This keenly priced and widely available Douro white has long been a firm favourite with UK wine lovers, and it's easy to see why. An unoaked blend of no fewer than seven indigenous white grapes grown at high altitude to preserve freshness, it has a great sense of place and real food-friendliness too. Intensely flavoured, with crisp, lime citrus and tropical fruit, and a refreshing seam of acidity running through. Great everyday summer drinking. Mix-six price: £8.99.
