WINE LIST

Another clutch of great wines to complement Elizabeth David’s super summer recipes

- MATTHEW JUKES’

1 2015 Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose Rosé, Cabrières, Languedoc, France

£8.49, reduced to £6.79 from 27 July until 16 August, Waitrose A lovely bold rosé with juicy cherry notes, this is at a great price for the next few weeks, so don’t miss your chance to pick some up. Drink it with a host of dishes including the Spiced Grilled Chicken.

2 2015 Taste the Difference Grüner Veltliner, Traisental, Austria

£8, Sainsbury’s This is a fairly rich grüner with a superb glossy sheen that, unlike some of the skinnier styles, can handle full-flavoured dishes. This also goes well with the wondrous Spiced Grilled Chicken recipe.

3 2014 Palacio de Sada Garnacha, Navarra, Spain

£9.99, averys.com An eye-opener of a wine, made from very old vines and showing incredible ripeness. I’ve followed this little-known estate for a few years and I’m thrilled to be able to bring this wine to your attention – you won’t believe how good it is.

4 2013 Climbing Shiraz, Orange, New South Wales, Australia

£8.99, Waitrose Orange is a high-altitude region, meaning this shiraz is a rather slimmer red than many Aussie versions. With superb aromatics and a sleek palate, it’s a very sexy wine that would be beautiful with the Lamb Cutlets With Mint Butter.

2014 El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa, Old Vines Garnacha, Navarra, Spain. £8.99, reduced to £7.99 each on a ‘mix six’ deal until 29 August, Majestic

The Navarra region produces the same style of wines as nearby Rioja but offers much better value – and with great depth and power, this is no exception.
