    RED WINE of the week

    Alentejano, Azamor Red, Azamor 2005 Typically perfumed Portuguese wine with plenty of personality, and aromas of red cherry, strawberry and liquorice. It slides across the palate with a pleasing freshness, more red fruit flavours plus some supporting savoury tannins. Drink 2008. £7.99 Connolly's, B'gham (0121 2369269), Eton Vintners (01603 484942), Halifax Wine (01422 256333), Hedley Wright, Herts (01279 465818), Liberty, L'don SW8 (020 77205350), Philglas & Swiggot, L'don SW11 (020 79244494), Wimbledon Cellars, SW19 (020 8540 9979)

    WHITE WINE of the week

    Yalumba, Viognier, Eden Valley, South Australia 2007 A supremely polished wine that's quaffable enough on its own, although the structure showcases its food-matching potential. Notes of subtly honeyed apricots are evident on both nose and palate, and cool drips of minerality also run through the wine. Drink 2008-10. £9.99 Waitrose supermarkets (0800 188 884)

    PLUS Sicilian Reds

    PLUS Tuscan IGTs 2004
