Vilarnau, Reserva Brut Cava, Catalonia Spain NV O
£10 Ocado, Tesco
A blend of Macabeo, Parellada and Chardonnay, vinified separately before blending to produce a fresh, citrussy fizz with exuberant bubbles. Creamy almond notes, a touch of salinity and a honeyed finish add interest. Simple but well made – and great value. JS Alc 11.5%
Boschendal, Rosé Brut, Western Cape, South Africa NV
£14.49 The General Wine Co
Pinot Noir forms the core of this blend (72%), along with 10% Pinotage, which adds lifted floral notes. The 20% of reserve wine gives depth and ripe raspberry richness, and it doesn’t go through malo, so there’s real freshness to the juicy strawberry and red apple fruit. TG Alc 12.5%
