1. Eagle’s Cliff Chenin Blanc 2010, South Africa £11.95
So many Chenin Blanc from South Africa can be bland and boring, doing little to inspire the wine lover. Eagle’s Cliff, on the other hand, is an exceptional example of just how good this appley, citrus driven grape can be. Enjoy! CD

5. Kono Sauvignon Blanc 2009 £17.50
Marlborough, New Zealand
When it comes to top New Zealand Sauvignon, sorting out the wheat from the chaff isn’t always easy. Just what you expect from high class NZ Sauvignon: light citrus, elderflower and hints of nettles. Refreshingly crisp and a superb companion to seafood or just great on its own. FA
6. Domaine Reynard Chablis 2008 £21.50
There are thousands of Chablis produced each year, all
with marked differences. To find a good one, you need
to look beyond the word 'Chablis' on the label and find out who makes it. Reynard is an excellent Domaine producing classic, flinty and mineral styled Chablis with a great purity of fruit. CD
