The 10 Best Autumn white wines

Menus change with the weather and so should your wines. Here's i's selection of top bottles to bring out the season's flavour...

1. The Adnams Selection Pinot Grigio 'La Corte'

£8.99, cellarandkitchen.adnams.co.uk

A clean, fresh and lively palate and finishes on a twist of citrus. A treat with mushroom risotto.

2. El Guia Blanco 2011 Vino de Mesa Spain

£3.99, waitrosedirect.com

Fresh and light wine is made with a splash of verdejo and sauvignon blanc and is astoundingly good, given the price tag.

3. Tesco Finest Marlborough Autumn Picked Riesling 2011

£9.99, tesco.com

Slightly sweet, with a hint of melon and raisins, but alongside that rich, fruity taste there's a citrus zing – like a crunchy apple.

4. Castelnau de Suduiraut Sauternes 2007

£12.75 half bottle, fromvineyardsdirect.com

Nectar, particularly with apple crumble or rhubarb fool, at a fraction of the price you'd expect.

5. Elegant Frog Viognier

£8.49, sainsburys.co.uk

Viognier is a fantastic partner to roast chicken, guinea fowl, tagines and mild curries, so what better time of year to crack open a bottle? Silly name but a stunner.

6. Godello Alma de Blanco, Galicia

£7.75, oddbins.com

Medium-bodied wine is concentrated, but nicely balanced. Boasting luscious aromas of tropical fruits, pear and apricot.

7. Fortnum's Pouilly Fuisse Terres de Pierres, Verget

£18.50, fortnumandmason.com

Specially made for F&M, it has terrific minerality and fruit intensity, while still crisp and fresh.

8. Vega de la Reina Verdejo 2011

£5.99, majestic.co.uk

Great with rice or seafood pasta dishes. It's as crisp and refreshing as sauvignon blanc, but with softer melon and petal touches.

9. Golden Valley Grasevina, Croatia 2011

£6.99, marksandspencer.com

A heart-warming partner for roast chicken and pork with crackling, this generous white is from the hills of Kutjevo in Croatia.

10. 2011 War Horse Chenin Blanc, South Africa

£8.60, jascots.co.uk

Explosively refreshing and cleansing. Pair it with food as it easily has enough vibrancy and freshness.
