To drink

Our wine expert, Matt Cowan, from Vinology recommends Château Hauts Vignals Corbières Blanc (£7.49)

Matt says: ‘For this summery menu you need something white, light and refreshing and fortunately the perfect wine arrived in all three stores this month! This Corbieres is a refreshing and elegant blend of Southern French white grape varieties. The bouquet is very floral with honeysuckle and orange blossom notes while the palate offers ripe tropical fruit flavours that are simply delicious. The only problem with this wine is, it’s so good, it forces you to pour another glass!’
