WHITES

Crisp, gently saline and textured with luscious stone fruit flavours and a hit of exotic spice. Plenty going on here, with quite a sophisticated flourish for this level.

A very moreish style of sauvignon - not as green and herbaceous as some, with ripe, tropical fruit more to the fore here. Has the hallmark zippy citrus freshness.

A beautifully textured, Viognier-dominant blend organically produced by one of the highest quality co-operatives in France. Outstanding value.

"Made by La Guardiense co-operative deep in the Sannio Hills of Campania, Italy, it’s fresh, floral and fruity. There’s a lemony touch to it too and a long, crisp finish."

For when you fancy the fruit, finesse and delicacy of Sancerre but not the budget, Bellevue offers spectacular value for money.

This lovely blend of marsanne, rousanne and viognier made by Nathalie Blanc-Mares is fresh, lively, with ripe tropical fruits, good minerality and hints of spice.

Domaine Talmard’s Mâcon-Chardonnay hails from the fine 2022 vintage, sees no oak, and simply oozes with Talmard class.

Picpoul de Pinet has become one of summer’s most fashionable light white wines and Bruno Lafon’s and Francois Chamboissier’s is one of the very best.

Dopff's riesling is very classic, dry, and pristine with crisp, green apple and vibrant citrus. Perfect aperitif or with seafood in the autumn.

This is not a sparkler in the classic sense but a modern white wine where invigorating effervescence gives way to summery aromas and flavours of white flower and orchard fruit.

From northwestern Spain's verdant Salnés Valley in Gallicia (D.O. Rías Baixas), comes the crisp, fruity Albarino varietal, one perfectly matching the region's seafood-heavy cuisine.

Fine example of the glorious and fashionable viognier grape that nearly disappeared in the 60’s and 70’s from our favourite southern Rhône vineyard vineyard les Grands Bois.

From the great Estoras vineyards historically owned by the Esterhazy Princes and producing Austria's most famous varietal for white wines that pair supremely with all manner of Asian cuisine.

A classic example of Alsace gewürztraminer - aromatic, spicy and off-dry. Perfumed on the nose, with lychee, stone fruit and subtle spice on the finish.

A lovely off-dry white wine which is well balanced with a refreshing acidity. A rich yellow in colour, with a nose of smoky notes and dried fruit.

Good Vouvray from the north of the Loire by Tours is one of France's hidden jewels, and one of our favourite white wines. Bernard Fouquet's fabulous Vouvray, grown on vines ...

A superb white Bordeaux made in tiny quantities. A blend of semillon and sauvignon with a lovely soft nose of lemon and green fruit.

From Piemonte and one of Italy's eternal classics made with 100% Cortese, loved for its crisp, peachy, floral aromatics and sheer elegance in style.

The utmost expression of Loire Sauvignon Blanc sophistication and sourced across 30 different limestone, marl and flint parcels for a Pouilly-Fume of remarkable aromatic complexity.

Broad and expressive with ripe peach, pear and apricot aromas and notes of honeysuckle. Rich and rewarding on the palate.

Highly expressive and aromatic smoky green fruit nose. This is a definite step-up for Sancerre.
