Chapel Down, Sparkling Bacchus, England NV 89
£19.99 Majestic
Bacchus is fast becoming England’s signature grape, and this sparkling version is an easy introduction into English fizz. It may not have the cachet of the Champagne varieties, but it offers gooseberry scents with smooth notes of cut grass, lime and juicy stone fruits. Slips down easily. JB Alcohol 12%
Delaire Graff, Chenin Blanc Reserve, Swartland, South Africa 2018 92
£16.95-£18 The Secret Cellar, Twelve Green Bottles
A delicious, complex wine from 30- to 40-year-old vines. With an array of tropical and mineral flavours, expressive citrus and touches of almond and honey, it has a lovely weight making it great for food pairing. Vibrant, and great value! GH Alc 13.5%
