Brighten up grey February days with these three bottles...

From Spain

Torre Solar Macabeo, Sobre Lias 2014

Intense citric and tropical flavours of limes and pineapples explode on the palate in this dynamic, refreshing white made from the Macabeo grape in the Castile-La Mancha region of central Spain. Glorious with prawns or any kind of shellfish. £7.99, thesolentcellar.co.uk; £8, thegoodwineshop.co.uk

From New Zealand

Shorn Limited Black Edition Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is so ubiquitous because it is so reliable – precisely the case in this new brand, which is full of the distinctive grass-and-gooseberry- meets-tropical fruit flavours. Straightforward, fun, easily drinkable, for all occasions. £7, Morrisons

From Italy

Vermentino Sicilia Mandrarossa 2014

More easy-drinking versatility in this excellent Sicilian Wine Society white, whose wines under £10 consistently offer great value for money. Made by the reliable Mandrarossa co-operative, it bursts with zingy peach, lime and lychee flavours. Ideal for parties, canapés and all types of seafood. £5.95, thewinesociety.com
