Description Refresh yourself in style with a pair of aromatic award-winning Sauvignon Blancs, one from the grape's spiritual home, the Loire Valley, the other a two-time Gold winner from Bordeaux. There's a pair of speciality whites from Spain's Valencia, in the off-dry La Chica Bonita with its gentle fizz, and luscious two-Gold Perla del Mar, while Italy offers popular and moreish Italian white blend Il Papavero, and from sunny Sicily, a seriously moreish organic Grillo (the white the locals usually keep for themselves). If you love Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio there's a very good chance you'll love this. In red, France offers elegant Merlot-rich Bordeaux and a regal Rhône red made from finest Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from vineyards neighbouring legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They combine beautifully to give herb-scented, velvety black fruit, liquorice and spice. There is a Triple Gold Gran Seleccion from Spain's Valencia and a dark Portuguese release boasting a Gold and a rare Grand Gold. Italy offers glorious silky, Gold medal Chianti from a fine estate in beautiful Tuscany and a brooding, velvety and sumptuous blend of Negroamaro and Primitivo from great value Puglia. Enjoy an exceptionally tasteful European tour.
Your favourite lemony-fresh, super-grassy, French Sauvignon Blanc, and always great value. It's from our friends the Bougrier family at their Loire cellar. Searching out the best grapes from various regions results in this citrusy, aromatic white.
If it weren’t for Angelo Maci, many of the last remaining century-old vines in Puglia would have been uprooted by now. But Angelo turns their tiny quantities of dark, spicy grapes into a very special red of remarkable depth and satisfying richness.
Lovers of mature Rioja will recognise the red berry and oak character of this terrific value Gran Reserva gem from Valencia. It’s been wowing wine judges for years and was skilfully crafted by a winery regularly tipped by Spanish wine guide, Peñín.
Papavero has become a watchword for quality and value. Talented winemaker Scipione Giuliani hand selected grapes from across Italy to create this wonderfully refreshing white with its intense citrus fruit.
Jaime Quendera is the man behind the ‘Best Red Wine in the World’ a few years back. This 2020 is a sumptuous blend of native Aragonez (aka Tempranillo), Syrah and Cabernet. Delicious with pork and chorizo casserole or chicken dishes.
Nothing compares to Perla del Mar – off-dry, fruity, elegant and crisp. It’s down to the native Moscatel grape with a zip of Sauvignon freshness, plus the award-winning winemaking skills of Scottish born Pamela Geddes.
Delicious Moscatel grapiness carried on a stream of bubbles in this perfect, easy-drinking, off-dry tipple. What's more it's pleasingly low-alcohol – just 5%. This is a classic from eastern Spain's Valencia and Moscatel wizard, Fernando Tarin Casado.
For the last 25 years we’ve been championing the superb Tuscan wines from Paolo Masi and, before that, from his dad Renzo. This is our top-selling Chianti every vintage and for good reason – it captures deep cherry fruit and is always fabulous value.
As close as you could hope to come to an authentic Châteauneuf style without paying the premium. Finest Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from neighbouring vineyards combine beautifully to give herb-scented, velvety black fruit, liquorice and spice.
A wine from Ludovic Roussillon, the winemaker behind the generous ripe fruit and velvety tannins of Château Le Coin. In Moulin du Prieur, you’ll find the same appealing style. The 2021 vintage is packed with creamy blackberry, plum and spice notes.
A rich, elegant white Bordeaux crafted by Chai winemaker and Sauvignon specialist Jean-Marc Sauboua. This vintage he discovered a top cuvée of pure Sauvignon Blanc, so good it has aged beautifully to lend more honeyed notes to the dry citrus fruit.
If you like super-fresh Sauvignon or gently fruit Pinot Grigio, then you’ll love the lip-smacking refreshment of Don Pino. It's made from Sicilian speciality – Grillo, all organic too. This grape lends the wine a bright lemony bite and creamy weight.
