If you are looking for something new to try, here are three refreshing white wines from around the world: a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, a German Riesling and an Italian Soave.
Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2019
If you are looking for a refreshing fruity Sauvignon Blanc to accompany your seafood dish or pad Thai, then this Oyster Bay wine from Marlborough, New Zealand is just the ticket. It’s a zesty, refreshing wine offering grapefruit, apple and pear on the nose with additional tropical flavours of passion fruit and lychee on the palate. A well-balanced dry wine with a good finish, this is one of my favourites. Majestic Wine £10.99 (£9.49 Mix Six)
Kendermanns Riesling Kabinett
Although it has taken a while for German wines to shed their image of inferior sweet wines of the Blue Nun variety, there are lots of good wines coming out of Germany these days for those looking to try something new. This wine, for example, is a fragrant Riesling Kabinett with lemon, peach and apple on the nose, and bright fruity flavours of citrus, apple and faintly tropical fruits on the palate. With high acidity and low alcohol, it is a well-balanced wine with a hint of sweetness and a longish finish. Fine by itself, or paired with white meats or a Thai curry. Majestic Wine £9.99 (£6.99 Mix Six)
Fattori Soave 2019
This is a dry medium-bodied wine produced from the Garganega grape and hails from the Veneto region of north-east Italy. Fragrant on the nose with herbal and floral aromas with hints of peach, and ripe fruit flavours of peach and melon on the palate with a hint of minerality. It’s a refreshing, nicely balanced wine which will pair well with a fish/seafood dish. Majestic Wine £10.99 (£8.99 Mix Six)
