1 x False Bay Windswept Sauvignon Blanc 2024 (South Africa) - £9.49 Sustainable, Vegan
This is a superb seaside Sauvignon Blanc from a talented winemaker in South Africa. Fresh and zesty with grassy and dry bay leaf aromatics. This is an easy drinking Sauvignon Blanc with a palate that has lots of minerality and citrus with just a touch of green pepper and grass.
1 x La Caves des Producteurs le Veritable de Jurancon, Jurancon Sec 2020 (France) - £11.99 Vegan
Jurancon flies under the radar compared to France's more famous white wines, but this excellent wine made from the local Gros Manseng grape has bags of flavour and character that belie its modest pricetag. Honeyed peach and apple fruit is backed up by refreshing acidity in this medium-bodied white.
1 x Celler Alimara Estrelles de Batea Garnatxa Blanca 2021 (Spain) - £12.75 Organic, Vegan
From a small 6ha estate in Terra Alta, this is a full-bodied white made from white Grenache, with a nice balance of ripe apple and apricot fruit with toasted almond and beeswax notes. A delicious pairing for roasted vegetables or pork chops.
1 x El Ninot de Paper Tinto 2022 (Spain) - £8.50 Vegan
Light, peppery and easy-drinking, this blend of Garnacha, Monastrell and Shiraz from Valencia is a perfect weeknight red that pairs nicely with sausage casseroles or lentils.
1 x Les Volets Pinot Noir, Haute Vallee de l'Aude 2022 (France) - £10.50 Vegan
From a cool, high altitude valley near to Carcassonne, this a brilliant Pinot Noir with charming red fruit, subtle spice and floral notes. Light in body with silky tannins, it's lovely with a ratatouille or herby roast chicken.
1 x Solar de Estraunza Rioja Alavesa 2023 - £13.95
Made with 100% Tempranillo from old vines around Laguardia, fermented semi-carbonically and unoaked, this is a Rioja bursting with delicious ripe red and black fruits alongside hints of liquorice and nutmeg. Round and polished on the palate, the soft tannins make it extremely drinkable!
