With the weather warming up and the
evenings getting lighter you’ll soon be itching to get out into the
sunshine.
This week, why not give these fresh
whites a go as you catch some spring rays over lunch or in the
garden at the weekend.
We’re convinced you’ll love the
fruity and aromatic Alsace Pinot Grigio 2007, £7.49 at M&S. It has a
juicy, enticing flavour of green apples and peaches and a ripe,
rounded but dry finish. Opulent and clean. Perfect for sociable
get-togethers! |

New Zealand’s fresh and lively Nobilo Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc,
from Sainsbury’s (was £8.15 now £5.43), is the ideal choice for a
Spring aperitif. Coming from the coast of the beautiful south
island, it shows a distinctive bouquet of tropical and citrus fruit,
gooseberry and passion fruit. Its crisp and zesty characters with a
refreshing finish makes it equally enjoyable with other springtime
treats such as prawn, pea and mint risotto, chicken Caesar salad and
any sort of seafood.
The petite, hand-made Dindarello
Maculan 2006 37.5cl, £9.49 from Oddbins will have you dreaming of
those up-coming summer days in no time. A world-class dessert wine
made in the passito style by a leading family owned Italian, Veneto
winery. The half bottle size makes it ideal to finish off a dinner
party or simply to sip on your own. It’s fruity, seductively sweet,
and has a ravishing floral perfume with a balancing citrus vibrancy.
And finally, say ‘Hello Spring’
with the Cuvée de la Chevalerie Méthode Traditionnelle, £9.99
available at Nicolas. This supple and fruity cuvée is ideally served
at 8ºC and goes brilliantly with white meat, grilled fish and fruit
pies. What better way to put a spring in your step! |
