| "There's more to Marlborough than Sauvignon Blanc and New Zealand Riesling is developing really well. Enjoy the crisp scent of apple blossom with lively citrus and passion fruit flavours in this wine. Team it with lightly spiced Thai or Chinese food." Christine Austin, Yorkshire Post (2007 vintage) |
|
"Clean, fruity dry white, with a smell of ripe gooseberry and a hint of peach and passion fruit, then a crisp, zesty taste mixing gooseberry with green apple. Lovely with seafood, salads or goats' cheese."
Newcastle Journal (2006 vintage) |

“Bégude is one of southern France’s most impressive winemaking operations, and this chardonnay should win it yet more fans. Reminiscent of a very smart Chablis, it’s a fiver less than you’d expect something this beautiful to cost,” Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail, 26 April 2008 (2006 vintage) |
|
"You can almost always rely on St Hallett. This slightly eye-popping Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon / Riesling blend bounces around in your mouth, alternating between the zing of citrus and softer melon. A good on-its-own wine, or try with Thai-marinaded prawns." Victoria Moore, The Guardian, Saturday 3 May 2008. (2006 vintage) |

“From top Argentinian producer Concho y Toro is a 13.5 per cent white which is crisp, fresh and fruity with that characteristic viognier touch of peach. It has a strong enough character to go with most foods, or enjoy it on its own,” Tim Curran, The Daily Mirror, 26 April 2008 (2006/07 vintage) |
|
"Lovely, lovely, peachy, aromatic white with rich, ripe fruit and a whiff of honeysuckle. Match with a mild creamy curry,” Susy Atkins, The Sunday Telegraph, 27 April 2008 (2007 vintage) |

“Tangy and ripe, with rich elderflower fruit,” Joanna Simon, The Sunday Times, 27 April, 2008 (2007 vintage) |

| “With a lovely aroma of peach and lemon, this organic white is sweet and fruity in the mouth with a light, spicy freshness,” Jamie Goode, Sunday Express, 20 April 2008 (2006 vintage) |
|
“Has a wonderful sense of place, jolting you straight into the cool tufa of the chateaux-filled Loire. A ‘serious’ cabernet franc, sinewy, profound and braced. What’s more, 2005 was a super vintage across France, and it put some flesh on the sometimes very light Loire reds. Take advantage of it,” Victoria Moore, The Guardian, April 19 2008 (2005 vintage)

“Made from the rare Jacquère grape, this aromatic, light-bodied, faintly spritzy white is crisp and grapefruity with lovely, palate-tingling acidity,” Tim Atkin, The Observer Magazine, 20 April 2008 (2007 vintage) |
|
“Distinctly off-dry but delicious and succulent, with a taste of baked apples. Try it with mild cheeses and fresh fruit,” Susy Atkin, The Sunday Telegraph, 20 April 2008, (2006 vintage) |
