SOME STYLISH MUST-TRY WINES TO SNAP UP NOW

-

Love wine but tired of the same old same? Unlike the beauty and fashion world, you can’t always try the wine before you buy it, but here’s our pay day treat ideas...

1. M&S Colour Me Chilean Sauvignon Blanc 2017, Chile (£8, Marks & Spencer)

Make your wine Instagram worthy... M&S have partnered with colouring book artist Daisy Fletcher, to create a label that you can colour in. The fresh savvy blanc has a lovely limey, tangy finish too.

2. Taste the Difference Cotes Du Ventoux Rhone Valley 2016, France (£10, Sainsbury’s)

A lovely surprise, this is a generous red that wraps its arms around you and brings a smile from the very first sip. A rhapsody of raspberry and spice, the peppery bouquet tickles the senses and the velvety smooth palate has lush berry fruits, with a spike of earthy liquorice.

3. Passimento Bianco 2016 Pasqua, Verona, Italy (£9.99 mix six, £11.99 per bottle, Majestic Wine)

A luxurious white made from the garganega grape that’s used to make Suave, it’s clean and refreshing, while still feeling rich with concentrat­ed aromas and hints of sweet spices.

4. Kaapzicht Kliprug Bush Vine Chenin Blanc Stellenbos­ch 2017, South Africa (£13, Waitrose)

Deliciousl­y rich, a lively pulse of pineapple, peach and yellow apple shapes this wine’s creamy, oak influenced flavours, with fresh acidity balancing the fruitiness. Kaapzicht (meaning Cape View) comes from the view from the vineyards over Cape Town and the vino is as uplifting.
