La Val Albariño 2023

From north-west Spain, this aromatic, food-friendly white has lime blossom, ripe citrus and stone-fruit flavours. It’s ideal for drinking now, but can be kept for up to five years.

Maison Darragon, Vouvray Demi-Sec Heritage 2022

Vouvray demi-sec is one of the Loire's most underrated styles, and Maison Darragon's Héritage bottling is a fine argument for paying it more attention. Made from Chenin Blanc grown on the tuffeau soils of the Vouvray appellation, it sits in that fascinating middle ground between dry and sweet - enough residual sugar to give it weight and generosity, but with Chenin's characteristic acidity keeping everything taut and focused. Quince, beeswax, and preserved lemon dominate, with a waxy, almost lanolin-like texture that is pure Chenin Blanc at its most expressive.
