Vibrant and bright with juicy peaches and almonds, balanced nicely by lemon zest acidity, finishing dry.

A great all-purpose wine to sip before dinner, or with a wide variety of lighter seafood dishes or salads. Perfect lunchtime wine.

An organic wine produced from Catarratto, one of Sicily’s indigenous grape varieties. In fact, it is the most popular variety, making up 30% of all plantings, and was used primarily in Marsala production. Wines made from low-yielding vines in good soils can be very tasty, although there is still a lot of very average wines on sale. This is one of the good guys.

€12.95 from Baggot St. Wines; Clontarf Wines; 64 Wine, Glasthule; Redmonds, Ranelagh; Blackrock Cellar; Green Man Wines, Terenure; MacGuinness Wines, Dundalk; Bradley’s Off Licence, Cork; Le Caveau, Kilkenny.
