Our pick of the best white wine to enjoy with seafood

TASTE The difference albarino 2016, RIAS baixas, Galicia, Spain (£8.50, Sainsbury’s)

Spain’s answer to muscadet, the crisp, clean flavours of albarino (Galicia’s flagship grape) have a natural affinity for seafood. a brisk style with floral aromas, inviting peach and apricot notes, even some green apple and lime, well-balanced acidity and a zesty minerality makes it just the ticket with seafood tapas, grilled fish and even paella.

exquisite collection clare valley RIESLING 2017, australia (£6.99, aldi)

a dry riesling with grassy aromas, limey acidity and a streak of minerality that works so well with shrimp and a squeeze of lime (or any foods that have ‘green’ flavours, such as Thai seafood curry). But with sun-kissed apple, lime and lemony notes you might expect in a riesling from down Under, there’s depth and intensity. Lots of fun and great value.

abbotts & delaunay FRUITS Sauvage Sauvignon blanc 2017, South of france (£9.99, Majestic)

With a commitment to quality over quantity, abbotts & delaunay have sealed their reputation as a premium producer in the Languedoc. This new release sings from the glass and captures sauvignon blanc’s classic character - but with a roundness, complexity and blossomy, fruity freshness. again, a perfect partner with fish stews, sardines, shellfish, grilled fish and, of course, fresh crab.

anselmo Mendes alvarinho 2017, portugal (£13.49, laithwaites)

a Terrific introduction to portuguese alvarinho (albarino) from the Vinho Verde region, this is a floraledged, seriously stylish expression, with ripe peach, tropical fruits and a hint of lemon mingling on a silky palate with beams of freshness from beginning to end. While it pairs equally well with sardines or grilled fish, this wine has an intensity that should really be appreciated on its own before you dive into the food.
