Wine of the Week!
Stockman’s Station Pinot Noir 2008 (£14.49, Tesco) With delicate truffly aromas and gorgeous nimble fruit on the palate, this is a deft silky red with pleasing intensity and elegant structure.
Top picks
Bellante Sparkling Rosé (£8.99, Marks & Spencer) Very easy to drink and good value with an enticing pale candy pink colour.
Chapel Down English Sparkling Rosé (£19.99, English Wines Group) Lovely intensity and summery English fruit flavours, with hints of blackcurrant zing.
Harrods Rosé Champagne (£25.95, Harrods) Packed with vibrant zesty red fruit flavours along with a wealth of delicate bubbles and a crisp invigorating finish.
Bollinger Grande Année Rosé 2002 (£110, Harrods) It’s polished and fragrantly refreshing fizz with a wealth of tiny sensuous bubbles. If I could hi-five it, I would.
