Those who prefer their white Bordeaux to be Sémillon rather than Sauvignon Blanc-dominant will enjoy this 100% Sémillon wine from the Graves appellation. A single-vineyard wine that has spent eight months in oak, it displays subtly smoky, clean lemon peel purity and a good length. The name 'calhavera' means a small pile of pebbles and stones, and is a reference to the famous gravelly soils of the Graves. Mix-six price: £12.99
