Laurenz V Silver Bullet Grüner Veltliner Kamptal Reserve 2012, Austria (~£14.50 per 50cl contact Bibendum)
Quite a full, rich style but still fresh, has the classic lentil and white pepper overtones on top of peachy flesh, with a salty briny bite to clean up the finish. S

Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Marlborough, New Zealand (£16.99 **list of stockists at the end of the post)
This shows some of the typical Sauvignon characters – gooseberry, blackcurrant leaf, a light catty citrus edge – but it’s less about the herbaceous and fruity, and more about crispness, finesse and almost earthy mineral restraint. Sauvignon for Chablis drinkers. S(+)

Errázuriz Aconcagua Costa Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Chile (£12.49 Waitrose, Wimbledon Wine Cellars, Wine Reserve)
Dumb to start with, but then opens up to show a combination of quite bold guava and rhubarb flavours and tauter citrus & green apple here. Good salty, stony mineral notes, nice wine. S(-)
