Easter weekend doesn't have to mean pigging out on chocolate, so forget Lindt and go for Lindemans instead. This luscious Aussie sweetie is a perfumed, rich blend of the aromatic riesling and traminer grapes with an unctuously juicy mouthful of lime marmalade-like fruitiness, staying fresh to the last drop.

It isn't the first and won't be the last time you read here about the exceptional 2001 vintage from the southern Rhône. This vibrant red from Jean-Louis Emmanuel slips down effortlessly, combining spice and smooth Mediterranean fruit in equal measure and fine balance. Decant and accompany with the roast – Pascal lamb, preferably.

The new vintage of Yalumba's sauvignon blanc from Australia's Riverland is better than ever. Refreshingly aromatic and crisp, and underpinned by ripe, full-bodied gooseberry fruitiness and a refreshing tang, it undercuts just about anything that New Zealand or the Loire can do at the price.
