The Spanish white Albarino grape is growing fast in popularity as something distinctly different from Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.
This one from the Rias Baixas region of Galicia in the verdant North is crisp, dry and quite peachy but still fresh enough to go well with fish, seafood or rice dishes.
Just 12.5% alcohol – try it.
Morrisons Pinot Noir 2012, £7.99, Morrisons
The label shows a tightrope walker midway between two peaks, one sunny and the other being drenched in rain.
It’s perhaps a metaphor for the difficulties involved in making decent Pinot Noir wine.
This Chilean from the Casablanca Valley, made especially for Morrisons, gets it right though with bags of rich fruit that tastes great chilled – and all for £7.99!
