FIVE TO TRY

-

Zapallares Reserva Riesling 2019 CASABLANCA

Fresh and zesty with a vivid streak of lime. Much drier than rieslings you’ll find from Germany or elsewhere in Europe, this would be great with ceviche and other raw seafood, or Mexican dishes such as tacos. £10.50. davy.co.uk

Macerao Orange 2021 ITATA

Orange wine (also known as ‘amber wine’), is in vogue, and this inexpensiv­e example from the Itata Valley is redolent of quince, orange blossom and dried apricots. It works well with roasted vegetables such as cauliflowe­r, aubergines and squash. £8.99. waitrose.com

Miguel Torres La Causa País 2017 I TATA

Among the first European producers to set up in Chile, Miguel Torres proves pais grapes can produce wines with the finesse of pinot noir. Duck is a classic pairing, but guineafowl or chicken would also work. £10.50. winestoree­ccleston.co.uk

Tesco Finest Peumo Carmenere 2019 CACHAPOAL

A reliable example of the carménère grape at a terrific price. A smooth, plummy wine, it tastes like merlot but with a herby, peppery edge. It goes very well with lamb curry, especially if it includes coriander. £8 tesco.com

Undurraga Cauquenes Estate Carignan 2019 MAULE

Carignan can be rustic, but when it’s made — as here — from 60-year-old Maule Valley grapes, it takes on a dense, velvety character. A terrific match for venison, beef and ox cheek stews. £9.25. thewinesoc­iety.com
