Mud House is one of the biggest names in Marlborough. They’re known for their zingy & deliciously fresh wines, which are textbook examples of Marlborough Sauvignon. Ever since we introduced it, this zesty white has been a firm customer favourite. It's the perfect 'just in case' wine to have in the fridge door. It’s intensely refreshing & bursting with tropical-fruit aromas. Think passionfruit, grapefruit, melon & citrus. Perfect with Thai fishcakes. ...

The Woolshed Vineyard is one of Mud House's own estate-owned vineyard sites, & was established in 2002 in the upper Wairau Valley, on the combination of hillsides & alluvial flats that characterise classic Marlborough terroir. Bright, punchy & zesty on the nose, combining passion fruit & grapefruit with hints of green peppers. Crisp & mouthwatering on the palate, which overflows with fresh fruit flavour. Mud House recommends pairing with aromatic prawn fish cakes. ...

Muga is considered winemaking royalty in Rioja. They’re the only cellar in Spain with a master cooper & three in-house barrel-makers. But their expertise goes beyond their world-famous reds. Their delicious Cava has all the character & complexity to rival some of the finest Champagnes. Made in the traditional method, it undergoes a slow & lengthy secondary fermentation over 3-4 months. & this patience results in the perfect balance between flavour & finely textured bubbles. A blend of native Viura & Chardonnay, it’s a complex & textured reminder of why Cava is enjoying such a forceful resurgence in popularity. It’s fresh & elegant, with complex & creamy notes of lemon, grapefruit & biscuit, plus hints of fresh pastry & dried fruits. ...

Long before their world-renowned Maison was founded in 1827, the Mumm family were producing wine in Germany’s Rhine Valley. Brothers Gottlieb, Jacobus & Philipp saw potential in producing sparkling wine in northern France, & decided to set up a new wing of the business there. As you can probably imagine, they never looked back. Today the famous Champagne house has championed innovation in the vineyard & cellar, while still staying true to the traditional winemaking methods of the region. Their iconic Cordon Rouge cuvée blends Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier & Chardonnay from more than 120 local villages in a rich & complex wine underlined by notes of vanilla, pastry, dried fruit & honey. Try it white meat or fish, or sip on its own as an aperitif. ...

The Côtes du Marmandais are situated only 70km south of Bordeaux but classified as a South-West appellation. The wines are usually a blend of the classic Bordeaux varities but also include small percentages of local grapes such as Abouriou, as this one does. Lots of ripe, brambly fruit with spicy notes & a firm yet balanced finish. Tannins are fairly robust but not bitter & length is fairly long. Drink with lean but rich dark meat or goat's cheese, this wine will reward drinkers over the next 5 years. ...

Made by Les Dix du Pallet, a cooperative of 10 growers based in Le Pallet, a 'cru' village in the south-east of the Loire region between the rivers Sevre & Maine. This is a rare, high-quality example of a mature, partially oak-fermented Muscadet. A unique style that shows plenty of evolved characteristics, including subtle nut, brioche & caramelised pear aromas that mingle with Muscadet's typical citrus & mineral backbone. Drink with fine fish or seafood. ...

Muscadet comes from the area around the city of Nantes, where the Loire Valley region nears the Atlantic coast, & has therefore developed a famous association with seafood. This example is made by Lacheteau, a family winery based in nearby Anjou. Clean, crisp & refreshing, this classic Muscadet has a backbone of lemon & lime flavour with a hint of minerality, fresh acidity & a delicately herbaceous edge. At its best with simple white fish & seafood dishes. Try with smoked haddock. ...

A selection of white wines that you simply must have this spring. There is something for all occasions, a zingy Sauvignon Blanc for your seafood starters, fresh french white for everyday drinking starters & a creamy Chardonnay to accompany your main. ...

This is an exclusive blend created by Majestic’s rosé buyer, Matt Fowkes & winemaker Noémie Delavigne. Mythral plays homage to the fable of the dragon of Provence, ‘ La Coulobre’. The name ‘ Mythral’ is an ode to both the myth of this dragon & the Mistral wind that blows through the Provence region. With its light, elegant & aromatic profile, Mythral is everything you want a Provence rosé to be. Celebrating the hallmarks of the south of France landscape – fields of lavender & poppies, Mediterranean Sea, reliable sunshine – the wine is made from vineyards that stretch from the Varois hinterland down to the coast, with altitudes scraping 500m in some cases. Winemaker Noémie Delavigne trained in Champagne & has worked in France’s finest wine regions, now crafting this enchanting bottling with zippy flavours of red berries, white peach & citrus with a mineral finish. It makes for a great aperitif but also try it with shellfish, fresh salads or even chocolate. ...

They're blessed by excellent soil quality & sea breezes from the Pacific. This Riesling is slightly off-dry in style. It has notes of honeysuckle, ripe apricot & lime, with a mineral undercurrent & zippy acidity. Some grapes affected by botrytis were added to provide a honeyed richness. Try it with duck. ...
