Wine: Something for the weekend?
Under £5
Tigress Sparkling Rosé Pinot Noir Chardonnay, Bay of Fires NV
Fizz buy of the year? This Tasmanian Majestic 'deal' must be close: its berry fruit showing the soft texture of bottle age, its raspberryish aftertaste still fresh and dry.
£4.99, Majestic
Under £10
2006 Spier Vintage Selection Shiraz Mourvèdre Viognier
Rich and spicy, this Western Cape blend of three Rhône varieties is full-flavoured with mulberry and damson fruitiness, undertones of vanilla and a savoury nip of fresh acidity.
£9.81, Asda
Splash out
2008 Mullineux White, Swartland
Blending chenin blanc with clairette and viognier, the lees stirring in cask of this Cape dry white brings complexity to an old vine; rich dried fruit cut by citrusy acidity.
£13.95, Berry Bros & Rudd (0800 280 2440)
