Sunshine in a bottle: The freshest, lightest vintages to sip this summer

Imagine a smoky, tarry Crozes-Hermitage with added New World opulence , and you'll find that this new-vintage syrah from Chile's northern coastal Elqui Valley displays all the requisite smoke and spice, adding a twist of black pepper to the blackberryish fruit quality on display. £9.99, Sainsbury's
