This old (pasada) Manzanilla comes from the heralded Hidalgo family where it is blended by the head 'capitaz' Antonio Sanchez. To acquire such knowledge as a capitaz requires a lifetime of dedication, as they must be familiar with the taste of every cask in the Bodega. An intense nose of apple skins & nuts leads on to a palate characterised by classic notes of almonds, orange peel & a salty twang. A prolonged finish marks this out as a wine of real quality. This Manzanilla should be served chilled as a stunning aperitif. ...

Cannonau might not sound all that familiar, but you’ll almost certainly have tasted it before – this is Spain’s Garnacha grape, but gone Italian. It especially thrives on the island of Sardinia, where influences from the surrounding sea help to cool the vineyards & prevent grapes from over-heating. The wine, which is crafted by a father & son team, is a winner twinned with Claire's lamb recipe. ...

Marcarini Roero Arneis DOCG 2021/2022

When it comes to Piedmont white wine, centuries-old Arneis is a signature grape. The name translates as ‘little rascal’ in local dialect – seemingly named because it’s tricky to grow – and perhaps the reason it almost became extinct. That hasn’t stopped the Marchetti family from carrying on the tradition. Sixth-generation winemaker Elisa Marchetti makes this one in Roero from vineyards 300 metres above sea level. The high altitude and a tank fermentation method helps to preserve the grapes' natural fruity flavour and freshness. Expect fresh peach and floral aromas. A note of crisp green apple will pair brilliantly with roast pork.
