These go with 'Aperitif'

A pure fruit driven nose, perfumed with cut limes and a hint of spirit. The wine has a perfumed honeyed palate and is intensely fruity with white peach flavours and mineral complexity. Grapes are sourced from selected prime vineyards and harvesting is by hand or machine, depending on the site. Winemaking is ‘traditional’ and overseen by Jean Michel Lihrmann – pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no finings and light filtration before bottling – all to preserve fruit and aromatic qualities and elegance. His philosophy is to make wines with good acidity and fruit balance.

Gorgeous Prosecco. Not sweet but not too dry, just right. The cork has Vera Wang's name on the top and the wire holding it in place has her initials on the small tab for opening it. I bought two bottles and enjoyed the quality of the Prosecco so much that I have bought another two bottles since. Lovely as a gift if you could bear to part with it.

Fashion designer Vera Wang turns her hand to winemaking, creating the Party prosecco rosé. Contained within a gleaming silver-tone bottle, this effervescent tipple is the perfect way to add some fizz to celebrations – whether the occasion is big or small, break out the glass flutes, pop the cork and let the bubbles flow. This light, crisp wine is comprised of glera and pinot noir grapes harvested from Italy’s north-eastern Veneto region and offers a lively palate of ripe strawberry and raspberry.

From a family-owned winery, blended from numerous sites within Marlborough, including the Awatere and Wairau Valleys. Crisp, bright and zippy.

Porte Noire was born out of a shared passion for wine between award-winning actor Idris Elba and wine expert David Farber. They started the project after visiting the Sanger Viticultural School in Champagne in 2018, which now make their Champagnes. The Petite Porte is a Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs showing notes of brioche, baked apple and pear with a hint of toasted almond and yellow plum.

“A fine, elegant crémant that gives many cheaper champagnes a run for their money. Expect tangy lime sherbet, pears and apples with a light hint of biscuit and plenty of lively but soft bubbles.”

Louis de Grenelle Cremant de Loire is a lovely sparkling Rose wine. It is aged in the cellars of the Louis de Grenelle estate for 24 Months and made in the traditional method. The grapes are manually harvested. The grape variety is Cabernet Franc Lovely dry soft berry fruit flavours with a generous tingly finish. A lovely wine for all occasions and perfect for special celebrations.

KEFALONIA.....A bone-dry and intriguing wine with a heady mix of iodine, peaty aromas, exotic fresh fruit, melon and dried pear. Mouth-wateringly fresh on the palate with plenty of tension on the long finish. Vinified following a philosophy of minimal intervention. A cool pre-fermentation maceration lasted for eight to 10 hours to extract aromas and flavours. The free run musts and pressed musts were fermented separately with wild yeasts at controlled temperatures before spending one month on the fine lees with periodical stirring to impart texture and complexity. The wine was gently filtered prior to being bottled. The bottle was then submerged UNDER FRESH WATER, in special tanks in the winery. This new method of maturation promotes constant temperatures, darkness and lack of oxygen, resulting in an aromatic wine, with a pure fruit character. 91 points Robert Parker

A white wine of Traditional Appellation, produced from Roditis and Savatiano grape varieties. A wine of yellow golden colour, typical rich aroma of Halkidiki pines, soft taste and a spicy aftertaste. Excellent with Mediterranean starters and main courses.

Rich, warm red fruits on the nose with hints of dried herbs, this is a wine with a great sense of place and is one of the few reds that pairs brilliantly with cheese. Ageing in French oak barrels (20%) for 12 months adds spice and structure and the wine finishes with a fresh cherry note and light tannins, making you want another sip. "Vines planted in 1998 in the north-facing Kali Vrysi vineyard at 4,000 vines per ha and an elevation of 200–300 m. Picked 24 September at a yield of 36 hl/ha. Fermented in tank with malolactic conversion and ageing for 12 months in oak barrels (20% new).

Several important critics have rated this Drama wine highly. Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "White-peach and lemon aromas invigorate the nose of this straw-colored, nearly translucent wine. It's light bodied, with bright tropical-fruit and citrus flavors on the palate, followed by the pleasant bitterness of lemon pith on the lengthy finish." - 90/100, Wine Enthusiast
