## Asua Crianza C.V.N.E 2018, £10.99

**Country:** Spain

**Why I Like It:** This bistro Rioja is a delicious aperitif. With notes of blackberries, blackcurrants and liquorice, it’s light, bright and juicy. A stunning bottle for the price.

## Cantine Paolini Nero d’Avola 2019, £11.60

**Country:** Italy

**Why I Like It:** You can’t beat the price for this organic wine – it’s a perfect red for colder days and feels like a warm hug in a glass. It has a round finish, with a velvety, smooth texture.

**Pair It With:** A Sunday roast, with all the trimmings.

## K-Or Clos Troteligotte Malbec 2019, £19.90

**Country:** France

**Why I Like It:** People believe malbec is from Argentina but it actually originated in France. This is an outstanding organic one from Cahors that’s less jammy, with some minerality, making it extremely quaffable. You’ll detect notes of plums, ripe berries, and a hint of herbs.

**Pair It With:** Beef bourguignon or hard cheeses.

## Finca Bacara Time Waits For No One Stone Elephant 2020, £12.98

**Country:** Spain

**Why I Like It:** If you’re after a natural wine, this medium-bodied red from Murcia is very clean on the palate, with notes of dark fruits and spices. Medium tannins mean it’s a crowd-pleaser for autumn.

**Pair It With:** Spicy paella or grilled red meats like lamb.

## Chateau Derezla Dry Tokaji 2020, £13.99

**Country:** Hungary

**Why I Like It:** People mostly know the sweet tokaji from Hungary. Chateau Derezla is a well-made dry white and incredible value for money. With notes of peach, apricot and mandarin, it’s light and fruity.

## Domaine De Bila-Haut Blanc, £9.99

**Country:** France

**Why I Like It:** From the Rhone master M. Chapoutier, this is an amazing value wine from his Bila-Haut domain in the Roussillon. One of the most delicious on this list, it has a nice salinity with a citrusy, smoky profile.

## De Wetshof Bon Vallon Chardonnay 2021, £11.50

**Country:** South Africa

**Why I Like It:** This is a superb chablis equivalent at a fraction of the price. Ideal if you like a crisp white, it’s slightly smoky with flintstone notes.

**Pair It With:** Any seafood, especially oysters or Dover sole.

## La Combe Pilate Esteban Brut Nature 2019, £19.85

**Country:** France

**Why I Like It:** Another one from M. Chapoutier. Bursting with freshness, this is a very surprising sparkling viognier. With an elegant bubble and notes of citrus and stone fruits, it’s fresh, without any aggressive acidity.

**Pair It With:** This makes the perfect aperitif before delicate fish dishes.
