Something For The Weekend: 2002 Neil Ellis Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc<br></br>2002 Kumala Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon<br></br>Jacob's Creek Dry Riesling 2002 Australia

Saturday: 2002 Neil Ellis Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc, £7.99, Safeway

Announcing its refreshing aromatic presence, floral and herbaceous notes give way to a mouthwatering palate of rich, nettley, gooseberryish sauvignon blanc with a tongue-tingling zing. Open a bottle of this Cape jewel to go with smoked salmon - if you're a perfectionist on a cracker with a squeeze of lime.

Sunday: 2002 Kumala Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, £6.99, Tesco

This nubile and aromatic young red from the Cape is less oaky and more lusciously fruity than in previous vintages giving it immediate appeal, and a succulently juicy, red- berry fruit quality that's hard to resist. A red that goes equally well with barbecues and Sunday roasts.

Any day: Jacob's Creek Dry Riesling 2002 Australia, Reduced to £4.49, Waitrose (until 1 June)

My favourite in the Jacob's Creek range by some distance, this new screw-capped aromatic dry white is fragrantly lemon and lime-scented, with plenty of juicy, citrus-peel fruitiness to accompany fish or salads, or be drunk on its own, lightly chilled. The £1-off promotion for the next week makes it all the more worthwhile.
