English still wine is really hitting its stride at the moment. From one of England's oldest Ortega vineyards, this variety lends musky peach notes while the Chardonnay gives more acid and mineral backbone. The result is a pleasingly round wine with flavours of spiced mandarin. Try with fish tacos! In store or via Ocado.
