FOUR super wines

1 Ridgeview Sparkling Red Reserve, East Sussex, England, £55, Ridgeview Wine Estate

An exciting limited release, this eye-catching ruby red, enhanced by a shimmering effervescence, sings from the glass. Utterly delicious, the cherry aromas and dry, forest fruits sparkle with energy and vibrancy, with subtle spice through the finish.

2 Maison Mumm RSRV Blanc de Blancs 2015, Champagne, France, £72.95, The Whisky Exchange

Made with grand cru grapes – the highest classification – the gentle beads of bubbles offer delicate florals, mineral notes, a touch of citrus, immaculate creamy fruit showing real finesse, and a long, classy finish. With a chic, white cage, sleek, narrow necked bottle and dynamic label (RSRV stamp highlights the best), self-gift if you can’t bear to share with a significant other.

3 Château Ksara Sunset Rosé 2021, Bekka Valley, Lebanon, £14.99, Strictly Wine

A high-altitude rosé from the powerhouse of Lebanese wine, this is a gutsy yet plush, dry rosé, full of ripe, red berry fruit with hints of spice, subtle vanilla notes and a streak of minerally keeping everything fresh and lively.

4 Château de Belleverne SaintAmour Le Cru de Amoureux 2020, Beaujolais, France, £13.29, RannochScott Wines

If Beaujolais – or Bojo, it’s new trendy name – has been off your radar, now’s the time to reacquaint yourself with this world class wine; such as those from Saint-Amour, with its reputation for sophisticated, elegant reds exhibiting expressive florals, a bright fruitiness and silky, lasting finish. Made from the finest gamay grapes and a great vintage by all accounts, this is your go-to.
