Win wine for a year!

5 April 2012

There's no better way to enjoy the summer than relaxing with friends over a glass of fragrant wine. And one lucky reader can win a year's supply thanks to Loire Valley Wines.

When experts talk about wine, you'd often think they were actually discussing flowers, fruit and plants. Gooseberries, blackcurrants, tobacco, mint and vanilla - it can all sound very complicated.

However, Loire Valley Wines have found a perfect way to bring out the aromas of their wines and help you find the right one for you.

Loire Valley Wines have created a Garden at this year's RHS Hampton Court Flower Show and it's based on the link between Loire Valley Wines and the deliciously varied flavours and scents its wines can evoke. Of all the French regions, the vast Loire Valley produces a varied style of elegant and stylish wines. Bone dry to intensely sweet, flowery or fruity, deep red to clean white —there's a wine to suit every occasion and every tastebud. The flowers and plants in the garden reflect the aromas of the wine and even their red, white and rosé colours too.

When choosing a wine from the Loire Valley, look out for labels saying:
- Rosé or Cabernet d'Anjou:
These rosés when perfectly chilled are ideal served with turkey, salad and Greek mezze dishes.
- Anjou, Vouvray or Touraine for white wines:
In a variety of dry, medium sweet, still and sparkling styles, these aromatic white wines go well with shellfish and river fish such as salmon.
- Chinon, Saumur, Saumur Champigny, Bourgueil and Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil:
Offering a lighter, fresher style of red, these wines can be served chilled and match chicken, pasta and salmon dishes. Roast and braised meats are excellent partners for more structured wines.

Widely available and starting at just £4 per bottle, Loire Valley Wines will appeal to all your family and friends.

One lucky winner will win wine for a year* courtesy of Loire Valley wines and five runners up will each receive a 12 bottle mixed case of Loire Valley wines.
