What a lovely light Rosé this is. It pours such a delicate and seductive pale pink, with strawberries and raspberries hitting the nose. Kiwis join the red berries after the first sip, as well as grapefruit tang. Refreshing, sweet where it needs to be, and citrus to cut through – hard not to like.

Sainsbury’s White Wines May 2024

Mud House Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

There’s a lot of competition in the Marlborough Sauvignon space at the moment, so gems like this are a godsend. The crispness is super intense with overwhelming refreshment. Beyond that, a tropical tang breaks through as well as a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel. Pair with seafood and enjoy.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

19 Crimes Chard

19 Crimes are a source of top-notch value across the board. Their Chard brings a rich quality to the stone fruit notes present, but what we think you’ll love most about it is the creamy, full boy with plenty of butter. Opulent Ozzy white.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury's New Zealand Pinot Gris, Taste the Difference

Sainsbury’s’ Taste the Difference range is quite a rich vein for bargains like this New Zealand Pinot Gris. It’s medium dry, mellow, and fruit-forward – think peach and melon. The classic Marlborough steely minerality is present too, leaving a clean feel that’s absolutely gorgeous.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Barone Montalto Grillo Sicilia DOC

Barone Montalto is a lovely Sicilian winery, and this is their 100% Grillo. The up-front citrus is impossible to ignore, but that soon dies down in favour of big, bold tropical sweetness. Flecks of green apple come and go too. Relaxed, honeyed and with nice weight.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%

Sainsbury’s Red Wines April 2024

Diablo Dark Red

We’re delighted to see this Chilean gem back on offer, although we have to say it more than justifies its full price too. The design may be devilish but make no mistake, this is heaven in a bottle. The fruity flavours are memorably deep, most notably cherry, blackberry and damson. Vanilla and dark chocolate round things off indulgently.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Carnivor Zinfandel Red Wine

You can guess from the name where this one takes you. It’s perfect alongside meats and everything you want from Cali Zinfandel – it hits hard and has great structure. The jammy blackberry is lovely and rich. It’s indulgent and well worth picking up below £10.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Journey's End Spekboom Syrah

Not only is this South African red delicious, it’s also got a really interesting background. Spekboom is also known as Elephant Bush, and it absorbs an incredible amount of CO2. Journey’s End plant loads of it, and still find time to make velvety, spicy reds like this. The savoury notes of smoky olives really bring everything together.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Altano Rewilding Edition Douro Red

This is another conservation-minded wine supporting Rewilding Portugal. On top of that, bucket loads of attitude and altitude make for a fresh and soft red driven by plum and damson. We’d serve this alongside midweek pasta dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

McGuigan Reserve Merlot

Ever reliable, McGuigan’s Reserve Merlot is a real crowd pleaser for £7. It’s pretty much the definition of easy drinking, with accessible notes of luscious plum, cherry and blackberry. It’s on the light side as Merlots go, but still full of deep fruits.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £7 (usually £7.75)

Sainsbury’s White Wines April 2024

The Ned Sauvignon Blanc

The Ned are a constant source of value on the supermarket shelves. Their Kiwi Sauvignon goes with everything, delivering tremendous freshness and dryness. Think zippy lime, tropical touches and minerality where required. Solid as a rock.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Diablo Golden Chardonnay

Bargain Chilean Chard. There is all sorts going on inside this bottle. The buttery feel is instant, but then comes the tropical kick of pineapple, wet stone, and the gentlest waft of smoke. It goes on some surprising twists and turns, but it’s a delicious journey.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Rocca Murer Pinot Grigio Trentino

This is a crisp Trentino full of light citrus and peach, grassy notes and characterful minerality. Everything about it feels light and it strikes us as extremely food-friendly – think shellfish and vegetarian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Plaimont Côtes De Gascogne Colombard Sauvignon Blanc

What a punch for the money. Hailing from sunny Côtes De Gascogne, the razor acidity really slices through with this wine. Colombard is introduced bringing a softening effect but it’s the bundles of bright citrus that steals the show – perfect for tonnes of meals.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £7.25 (usually £9)

Amandla Our Future Sauvignon Blanc

We’re always happy to shout out this wine. The distillery it comes from is a great South African female-led all black enterprise, and their wines totally brighten up the shelves. Their vivid Sauvignon is brimming with zesty citrus and tropical passion fruit. Sharp as a knife and utterly delicious. £8 is a steal.

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Sainsbury’s March 2024

Shoppers of Sainsbury’s listen up. We’ve been pawing through the offers for the best bottles this March, and the offers are superb this month. Check out these ten bottles, split down the middle between juicy reds and elegant whites… and all for £10 or less.

Sainsbury’s Red Wines March 2024

Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva Douro DOC

In the heart of the Douro region, this delicious Portuguese red is made that bit deeper with a Vintage Port finish for 12 months. There’s so much refined spice and delicately rich black fruits all before the silky finish that lasts for ages. You don’t find many reds that bring bold flavour but also nuanced restraint as well as this for a tenner.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £11.50)

Sainsbury's Valpolicella Ripasso, Taste the Difference

This is one of the best value bottles in any UK supermarket. Corvina makes up most of the four-grape blend where dried grape skins are macerated for extra depth and texture. Rich darker fruits come through alongside bright berries and lively spice but despite all that bold Italian flavour, it doesn’t feel heavy at all. Masterfully made.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £10 (usually £12)

Mucho Mas Vino Tinto

This is a juicy, easy-drinking red from one of the world’s largest family-owned wineries, situated not far from Madrid. Sweet dark fruits are brimming at the heart of it, supported by a crack of warm pepper and comforting vanilla. Top-notch midweek glugger at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.50)

Trivento Private Reserve Malbec

Chilean Mendoza Malbec from the Uco Valley at the foothills of the Andes now. Aged for 8 months in oak barrels, the wine darkens with chocolatey notes and spice, most notably black pepper, and nutmeg. Mulled wine comes to mind at times.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Porta 6 Vinho Regional Lisboa

The vineyards above Lisbon are cooled by the Atlantic ocean, so the grapes grown there maintain really fresh acid and aromatics. The blackcurrants and strawberries are light and softened by that acidity, leaving a rustic style wine that goes down a treat. Let it breathe for a while though.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury’s White Wines March 2024

Greasy Fingers Big Buttery Chardonnay

We are more than to shout about this from the rooftops whenever it comes on sale because it is divine. There’s no getting away from the ‘big and buttery’ label here that has made a massive impression on us in its short life so far. The butter leaves just enough room for crunchy orchard fruits and a touch of oaky vanilla, so expect more of a Cali Chard profile than Aussie.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Yealands Sauvignon Blanc

Yealands produce a few Sauvignon Blancs and this supermarket gem is fantastic. It’s a crisp classic delivering tonnes of naturally high acidity, offset harmoniously with tasty tropical fruits like guava and peach, and all underwritten by lovely herbaceous notes too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10.50)

Sainsbury's Coolwater Bay Marlborough Sauvignon, Taste the Difference

What a great price this is for quality Marlborough Sauvignon. It’s got that beautiful dryness and exotic mango, lime, and papaya that you want. The minerality definitely comes through, as do hints of fresh herbs. It’s crisp and delicate and simply delivers on exactly what you want.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9.99 (usually £11.99)

Barone Montalto Grillo Sicilia DOC

100% Grillo grapes from Sicilain winery Barone Montalto have produced an absolute gem here. Citrus (most notably grapefruit) floods the nose and after the first sip, you’ll notice that this is a big, weighty white with tropical fruit sweetness and a flicker of green fruits. Very nice.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7.25 (usually £8)

Elegant Frog Viognier

Say hello to the Elegant Frog, a Languedoc Viognier from Jean-Claude Mas. Part of the blend is aged in oak barrels to enhance the aromas of floral peach, as well as the richness of dried fruit on the palate. The aftertaste is particularly strong for a Viognier but we love it.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%

Supermarket Wine Bargains: Sainsbury’s February/March 2024

We’re back with the latest Supermarket Wine Bargains, hunting down the latest and greatest must try wines discounted this month. These wonderful reds, whites and rosés are all currently on offer at Sainsbury’s (until the 10th March), and nearly every bottle is under £10. They really are incredible value for money this month, so let’s dive in.

*UPDATED: 21/02/2024*

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento

This is an Emilia-Romagna Sangiovese from Tenuta Santonedo that is one of the best value reds across all UK supermarkets. Staggeringly easy to drink, the grapes are hand-picked and slow-dried for seductive, ripe richness. Jammy blackberry and cherry come to the fore, with tasty vanilla and enough acidity cutting through. Every sip is super smooth and there really is no better bottle for Italian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Greasy Fingers Luscious Red

Greasy Fingers’ medium-bodied blend of Grenache and Shiraz is a tremendous pickup. Like their big and buttery Chardonnay, it’s made to sing with yummy, greasy food, but there’s a lot more to it. The mouthfeel is super silky and the balance between the Shiraz’s rich fruits and the Grenache’s fruity sweetness is pinpoint perfect. It’s so moreish and easy to love that we fail to see how it couldn’t be a crowdpleaser.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £8.50 (usually £10)

Journeys End Bluegum Merlot

Over to Stellenbosch now for this ruby red Merlot. The richness of flavour is noticeable straight away, delivering full blackberry and plum. But this is a really big Merlot so there’s so much more – oaky, earthy, almost smoky wafts and subtle graphite notes provide an intoxicating complexity. 14% but very drinkable and interesting,

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £12)

PepperBox Shiraz

Fans of Aussie Shiraz, this is your stop. The nose is instantly captivating with a little liquorice, eucalyptus and of course, luscious dark fruits. The soft viscosity is lovely, as plums, blackcurrants and red cherries reveal themselves amongst the gently spicy depths. That spice comes from noticeable pepper that stands out. We love its indulgence, and think it would be perfect with Sunday Lamb.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts February/March 2024

Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc

One of the best textbook Marlborough Sauvignon’s in Sainsbury’s. The gooseberry nose, the tropical pineapple, and grapefruit tang, it’s all so elegant and crisp. The acidity is razor sharp, but there’s herbaceous nettle notes swirling around too and a well-roundedness to the citrus.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10.50)

Amandla Our Future Sauvignon Blanc

We’ve praised Amandla tonnes before, because not only are they brightening up our shelves with great wine, they’re also an inspiring all black operation with vino star Praisy Dlamini at the hem. This is their zesty Sauvignon that’s full of sunshine – think ripe and tropical notes of pineapple, passion fruit and bright citrus. Dry and with a tip-top sharpness for food too.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury's Verdeca Puglia IGT No 26

This is quite a new addition to the Sainsbury’s Discovery collection but has stood out to us and is well worth trying. It’s 100% Verdeca grape from Puglia, which you may never have tried before. Expect citrus with a flash of honey on the nose, leading into a eyebrow raising-ly clean palate of crisp minerality. The citrus that’s there is so fresh, and a little peach and florality adds depth. You just need to look at the label to know when to drink this – it works a treat with fish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £6.50 (usually £8.50)

Atlantique Vinho Verde

A lovely Portuguese blend from the family-owned Casa Santos Lima, the grapes in the Minho are cooled by the Atlantic for wines with great freshness and aroma. The profile is that of a young white, with super crisp acidity and fresh fruits, most notably lemon, lime and apple.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts February/March 2024

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Île-de-Beauté Rosé

This was on offer back in January, so we’re happy to see it back below a tenna (even if it is easily worth more). Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Grenache, Vermentinu and Syrah come together to make quite a mouthful, in more ways than one. Hailing from Corsica, it’s very much a dryer Rosé. A gentle bouquet welcomes the nose and the ripe berries and currants fill out the flavours. Stone fruits pop up before an undertone of pink peppery warmth on the finish. This is one of those Rosés that will win over white and red drinkers.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Freixenet Italian Still Rose

This bottle is also on discount for the same price at Morrisons, so there really is no better time to try it. We’ve all seen the signature bottle, but the wine inside is underrated by many. A blend of Italian Corvina and Garganega, every sip has a seductively soft feel and that’s before the red flood of strawberry and cranberry. Grapefruit brings some bitter balance, and overall it’s just a well put together fruit-forward, fresh Rosé.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11.5%
Find here: £8 (usually £10)

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts February 2024

Barossa Ink Shiraz

This is fantastically deep Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. It uses grapes from all over the region, delivering intense opulence. Think mocha notes, blackberries, and plums. It has a great weight to it, and is screaming out to be drank alongside hearty meats.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Terre di Faiano Nero di Troia Organic Wine

Terre di Faiano make some top notch organic wines, and their Nero di Troia is wonderfully fruity and smooth. It really delivers on a fresh feel before delving richer with plums and blackberries and rounding off with oaky vanilla. Must buy at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury's Valpolicella Ripasso, Taste the Difference

This is fantastic value for money, it really is. A four-grape blend of mainly Corvina, they macerate with dried grape skins for added depth and a velvety texture that’s to die for. Vibrant berries meet rich darker fruits and a touch of spice. It isn’t too heavy despite all of that, which is why it’s so well made.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £12 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts February 2024

Sainsbury's Riverblock Marlborough Sauvignon, Taste the Difference

If easy-drinking Marlborough Sauvignon is your thing, then this is for you. The freshness is immediately impressive, and the zesty tropical hints are delicious. It can cleanse the palate but also has enough body to stand up to heartier dishes too. You’ll need 3 for the big discount, but if Marlborough Sauvignon is your go to then this won’t let you down.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £10.50 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

Sainsbury's Jurançon Sec, Taste the Difference

Jurançon sits in the sun-drenched foothills of the Pyrenees and is known for indigenous grapes, like the Gros and Petit Manseng in this expression. Usually, you’ll find these make sweeter wines, and though this brings a little of that, it’s very pleasantly dry, zesty, and refreshing – think tangerine and melon. Unique and well worth a go.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (Buy 3 and save 25%)

The Ned Pinot Grigio

This is a Waihopai Valley Pinot Grigio that stands out from the usual style. Behind the seductive salmon blush colouring is an expression brimming with stone fruits. It’s rich, and full-bodied, but the twist that comes is with the lingering minerality that we love. It’s the perfect time to try whilst it’s under a tenner.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

19 Crimes Chard

We’ve featured 19 Crimes a few times because of their consistent quality, and their Chardonnay is yet another wine that delivers. Oak ageing means the melon and stone fruits come through with richness, but the stand out trait is the buttery, full body that makes this a must try at this price point.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Most Wanted Regions Sauvignon Blanc Rueda

This is a benchmark Spanish Sauvignon Blanc from Castilla y Léon. The nose is aromatic with green apples and grass, the palate is brimming with gooseberry and a little kiwi, before a pleasant kick of citrus acidity on the finish. Nom!

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £8 (usually £9.50)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts February 2024

Silver Moki Sauvignon Blush

If you’ve never taken to rosé then we urge you to give this a go, particularly if you’re not keen on the sweetness. This delivers much of the crisp Sauvignon Blanc and slicing citric acidity. Indulgent peach and strawberry offset this harmoniously, but they’re subtler than most rosé expressions. It’s the sophistication and elegance that blows our minds with this bottle though. Worth double the price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Madame F Rosé Wine

There is so much to applaud with this rosé. First, of course, the snazzy frog. Second, its collaboration with a charity trying to create the first LGBTQ+ museum. And thirdly, the liquid. The Grenache and Shiraz combination brings vibrant crowd-pleasing red berries, and there’s enough citrus acidity to make it food-friendly too. Try a glass with seafood paella.

Size: 750ml

*UPDATED - JANUARY 18TH 2024*

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts January 2024

La Masseria Del Borgo Primitivo Manduria

This Puglia red is stocked full of dark berries – think blackcurrants and black cherries, richly delivered right through to a very long finish. It really is rich, not a million miles away from some Tawny Ports, but it’s so satisfying and delicious.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £11 (usually £12.50)

Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento

The Sangiovese grapes used here are hand-picked and slow-dried, creating a fabulous easy-drinking, jammy richness. Blackberry, vanilla and cherry intertwine, but there’s enough acidity slicing through too, making it a wonderful companion for heavier Italian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £9 (usually £11)

Piccini Memoro

You may already know this Italian red because it has established itself as a bargain amongst the UK supermarkets… and even more so at this price. It balances full-bodied plum, black cherry and vanilla with warm oak and subtle tobacco but retains a lightness too somehow. A cosy, loveable winter wine if ever there was one.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £7.25 (usually £8.75)

Apothic Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine

Cabernet and Zinfandel combine in this American red, plush with up-front dark fruits, and good oaky structure. The texture is probably what stands out most in this wine because the smoothness is absolutely to die for. So moreish.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Sainsbury’s White Wine Discounts January 2024

Yealands Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

We love shouting about this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc because it completely deserves it. The pretty label pops on the shelf, and the liquid inside pops even more. It’s bright and bold, with tropical passionfruit, mango and kiwi at the fore, bitter grapefruit tang, and a lovely minerality. Just incredible for under a tenna.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £11.50)

Rocca Murer Pinot Grigio Trentino

This straw-coloured Trentino beauty brings a mineral lightness to its fruit of peach and apples, and a crispness throughout every sip. Accompanied by the undertones of citrus and grassy tones, we recommend it with food such as shellfish, mushrooms or mellow vegetarian dishes.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Diablo Golden Chardonnay Chile

This a distinctive and seductive Chilean Chardonnay that’s well worth picking up. You can expect tasteful balance, with buttery creamy notes, tropical passion fruit and pineapple, as well as little touches of smoke and stone towards the end. The flavours are unexpected, but it’s delivered delicately and supremely well put together.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Sturmwolken Riesling

The fresh, zesty lime stands out in this vibrant off dry Riesling. Sweetness is swept away by bright lemon, grapefruit tang and minerally stone fruit. It will hold its flavour against spicy foods, but also holds off the acidity just enough to remain enjoyable flying solo. Yummy.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 11%
Find here: £7 (usually £8)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Discounts January 2024

Rocca Murer Pinot Grigio Rosato

For breezy midweek drinking, this Rocca Murer Rosé delivers exactly what’s required and more. The seductive bouquet blossoms into sunny peach sweetness alongside crunchy red apple. As is vital when it comes to the pink stuff, the tang and sweetness is poised to precision.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

La Terrasse Rosé Pays d'Oc

The legendary wine wizard Jean-Claude Mas nursed this pale pink gem to the bottle, and every sip tastes masterfully made. The rich strawberry is luscious, the pear and apple are crisp, and the faintest waft of lemon peel provides a zesty nudge. If you like your Rosé delicate and refreshing, then you’ll fall in love with this.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Sainsbury’s Rosé Wine Discounts January 2024

Silver Moki Sauvignon Blush

A bit different, this is a Rosé interpretation of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. As you might expect, it retains the fresh crispness of white wine and great citric bite. But then comes silky, lush floral strawberry and ripe peach. Admittedly, they’re subtler than they are in most Rosé, but the zesty balance struck up is magical, and it feels like it should be way pricier (but don’t tell Sainsbury’s!)

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12.5%
Find here: £7 (usually £8.25)

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Île-de-Beauté Rosé

Four grapes (Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Grenache, Vermentinu and Syrah) layer up this Corsica Rosé, that comes out towards the dryer end of the pink spectrum. The delicate bouquet on the nose blossoms into ripe currants and berries, with a touch of soft peach, and all before some warm pink pepper on the finish. If you’re a red or white drinker usually, then this may well win you over.

Sainsbury’s Red Wine Discounts January 2024

Feuerheerd's Anchor Wine Reserva Douro DOC

This deep Portuguese red makes great use of the Douro region surrounding it by finishing in Vintage Port barrels for 12 months. The result is refined spice and elegant black fruits, as well as a lingering, velvety finish. For £10, there are few reds better at remaining nuanced but also bold and imposing.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 14%
Find here: £10 (usually £11.50)

Diablo Dark Red

Despite the devilish bottle, this is heaven in a bottle. It’s one of those wines that is memorable from the off, plush with ocean deep fruity flavours – think damson, cherry, and blackberry. The hints of dark chocolate and oaky vanilla add a lusciousness, and it’s totally understandable why this Chilean beauty is rated so highly. Compulsory purchase at this price.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Carnivor Zinfandel

Carnivor is everything you want from Zinfandel, and as you will have guessed, the perfect meaty accompaniment. Lodi, California has built a reputation for hard hitting, well-structured Zinfandel styles, and this delivers on that. Sumptuously rich cherry and blackberry jam floods the mouth for an indulgent red that will stun on the dinner table.

Find here: £9 (usually £10.50)

Journey's End Spekboom Syrah

Not only do they make cracking wine, but Journey’s End have also been busy planting Spekboom, or Elephant Bush because of its incredible CO2 absorption rate. But, back to the bottle, which is punching well above the price point. Velvety tannins and spiced dark fruits stand out from this Syrah, but there’s also a savoury side to discover, with black olives and smoky oak. Mightily impressive.

Freixenet Pinot Grigio
