Very poor
An unfortunate advert for English white wine. Excessively mineral, akin to a mouthful of flint. Didn't improve the next day, not suitable for drinking by itself, or even with food. Used up the bottle for cooking. Waste of money.
A great surprise, amazing wine from England
Tried for the first time over the weekend in the sunshine. Really surprised by how good this is, zippy citrus and stone fruit flavours. Will buy again!
gives NZ Sauvignon a run for its money
This is such a nice refreshing wine. Normally an ardent NZ Sauvignon drinker, I am concerted and I will now be purchasing more of this. Lovely lovely wine
Awesome
Very dry, acidic and full of flavour. Absolutely delicious. If you don't like very dry, acidic wine this is not for you!
Excellent example of English wine
I can only think some of the other reviewers must've had a bad batch as this is excellent. One for fans of NZ sauvignon blanc, Chablis or Aussie Riesling. This is intensely dry, very crisp and refreshing - with bags of flavour! It is acidic so have it with food if needed to balance it; this would be amazing with tempura or fish and chips, or even a bag of plain crisps.
The Wine Was Poured Down The Sink
Very shocked when we tasted it. Left it then tried again; still as bad. The wine was poured down the sink. We've tasted many dry white wines both English and International but this wine is so acidic that we can't make a fair comparison. Perhaps, we thought, it might be a 'bad batch' but many others are writing much the same so maybe Tesco Finest sommeliers could have another taste. One of us likened the taste to Fennings' Fever Mixture.
Poor quality for the price
Sadly we found this wine rather unpleasant. We bought it on the basis that it was "Tesco's Finest" & we thought the blend of Chardonnay, Bacchus & Pinot Blanc might combine well together. Unfortunately this was not the case, & it seemed as if they were perhaps trying to disguise poor quality grapes with this unusual mixture - such a pity as we know English vineyards can do better!
Very fresh and light wine, nice balance no lingeri

I really enjoy the quality of English wines, but the acidity was too powerful & unbalanced. I did not enjoy it.
Awful - really sour and unpleasant
One sip and we opened a different bottle.
