the R26 to R28 spectrum, is a case in point.  Two Oceans wines offered in the US consistently earn A+ ratings in Robert Parker’s widely read Wine Advocate with the publication even calling for other producers to follow the Two Oceans example of excellence at affordable prices.

Canada’s biggest liquor retailer, LCBO, has also listed the 2009 Shiraz as one of its top 50 value wines, highlighting its “smoky herbal blackberry fruit with juniper and cocoa notes… and fruity, chocolate finish,” giving it an A+ rating.

Now the brand is winning acclaim locally too with the 2010 Michelangelo International Wine Awards of South Africa panel giving the 2010 Shiraz Rosé a gold medal.

Says Two Oceans spokesperson Jackie Olivier: “A gorgeous rose-petal colour, it’s not just a pretty face. Its appealing berry and peach fragrances open onto a wonderfully refreshing and fruity palate of strawberry, peach and melon flavours that are a great match for seafood, poultry, salads and soft cheeses.”

The wine is available from stockists nationally and sells for around R26 for a 750 ml bottle.
