RED
:: Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vigna Corvino 2013, Italy (£7.50, www.thewinesociety.com)
A wine to swoon over (especially for the price), this smooth, fruity montepulciano is a real crowd pleaser with its violet aromas and baskets of soft black cherry fruits with a veil of juicy sweetness and gentle tannins on the bright finish. A pretty expression, this would be equally delightful with roast lamb or pork.
WHITE
:: Constantia Glen Sauvignon Blanc 2014, Constantia Wine Valley, South Africa (£11.95, www.bbr.com)
A top-notch savvy blanc that bridges the gap between a punchy Kiwi which leaps from the glass and a less pungent, classic style from the Loire Valley. It has subtle grapefruit and grassy aromas with mouthwatering green melon and passion fruit flavours, classic Constantia minerality, fresh acidity and none of the nasty nettles.
SWEET
:: Adega de Pegoes Moscatel de Setubal, Portugal (£8.50, www.thewinesociety.com)
Pure nectar, this sticky toffee sweetie tastes sinfully good on its own. Serve chilled to appreciate the beautifully balanced orange blossom, marmalade, raisin and lightly spun honey notes that linger on the palate and a fine way to mark the end of Lent.
