Prosecco Colli Trevigiani Sacchetto
Recommended in the Daily Telegraph: “highly drinkable, a great pick-me-up.”
Perfect party wine! Selected here to be a very different alternative to Champagne in every way; it is semi-sparkling so does not attract the higher Sparkling Duty rate. Prosecco grape is very much a light, fruity, versatile wine. Perfect also as a pre-dinner aperitif. Paolo Sacchetto’s Estate in the north east of Italy produces a range of wines, but this Prosecco is the one which stood out for me. Dry and fruity.

Sanz Rueda 100% Verdejo
A shoe-in for our Twelve Wines of Christmas. Rueda has firmly established itself as one of the premium white wine regions of Spain with the white Verdejo grape as arguably its star attraction. This 100% Verdejo epitomises the style – it’s a young, dry, light, fresh fruity style with minerality and complexity. Drink now to end 2020.

“The Manchu Bride” Muscat from The Treaty Port Estate China
From a vineyard established in 2005 on the Shandong peninsula by Chris Ruffle comes this crisp Muscat with a hint of sweetness, which won gold medal at the China Wine & Spirit Awards in Hong Kong. The 2018 vintage produced a high quality juice which was cold-fermented to retain the floral, lychee character of the wine. Drink chilled with seafood? Or just on its own.

Verus Muskateller (Muscat) Slovenia
Previous vintage recommended by Jancis Robinson FT; Recommended Refreshers. Lovely floral scents of muscat and orange followed on the palate by a fresh and well-balanced crispness which beautifully complements the not-quite-sweet mouthfeel. (Yes, that sounds rather confusing, but I urge you to try it with maybe a citrus pudding, or just on its own.)

Verus Furmint, Slovenia
Verus Furmint, Slovenia
Each year the wonderful people at Verus produce consistently dazzling, pure, clean, fruity, mouthwatering wines.
One previous vintage was selected as Top 25 Whites for Christmas 2012 by Jancis Robinson MW Financial Times. But there are many more such recommendations.
Furmint (aka Tokay in Hungary) can produce sweet wines, but here it’s dry and fruity and bang on line with the rest of the range from Verus. That is to say “A no-brainer”

Verus Riesling, Slovenia
Verus Riesling, Slovenia
Verus wines need little commentary. They are all superb, demonstrating what Jancis Robinson called “a purity of fruit” when we shipped their first ever vintage in 2008. This Riesling is delciously characteristic of the slightly petrolly flavours you get with classic Rieslings. Zingy and refreshing.

Herbert Zillinger Gruner Veltliner “Neuland” Sorry – OOS until new vintage comes in.
Herbert Zillinger Gruner Veltliner “Neuland”
In addition to the notes below, also recommended by Jancis Robinson in the FT 5th Dec 2020;
2019 was a great year for Austrian whites and this has a remarkable concentration of spicy flavour and fruit for a wine with only 11.5% alcohol. Great value for a pure cocktail of flowers and white pepper.
I have nothing to add to Jancis Robinson’s tasting note;
“Remarkably intense, pungent nose for an 11.5% wine. Deep golden colour. Really concentrated fruit flavour with none of the fermentation aromas that can mark some young Grüners. Lots of extract and a pure cocktail of flowers and white pepper. VVGV

Mooi Bly Chenin Blanc
The return of an old friend. Erik & Liesbet’s Chenin Blanc was the only one to hit the spot for me when we first visited South Africa. This new 2019 vintage is in. Hues of fresh, green edges make the colour very inviting. The nose is almost spicy and minerally at the same time. The palate is complex; dry and minerally but still quite rich. A very satisfying white wine.
