Sunday lunch

Pazo Señorans Albariño, Rias Baixas, 2013

To be sipped on a sun-drenched terrace, with scallops, razor clams and percebes, the shellfish of north-western Spain, which is the home of this lovely white from an outstanding producer. Long-lasting mineral flavours of lemons, grapefruit, apples and a hint of green herbs. Wonderful. £16.95, darleyabbeywines.co.uk (minimum six-bottle order); £19.99 (or £14.99 each for two as part of purchase of minimum six mixed bottles), Majestic

Midweek meal

Argento Seleccion Malbec 2014

Luscious, perfectly balanced Malbec, with fresh flavours of black berry fruits, chocolate and mocha, with soft, supple tannins, making this easy to drink. Great for barbecued meats. £9, winedirect.co.uk (minimum six-bottle order); £8.95, slurp.co.uk

Bargain basement

Marques de Casa Concha Syrah 2012

Chile is not just about chocolatey Carménère or bracing Sauvignon blanc; this is a full-blooded, food-friendly Syrah with some peppery spice and vanilla from oak-ageing, but also with enough time to soften around the edges and allow the rich fruit flavours full expression. £8 (until Tuesday, normally £11.95), Tesco
