2007 Steeple Jack Unwooded Chardonnay

I like the Ballast Stone winery's jolly label but even more I love the fresh, ripe, peach and pineappley fruitiness of this tropical Australian chardonnay.

£4.99, Tesco

Under a Tenner

2007 Anakena Single Vineyard Viognier

This aromatic wine from Chile's Rapel Valley combines floral scents with rich, peachy fruit and a light touch of oak.

£8.46, buy two get three price = £5.66, Threshers, Wine Rack

Splash Out

Churton Pinot Noir, Marlborough

This great raspberryish pinot noir from Brit Sam Weaver is a finely crafted wine that's not a million miles from fine Savigny-les-Beaune.
