Weekday wines

Mirabeau, La Folie, Vin de France, Southeast France 91

£14.99 Waitrose

A delicate sparkling made by the Charmat method (the same as Prosecco) to retain fresh red fruit flavours alongside zesty citrus. Made from Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache and Colombard grown in Provence and the Luberon, it has crisp acidity and a satisfyingly long finish. A great aperitif. GH Alcohol 11.5%

Yangarra, Estate Roussanne, McLaren Vale, South Australia 2018 91 O

£16.99 All About Wine

Poised aromas of waxy yellow fruit open to a more expressive palate. It’s broad and complex with a yeasty mouthfeel, layers of dried peach, apricot and hay, smoky minerals and a creamy finish. The acidity just balances the plush fruit and it should age into a savoury beauty. TG Alc 13%

Feudo Antico, Passerina, Tullum, Abruzzo, Italy 201990
