WHITES FOR FISH AND SHELLFISH
White wines that work wonders with seafood.
Waitrose & Partners Arinto 2018 Lisboa, Portugal (£7.99, Waitrose)
This arinto offers the same instant pleasure as, say, a sauvignon blanc, and doesn't hold back when it comes to lemony freshness. There's also a burst of fine acidity to pair with oily fish such as mackerel, or salted cod and chips.
Alma Andina Torrontes 2018, Salta, Argentina (£9.99, Laithwaite's)
A light, bright and breezy wine, this floraledged torrontes offers fragrant notes of honeysuckle and lemon, crisp citrus and peach flavours, and a delightfully refreshing finish. A great match with most shellfish and seafood.
Invivo X, SJP Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Marlborough, New Zealand (£12, Sainsbury's)
Actress, producer, designer and oenophile – Sarah Jessica Parker is all of these. The Sex And The City Star has teamed up with Invivo, a New Zealand winery, to put her name to a sauvignon blanc.
The wine offers a vibrant mix of green tropical fruit notes with a lively citrus and grapefruit character. Pair it with garlic prawns, seared scallops with rocket pesto, or spiced crab cakes.
