Budget supermarket Lidl is launching a new vegan wine rumoured to taste just like hot cross buns.
Just in time for Easter, Lidl is offering a sweet wine to complement your savoury meal or after dinner sweet treats – and for only £6.99.
So why the hot cross comparison?
Richard Bampfield, Lidl’s Master of Wine, says “This rare Spanish wine from the historic Malaga region boasts unique aromas of raisins and sweet spice, very much like that of the cinnamon and nutmeg flavours in hot cross buns. An exciting find and superb value, this wine is the perfect indulgence for all your Easter treat needs.”
Created from Muscat grapes that are sun dried for 10-15 days on specialised “esparto” dry grass from North Africa and southern Europe, the wine is then matured in oak barrels to enhance the aromas for a full-bodied flavour.
The retailer has become known for its extensive offering of critically-acclaimed wines and spirits at affordable prices. Taking the ‘Best Scotch Whisky’ at World Whiskies Awards earlier this year, we have high hopes for this latest offering from the creatives at Lidl.
So wash down your chocolate eggs or festive feast with a glass of Moscatel Reserva de Familia — or just pour a glass to yourself and be happy it doesn't come with all the extra washing up.
