Following on from our rosé wine special, here are some whites to enjoy this summer.
Louis Jadot Mâcon Blanc Villages 2014
This is a superior white wine. Well balanced and ripe. This Chardonnay is soft and creamy with a crisp finish. Very enjoyable.
RRP: £12.05
Stockists: Asda, Nisa, Palmer and Harvey, Wine Rack, Bin 21, The Devine Wine Company, Wimbledon Wine Cellars, Eynsham Cellars, Luvians Bottleshop
An extremely well made and balanced Chardonnay showing the lovely ripe fruit of the Burgundy region that gives a balanced wine with a soft, gentle creamy mouthfeel and crisp apple characters all balanced by just enough fresh acidity. This wine is lovely on its own but also make the perfect partner to fish and chicken dishes at your summer picnic.
Cune Barrel Fermented Blanco 2014
I do like a good Rioja and this one is particularly pleasing. It is 100% Viura grapes and has freshness in abundance. Perfect on a summers day.
RRP: £9.80
Stockists: Waitress.com, Wine Rack, Tanners Wines, Eynsham Cellars, Ellie’s Cellar, The Seriously Good Wine Company, Old Chapel Cellars
This wine will remind you of how good white Rioja can be. Made using 100% Viura grapes, this wines has fresh citrus flavours and a toasty richness on the palate. Just the thing with a chicken salad or grilled fish.
Errazuriz Estate Series Sauvignon Blanc 2015
I am a fan of Errazuriz Estate AND Sauvignon Blanc so this one was bound to go down well. This one is fresh, dry and delicious. Tropical fruit and citrus notes make it ideal for summer.
RRP: £10.30
Stockists: Waitrose, Morrison, Majestic, Wine Rack, Fenwick, Cheers Wine Merchants, Field and Fawcett, Palmer and Harvey, Vino Wines
Fragrant tropical aromas of melon, papaya and passion fruit are mingled with subtle citrus notes. Intense and refreshing, this Sauvignon Blanc shows vibrant acidity and a juicy, elegant finish. Ideal for sipping in the sunshine.
