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. ...

The rolling hills of Maranges are home to around 170 hectares of vines, including 7 Premier Cru sites. This wine comes from a single plot of 40-year-old vines, h&-harvested & sorted. The wine is aged in new & year-old Burgundian oak barrels. Blackberries, red cherries & gentle spices characterise the nose, supported by subtle truffle & liquorice notes. Robust, compact yet nicely supple & well-rounded on the palate. Pair with rustic hams or traditional coq au vin. ...

Portuguese winemaker Rita Marques met South African Superstar Marc Kent whilst Rita was expanding her horizons by working a vintage at Boekenhoutskloof – the estate behind The Chocolate Block. They enjoyed working together so much that they decided to set up a new venture together in Rita's native Portugal.

A blend of indigenous grapes from vines over 90 years old, this wine celebrates Portuguese tradition & modern winemaking. Expect notes of blossom, zesty lemon & crisp grapefruit. The balance of fresh acidity & hints of oak make it a great match with rich fish dishes or chicken in a creamy sauce. ...

Barolo is widely considered Italy's king of wines. Head to the region, & you'll find the dark depths of Poderi Marcarini's winery. They may not make for an enticing holiday destination, but this wine is protected from light & temperature changes while ageing there. This means it can evolve & mature to its best without disruption, perfecting the powerful aromas & preserving unique flavours. The result is a rich, fresh bouquet of violets & roses & a long, intense finish. ...

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 – & 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 & a tank fermentation method helps to preserve the grapes' natural fruity flavour & freshness. Expect fresh peach & floral aromas. A note of crisp green apple will pair brilliantly with roast pork. ...

Marcelo Pelleriti was the first Argentinian winemaker to receive 100 points from legendary wine critic Robert Parker when he worked at Château La violette in Pomerol. He has since brought his talent back to Mendoza, where he made this stunning Malbec exclusively for Majestic customers. It's rich & intense with plum, dried fruit & spicy oak notes, all balanced by fresh acidity on the long finish. Partner with slow-roasted pork. ...

Terras do Sado is a region in Southern Portugal. In comparison to the Douro valley the climate here is warm & maritime, with temperatures moderated by the Atlantic ocean. Rich & full-bodied, showing ripe blackcurrant & blackberry fruits on the nose, & a hint of spiciness on the palate. Makes an excellent partner to hearty meat casseroles or spicy sausage dishes. ...

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. ...

Born in the Leyda Valley, one of Chile's up & coming regions for premium cool coastal varieties, this wonderful Chardonnay has won a raft of awards including Best Chilean Chardonnay at the 2017 Wines of Chile Awards. A fragrant nose with aromas of pineapple, peach, & citrus notes is followed by pineapple & peach on the palate, making this a brilliant wine to enjoy alongside white fish in a rich sauce or roast chicken. Roast chicken ...

Thought Chile ends at good value? Think again. If you do some digging, you can find refined reds on cool-climate sites. Like the Marea. It's made by Nicolas Bizzarri, who previously worked at the iconic Robert Mondavi winery in Napa Valley. Expect notes of blackberry, cherry, black olive & white pepper. Pair this with mushroom risotto. ...
