VIRÉ CLESSÉ CUVÉE SPÉCIALE - BURGUNDY
If you find yourself in "Harvey Nicks", dahling, in Manchester,
and you ask for "White Burgundy" - this is what you'll get!
We're a bit cheaper than Harvey Nix, but either way this is a great example
of white burgundy - full of chardonnay fruit but gentle to drink!

OXFORD LANDING SAUVIGNON BLANC
A part of the massive Yalumba corporation, Oxford Landing is sometimes
mistaken for being from New Zealand. Personally I think it comes very
close to some of the best NZ Sauvignon's - light but with plenty of
flavour - nice screw-top for easy access!!

WHISTLING DUCK SEMILLON CHARDONNAY, NSW, AUSTRALIA
Another Australian - Semillon is most famously used for its lusciousness
in wines from the Sauternes district (sweet). When combined with chardonnay
the sweetness is barely evident and the fruit comes through to create
a very easy going drinkable white that can handle strong and spicy
foods. |

ESTEVA, CASA FERREIRINHA , FERRIERA, PORTUGAL, 2001
Part of the Ferreira group, now owned by Sogrape, the largest port producer
in the country, who have revolutionised the production of unfortified
wines. Douro as an area has always made great Port, but this is a fab
example of what Portugal can do. |

CLOOF BUSH VINE CABERNET SAUVIGNON
South Africa is often famed for its Pinotage, but I think they are better
suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The Bush Vine seems to soften the tannins
a little too. Cloof are 200km north of Cape Town and benefit from the
searing heat softened by gentle sea-breezes - bags of flavour. |
