Comte de Senneval, Brut, Champagne, France 2014 90
£19.99 Lidl
Great value for a vintage Champagne, at just £20. This is all about crisp red apple and red-berry fruit – vibrant, youthful and fresh. There’s a subtle biscuity character, but this wine is first and foremost about fruit intensity. AW Alcohol 12.5%
Céu na Terra, Alvarinho, Vinho Verde, Portugal 2019 90
£16.95 Red & White Wines
From the alluvial terraces of Monção e Melgaço, made by Liam Steevenson MW and Joana Santiago. Razor-sharp acidity, breezy freshness and fresh aromatics: honeysuckle, peach, melon, citrus. Lees texture; zingy green apple and citrus palate. JS Alc 13%
Klein Constantia, Riesling, Constantia, South Africa 2016 90
£16-£18.95 The Champagne Co, Wine Direct
A touch of residual sugar gives a succulent peach juice and candied Alc 13%
