Knightor Madeleine Angevine 2011, Cornwall, England (£12.50- £13.99 Ellis Wharton Wines, Wadebridge Wines, Knightor Vineyard, Wine in Cornwall)

Esk Valley Riesling 2011, Marlborough, New Zealand (£11.49 Cambridge Wine Merchants, Wimbledon Wine Cellars, www.winedirect.co.uk, Sunninghill Wines, Flagship Wines, Amps)
