Brightwater Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Brightwater Sauvignon Blanc 2007 - £10.79
Price on from Laithwaites.
''Don't bother searching for Cloudy Bay and save money with this terrific wine'' The Independent Brightwater Sauvignon 2007 is from New Zealand's Nelson region ... a short ride over the mountains from Marlborough. Small production and so strict allocation - especially for this highly regarded vintage, which was awarded 5* by Cuisine magazine and also 5* by respected NZ wine writer Michael Cooper - but we managed to secure some precious cases. Each vintage causes an avalanche of press acclaim. Since it burst onto the scene in 1999 it's won Golds above some of New Zealand's biggest names, has been awarded marks in the mid 90s from the great and good of the wine world and been singled out as one of the best Kiwi Sauvignons to drink with food. This year was no exception and the winery is going from strength to strength. Wonderfully intense aromas - fresh-cut grass, gooseberry, lemon - and rich, long-lasting flavours of zesty tropical fruits. Crisp, pure and lively, it makes an excellent aperitif but is fine enough to partner grilled fish (like turbot), lemon chicken or Thai food.

Don Cayetano Chardonnay
Don Cayetano Chardonnay - £40.14
Price on from Laithwaites.
With their fruit purity and naturally vibrant flavours, Chilean wines are hard to beat. And one of the country's leading small producers is the family-run Luis Felipe Edwards estate. Key to their success is that Luis Felipe and his son have planted vines high in the hills (up to 1000m above sea level) where long, warm summers and cool mountain nights produce grapes rich in flavour yet retaining a refreshing crispness. To make the most of these natural advantages, they've built a lavish, high-tech winery where winemaker, Patricia Gonzalez, created this cool-fermented unoaked Chardonnay. Golden, fresh and brimming over with attractive pineapple, citrus, melon and peach flavours. Ideal with grilled fish or delicately spicy shrimps.

Angove's Premium White Grenache
Angove's Premium White Grenache - £39.90
Price on from Laithwaites.
For five generations the fiercely independent Angove family (now headed by the founder's great-grandson John) have bucked commercial trends in favour of top-quality, personality-filled wines ... an approach that has won them over 400 international awards in the last five years alone! With plantings of over 19 different grape varieties, the wine is famed for their rare wines. Traditionally grown in the Rhone, the Grenache grape is seldom seen in Australia. Planted over 25 years ago, their vines produced wonderfully rich fruit, full of flavour. Golden with crisp lemony citrus and extra juicy peach flavours, it's the perfect partner to grilled fish and Asian cuisine.

Le Colombare
Le Colombare - £10.89
Price on from Laithwaites.
Known as 'the Chablis of Italy', Gavi is Italy's most prized white wine. Le Colombare is from Gavi di Gavi - the top-quality corner where the region's best vineyards lie. Made from 100% hand-harvested, premium quality grapes - it's the perfect bottle to open when guests pop by. Deliciously fresh and packed with abundant nectarine and lemon aromas - it's easy to see why Gavi is so highly esteemed! Superb as a glass on its own or with grilled fish.

Chateau l'Ancienne Tuilerie
Chateau l'Ancienne Tuilerie - £34.14
Price on from Laithwaites.
We stumbled upon this cellar in the early 90s whilst looking for red wines. What we discovered was a cache of great white wines that had been quietly winning medals of a number of years. Winemaker Michel Mouret admits, with some pride, that he works 7 days a week - his family home is attached to the winery and we're sure that at night if he put an ear to the wall he could hear the tanks fermenting. This fresh, zesty Sauvignon is very food-friendly - delicious served with goat's cheese salad, asparagus or grilled fish.

Blanc Neuf La Bastide
Blanc Neuf La Bastide - £79.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
Proudly showing its 'Best-in-Class' accolade, this brand new, golden white has real Grand Cru pedigree. It's made by Olivier Bayle (ex Lafite Rothschild!) and is so much like white Chateauneuf-du-Pape that our staff call it 'Baby Beaucastel Blanc' (a nod to the region's top estate). Olivier's big, rich reds have always been a huge hit - which is why he was delighted to take up our challenge to make a white every bit as serious. And what a triumph! A classic Rhone blend - Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne - barrel-fermented to add toasty richness to the crisp peach and apricot. ''This is beautifully balanced and creamily textured wine with an alluring, peachy nose and succulent honeysuckle and pear palate. A grand wine designed for fish main courses or roast pork, it is a real treat.'' Matthew Jukes

Tor di Monte Grechetto
Tor di Monte Grechetto - £57.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
One of Italy's great originals, cultivated since Roman times, Grechetto is a key component of the best known Umbrian white, Orvieto, and displays a wonderfully concentrated, refreshing elegance. Our specialist Italian Buyer was greatly impressed by this particular wine from the 11th century Tordimonte estate because it offers the same full-flavoured, fresh and nutty character of Orvieto minus the hefty price this famous name carries. Light golden colour, with subtle toasted almond, zesty lemon and floral aromas. Fresh, dry and ripe, it's perfectly suited to local specialities such as Prosciutto di Norcia (a quality cured ham) or freshwater fish and garden-fresh salads.

Dassen View Chenin Blanc
Dassen View Chenin Blanc - £30.14
Price on from Laithwaites.
As a child, Jacques Erasmus dreamt of being a world-class winemaker. Starting with his first Chenin Blanc at the age of 12, he's been pursuing his dream ever since. Now he's turned his award-winning skills to Dassen View - named after an island close to the coastal vineyards. This 100% Chenin is fermented at low temperature to capture all the crisp fruit flavours. Pale lemon gold in colour with lively aromas of green apple and lemon. Appley-fresh flavours and citrus notes make this a great aperitif, or serve with prawn salad, a vegetable stir-fry or grilled white fish with chilli salsa.

Gran Tarapaca Casablanca Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Gran Tarapaca Casablanca Estate Sauvignon Blanc - £24.87
Price on from Laithwaites.
Casablanca has been hailed as a source of Chile's ''most exciting whites'' by Tim Atkin MW, so it's little wonder that Tarapaca are seriously proud of their dazzling Sauvignon from this exciting region. The secret to the success of white wines here are the cool breezes that drift in from the Pacific Ocean, helping to lengthen the ripening season and give wonderfully concentrated fruit flavours. Winemakers Ed Flaherty and Cristian Molina - who has several Parker-rated wines to his name - selected only the very best Sauvignon grapes (less than 0.6% of their total harvest!) to go into Gran Tarapaca, and treated a fraction of the wine to 4 months in French oak barrels to add a hint of vanilla richness. This attention to detail, combined with one of the best vintages Chile has ever seen, makes for a truly stunning wine! Intense aromas of kiwi and passion fruit merge seamlessly with savoury asparagus flavours and hints of minerality. An outstanding aperitif, it will also make a delicious partner to traditional Chilean ceviche (raw fish 'cooked' with lemon juice, onions and red peppers), sushi or a crisp green salad with grilled goat's cheese.

Chateau du Coing de Saint Fiacre
Chateau du Coing de Saint Fiacre - £44.34
Price on from Laithwaites.
Chateau du Coing Muscadet is made by the dynamic Chereau family from a treasured plot of 80-year-old vines. Their stunning 18th century estate nestles in the confluence of the Sevre and Maine rivers with a unique terroir renowned as the region's 'Grand Cru'. Far from resting on their laurels, the family have worked tirelessly at further increasing the quality of their fruit - and their old vines respond magnificently by boosting flavour intensity to superb levels. Quality emphatically confirmed by three Golds and a top rating from wine bible Guide Hachette. Attractive peach, apple and pear aromas with hints of butter and quince. Crisp and intense in the mouth with subtle mineral notes and great length. Beautifully balanced and fresh, serve chilled as an aperitif - or as an accompaniment to juicy prawns or grilled fish.
