A gem of a wine and a worthy 2024 Wine Champion. As one taster put it, ‘this tasted like the south of France. Characterful, easy to like, cracking value.` So many members turn to this happy union of zingy Gascon sauvignon blanc and fragrant peachy Languedoc viognier for summer refreshment, and it was easy to see why during our blind tastings.

This is a characterful and friendly white wine, from Austria's native grüner veltliner grape, with aromas of apricots, peppercorns and a mouthwatering citrus twist. The palate is dry and refreshing, with prickly pear and a touch of tropical fruit through to the finish. The Mantler family are based in the sleepy Lower Austrian town of Ebersbrunn, where they run their small estate. The winery is now managed by Thomas Mantler, possibly the smiliest man in Austria, and his wife Sarah, with Thomas' brother Benedict now heavily involved too. Between them they have brought their family farm into the 21st century, producing excellent-value wines, whilst maintaining the rustic charm of a small family agriculture business.

A fine and refreshing white from the rolling hills of Gascony. This is made from a blend of grape varieties that includes chenin and gros manseng, with touches of tropical fruit and a flash of citrus.

A clever blend of garganega, trebbiano, cortese and tocai friulano, Custoza is a DOC just south of Lake Garda to the west of Verona. These aromatic, elegant local grapes combine to create a pear, apple and lemon scented fresh, crisp white.

Textbook southern French viognier from the hot 2023 vintage. Exotic, peachy and rich and full bodied. Perfect with a starter of jambon cru and Charentais melon.

Marc Thibault's Loire sauvignon blanc has great purity, with the classic touch of flintiness and mineral finish typical of its smart Central Vineyards neighbours.
