Fresh and light with delicate floral notes and a flinty, mineral finish, this organic French viognier is a treat. Lip-smacking. Available from ND John Wine Merchants, Eden Fine Wines, Peter Graham Wines, The Wine Shop and Vagabond Wines.
6 Artesano de Argento Organic Fairtrade Malbec-Cabernet Franc (£10.50, 14.%)
