This Rhône-inspired Australian white is pale, bright and crisp, but also has some textural richness. It smells of apricots, freesias and lemons, layered with Russet apple, lime juice and a light...

Last shout for this wonderful Jurançon Sec #ClosdelaVierge before my next #wineoftheweek tomorrow https://t.co/MCI2c3yjLY
#Jurancon #grosmanseng
joannasimon.com
Jurançon Sec is a wine that can smell sweet but taste bone dry and be rich in texture but mouthwateringly tangy. Clos de la Vierge Le Carré de Peés 2023 is all these. It smells of honeyed quinces and...

Good Rueda Verdejo that has an rrp of £12 but which, on current offers you can get for as little as £6.75 a bottle. Bargain. New #wineoftheweek

Red Burgundy is never going to be cheap but, if you know where to look, it can be good value, especially from less famous appellations. Domaine Machard de Gramont Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2023 makes...

Good value red Burgundy. It's always nice to be able to put those 4 words together. The two Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes are an increasingly useful source. Domaine Machard de Gramont Hautes-Côtes de Beaune – new #wineoftheweek

Last shout for this amazing value Argentine Cabernet Franc before my next #wineoftheweek tomorrow https://t.co/18Yxy9BTKK
#CabernetFranc #Mendoza

Wines made from Cabernet Franc often feature as good reds for summer because they can be lightly chilled, but that doesn’t mean they have to be served from the fridge or only in the summer. Finca...
