Blue Nun Launches New Style Pinot Grigio Riesling

Instead of looking back red-faced and cringing at our flares and platform wearing days, when the height of sophistication was bangers and Smash followed by Black Forest Gateau and washed down with a glass of Blue Nun, we can now hold our heads up high again, knowing that we grew up during the era that is now the height of cool all over again!

Fashion has come full circle and retro is officially cool with today’s youngsters. They are swapping flavoured vodkas and alcopops for a much more refined glass of Blue Nun and you will be pleasantly surprised to hear that the brand has grown up with you too and now offers a sophisticated range of quality, easy-drinking wines to suit everyone, whatever your taste!

Blue Nun has most recently added a delicious new Pinot Grigio Riesling to the range, which appeals to today’s younger drinkers. The new wine combines the classic German Riesling grape with the UK’s current most popular white wine variety, Pinot Grigio, also from the banks of the Rhine river in Germany, to create a delicious new, easy drinking wine blend. Pinot Grigio Riesling is a drier style of wine, with a subtle fruity tone with hints of apples, pears and citrus.

Perfect to enjoy on a night in with friends; to relax with after a long day at work, or to complement your favourite meal– Blue Nun Pinot Grigio Riesling is the ideal white wine to enjoy with fish or white meats, and is exclusively available from Tesco, RRP £4.99.
