Spent one year in barrel and offers a big step up from Petit Chablis, but still good value. All citrus, but with flickers of stone fruit and hazelnut, and a smidge of richness, but still drinks clean.

Garnier & Fils Chablis 2023

A bottle to celebrate with, gift, or make the most of a night/day with! Deliciously open and creamy with white flowers, honey blossom and a pinch of salinity. This is punching above its weight so look out Champagne, here comes another breathtaking Crémant!

Domaine des Huards Initia Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir NV

This is a light expression complete with violets and lifted aromatics. Yes, there’s some raspy tannins and salinity but everything’s still clear, colourful and fun. Great wine.

Matias Riccetelli Gualtallary Garnacha 2022

Raspberry and light red fruits on the nose. There’s a great oceanic influence here – does anyone not love salty wines? It also looks and smells like watermelon and strawberries, and washes down clean and refreshing. Very yum.

Alessandro Viola Rose Nerello Mascalese Blend 2023

Plump thanks to a nice fleshy nose and some subtle stone fruit skins. The palate is zippy and alive with minerally citrus juices. It does feel a little tight so enjoy swirling it, or give it some time in a decanter. Grown in the north-eastern part of Sicily, looking across the Strait of Messina, where it’s beautiful all year round.
