Tempranillo is Spain's signature grape, and we have hunted far and wide for a version that delivers all of that lovely seductive soft fruit and gentle oak that we have come to know and love. Hacienda Albae's Tempranillo has been aged in small oak barrels for 6 months and has everything we were looking for.

+What it tastes like

Rather like a young, gently oaky Rioja, this Tempranillo shows a very easy-going strawberry and vanilla character - smooth and voluptuous.

+What it goes with

Superb with grilled food - especially lamb chops - but equally worth trying with tomato-based dishes.

We’ve been on the hunt for a Syrah based Côtes-du-Rhône for a while, and the team were united in selecting this stunning example. Made by winemakers Joséphine and Frédéric Arnaud, whose vineyards are surrounded by beautiful woodland renowned for its truffles. This is an elegant, fruit focused yet full-bodied red.

+What it tastes like

Packed with generous black and red berried-fruit with a twist of black pepper and spice, so typical of good Syrah. The palate has plentiful, yet silky tannins and an appealing freshness on the finish.

+What it goes with

This would be especially enjoyable with chargrilled or roasted meats, yet equally good with cheese and cornichons.

Gascony is one of our favourite parts of France. Excellent food, friendly people, lots of sunshine, and inspiring views of the Pyrenees. This blend of Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gros Manseng is an elegant but lipsmackingly delicious wine. Elisabeth Prataviera is the talented winemaker and the estate has been in her family since the 1920s. Here she's crafted a wine that's vibrant and packed to the rafters with fruit.

+What it tastes like

Bursting with joyous fresh apple and zesty lemon, and even a hint of pineapple. This aromatic and juicy, fresh white is dangerously drinkable.

+What it goes with

Ideal as an aperitif, or as a summer picnic white, this is great with cold meats and cheeses too.

When we first tried this Bacchus by the talented Neil Walker from The English Vine, the whole team thought it was knock-out. Bursting with ripe, zippy and generous green fruits from grapes grown in Essex. The fact it’s named No.1 says it all really.

+What it tastes like

An utterly thirst-quenching wine with bags of lime and elderflower cordial on the nose and palate. It’s light and easy-drinking at only 11% alcohol and shows just how the Bacchus grape can shine under English sun.

+What it goes with

A wine for anyplace, anytime... and especially the picnic basket, but we really enjoy this with fish and new potatoes, or seasonal asparagus.

We were delighted when Justin Howard-Sneyd MW – our wine selector and all-round wine jedi - first agreed to supply his highly-praised Bee Pink. Made with the help of Jean-Marc Lafage, one of France’s best rosé producers, this is made in the ‘Provence’ style using Grenache and Syrah grapes, and this 2022 vintage is another belter!

+What it tastes like

A very delicate pink colour with hints of raspberries and cranberry on the nose. Bone dry with mouthwatering freshness, and charming summer pudding flavours.

+What it goes with

Serve lightly chilled, this is delicious with a Salade Nicoise or a chicken salad – or just put a couple of ice cubes in and drink it with a straw!
