What's not to love here? A classic style of white wine, in a handy half-bottle – perfect for weeknight drinking. Alsace heavyweight Hugel's Classic expression of Pinot Gris is rich and soft, with juicy, firm peach and apricot notes and a touch of ginger spice. A perfect autumn/winter white, the nose is fairly subtle, but it ramps up on the palate, enveloping in the mouth with flavour. Would be a lovely match for richer fish dishes.(AW)

A perfumed white, this entices with sweet blossoms and candied citrus underscored by savory wet flint and smoked thyme. Though veering into off-dry territory, this is balanced and fresh, with pronounced marzipan and blanched almond notes. Drink now.
