WINE TO DINE

Wine columnist Peter Ranscombe reels in five bottles that will make a splash with seafood.

CASTELLORE PASSERINA 2019 Aldi

£5.99

An Italian bargain that balances crisp acidity and subtle peach flavours, so it won’t go overpowering the potted crab. Delicious on its own too.

ORMARINE CUVEE CONCHILYA PICPOUL DE PINET 2019

Marks & Spencer

£9

All the Southern French freshness we could want to pair with our Thai mussels.

SANTATRESA RINA IANCA GRILLO VIOGNIER 2019 Vintage Roots

£10.75

That combo of Scots and Italian flavours in the smoked haddock macaroni will sing with this organic Sicilian star.

KWVTHE MENTORS CHENIN BLANC 2019 Aitken Wines

£15.99

This impressive South African chenin – with grapes from the Paarl and Swartland areas – will slice through the cheese enveloping those scallops.

FOX RUN VINEYARDS DRY RIESLING 2017 Inverarity Morton

£16.40 Riesling is a classic match for seafood, and this New York bottle adds crispness to the crunch of the haddock wrap.
