Pristine cortese from a winery that makes just this one wine – it converted me back to loving gavi. Gavi di Gavi ‘Rovereto’ Picollo 2021 £21 Passione Vino, 13%. White grenache with a splash of viura from the Basque district of Navarra. Lushly textured Mosel gem that walks the tightrope beautifully between fruitiness and perky acidity.Īzul y Garanza Blanco 2021 £17 Modal Wines, 13%. Blisteringly dry own-label that over delivers in lip-smacking drinkability and zestiness.īrauneberger Juffer Riesling Willi Haag 2021 £12.50 The Wine Society, 8%. Boring grigio? This is several notches above the norm, with a whiff of red apple. M&S Classics No 4 Pinot Grigio 2021 £7.50 Marks & Spencer (in store), Ocado, 12.5%. Meursault can wait until the next trade tasting. Everything there seems to deliver the goods, from top-level whites made by iconic producers such as Miani and Ronco del Gnemiz, all the way through to modestly priced yet creditable versions of pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc and friulano, the local indigenous grape (Italian specialist Passione Vino’s £16.99 ‘Le Pianure’ Bianco would make a great introduction to it).Īnd how about one of the priciest regions on the planet – where do wine-trade mavens spend their own cash when it comes to the sharper-priced side of Burgundy? I was recently charmed by one of the best-value chardonnays I’ve had for a long time, a Mâcon-Villages from father and son Robert and Damien Martin on a small estate in the village of Davayé – Domaine de la Denante ( £14.95 or £13.50 by the case of 12, Lea & Sandeman, 13%) is the kind of white I’m happy always to have to hand in the fridge door. ![]() ![]() I often find myself buying whites from the north-east corner of Italy, too, in particular from Friuli, which hugs the border with Slovenia. Chardonnay, Moscato, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling are just a few of the numerous kinds we carry, and our knowledgeable staff can help you find the appropriate. ![]() Whites from the southern Rhône, meanwhile, are often overlooked in favour of the region’s gutsy, flavour-packed reds, but they have plenty of heft and concentration for the price, such as the luscious Côtes du Rhône Villages Sablet ( £14.95 Yapp Brothers, 13.5%), a richly textured blend of viognier, bourboulenc, clairette, roussanne and grenache blanc – phew, quite the roll call of varietals, but a big-impact wine. Or kick things up a notch by trawling the encyclopaedic range at specialist importer The Winery, whose owner David Motion has an unrivalled selection, including Queen Victoria’s favourite from the Rheingau, and named after her, Victoriaberg from Weingut Flick (£21.99, 13%). These are all then stored in an airconditioned warehouse to ensure they are of the best quality when we deliver them to your doorstep.The Waitrose Blueprint own-label (12%) is a great introduction to proper dry German riesling from the steep slate slopes bending around the Mosel River, and, at just £7.99, it’s well worth snaffling a couple of bottles for midweek aperitifs. The Winery.ph team has carefully selected each white wine to ensure that each wine will suit the Filipino palate and suit the Filipino climate. No matter if you like more dry white wines or sweet white wines, you’ll find them all in our curated selection above. Exhibiting flavors of vanilla and oak, Chardonnay has creaminess that pairs well with creamier dishes like mushroom pasta or chicken alfredo. But what about dishes that have a creamy base? This is where Chardonnay wines come in. Pinot Grigio on the other hand is more dry with medium to high acidity and pairs nicely with raw seafood such as kinilaw. Sauvignon Blanc, with its higher acidity and more herbaceous flavors, pairs well with fish that has a tangy sauce or with inihaw na pusit. When temperatures start to rise in the summer months, white wine - especially when chilled - is a refreshing choice perfect for sipping at the beach or at home.
