DRINK Trio of must-try wines

-

LOVE wine but tired of the same old red, white or rose? To make it easier to branch out, we’ve gone on a quick cellar tour and snapped up some must-try wines.

M&S has partnered colouring book artist Daisy Fletcher to create a wine label that’s designed to be coloured in with a weekly prize draw. This beautifull­y fresh savvy blanc has just the right measure of greenness and a lovely limey, tangy finish.

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 is saturated with lush berry fruits, with a spike of earthy liquorice on the sweetly ripe finish.

A luxurious white made from the garganega grape that is used to make soave, here it’s veered in a bright, floral direction with intense spring flowers on the nose and fresh flavours of tropical fruits and juicy peaches. Clean and refreshing with hints of sweet spices, this wine is suited to spicy Asian food.
