Garden parties, picnics and beach days.  Whatever your plans over the next few months, there are few better ways to enjoy the sun than with a glass of wine. Now is the time to fine tune your drinking to the flavours of summer.

Dalrymple Pinot Noir 2019

This Pinot Noir is a blend of different parcels of fruit, from vineyards across the Pipers River region in the northern part of Tasmania. An easterly aspect, red basalt soils, natural flora and cool sea breezes combine to encourage slow and even ripening of the grapes allowing their natural flavours to shine through. It’s a great wine for any occasion, and goes well with most food styles particularly game, spicy foods and cured meats.

£32.99, www.flagshipwines.co.uk  

Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc 2020 

Fresh, crisp and bursting with an aromatic explosion of fruit. From sun-soaked South Australia’s Riverland where the beautiful River Murray runs through the imposing red landscape, the flavours and freshness of this begs to be enjoyed beneath the summer sun. Utterly delicious paired with seafood, chicken and dishes with a little spice.

Hill-Smith Estate Eden Valley Chardonnay 2019

The rugged, undulating high country of Eden Valley home to some of the Hill-Smith family’s favourite vineyards where plantings of special Burgundian clones have now come of age for this blend. Pair it with crispy skinned salmon straight from the barbecue, delicious with Asian greens or chickpea falafel.

Running with Bulls Tempranillo 2019

Running with Bulls showcases Tempranillo, one of Spain’s traditional grape varieties, and thrives in the warm Barossa Valley which mirrors the climatic conditions of the Mediterranean. Fermented with ‘wild yeast’ indigenous to the vineyards and matured in oak, this light, juicy and lively wine showcases the stylish fruit flavours and lovely Tempranillo tannins. Try it with a smoky Paella, a chorizo and roasted red pepper pizza or garlic and chilli mushrooms on puff pastry.
