WINE TO DINE

Wine columnist Peter Ranscombe finds five bottles that will flourish with Flora’s recipes...

LOVED & FOUND ELBLING Waitrose

£6.99

A little-known German grape – sitting somewhere between riesling and gewurztraminer – that will hit the spot with Thai green curry.

YEALANDS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2020 Sainsbury’s

£8

Tarragon can be a torment for wine matching, but New Zealand’s sauvignons pack a suitably tropical punch.

CASA DEL BOSQUE SAUVIGNON BLANC RESERVA 2018 De Burgh Wine

£9.49

A more savoury style of sauvignon that will sing alongside the asparagus, and slice through the rich ricotta in the tart.

GD VAJRA MOSCATO D’ASTI Aitken Wines

£15.95

Light on alcohol but full on flavour, Moscato – Italy’s lightly sparkling sweet wine – is great with all sorts of cakes, including frangipani.

QUINTA DA PEDRA ALTA 10-YEAR-OLD TAWNY PORT Master of Malt

£24.95 for 500ml Tawny port is a classic match for chocolate in many of its various forms and will stand up to the depth of rye’s flavour.
