Vouvray Demi Sec Les Coteaux Tufiers - A deliciously off-dry style of Chenin Blanc with aromas of just-picked walnuts, a hint of lime and ripe melon notes. The palate is honeyed with cooked apple and agave. The sweetness is perfectly integrated and balanced, resulting in a refreshing wine with good length.

Henners Brut, Sussex - This superb non-vintage English sparkling wine, made with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, is a perfect balance of green apple and citrus notes, with the refined, creamy palate that you'd expect from first-class, Champagne-method sparkling wines.

Araldica Gavi DOCG La Luciana - Zesty citrus fruit and lightly floral characters, with hints of apple and pear. Fresh, steely acidity and underlying mineral characters, balanced by notes of melon and stone fruit, and a touch of fennel and spice.

MOKO Black Pinot Noir - This Waipara Pinot Noir reveals lifted red fruit on the nose, a suggestion of chocolate on the palate and cool climate elgance throughout. The producers exploit this coastal fruit by capturing a breezy finesse over the classic cranberry and red current aromas giving us a wine with enough bite and texture to be foody but with enough generosity of fruit to be a delicious glass on its own.

Coterie Semillon Sauvignon Blanc - The nose has an immediate attack of lemongrass and grapefruit with notes of hay and fennel. The palate has a rich textural mouthfeel of lanolin and waxy lemons. Pithy, affermatively tart with bright acidity this would be a joyous accompaniment to oily fish or green curries.

Château Pineraie Cahors Malbec - Intense cherry fruit, blackcurrant and lots of spicy oak. Characterful and complex with a moreish balance of attractive chalky tannins and acidity.
