We are delighted to have the Coroa d’Ouro Branco feature in the Telegraph!

Victoria Moore describes this fantastic wine as - "Saline and citrussy, like the smell of the sea across a lemon grove, this is a tartly invigorating white, made with a mix of six Portuguese grapes. It tastes of greengages and nectarines – try it with nectarine, feta and rocket salad. If you order only one wine from my summer drinking list, make it this one."

Available in-store and online at £11.99. 😁

Today is International Chardonnay Day!

Chardonnay is one of the best-known white grape variety in the world and is certainly one of the most widely planted. It is the grape of white burgundy and also plays a crucial role in the champagne blend. Over the years there has been a welcomed move towards more elegant, better-balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnay wines from the new world.

Celebrate today with one of these fantastic bottles of Chardonnay. 🥂
