  Pelegrim Sparkling Wine, Kent England

  £24.95 £19.95 More info & buy There is a little toasty note on the nose and a faint whiff of brioche, but this is more about the creamy peach, citrus fruits and red apple. The palate is almost off-dry, but not quite, however the creamy mouth feel lends the impression of richness and approachability. The maturation period of 22 months lends a toasty character that wraps around a generous core of stone fruit and mineral notes. Pelegrim is very easy to fall in love with; it's well made, interesting, and English. What more could you want?

  Apaltagua Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Maipo Chile

  £23.95 £19.95 More info & buy Maturation occurs in 100% new French oak for 18 months which contributes to a wonderful nose of cherry, vanilla, toasted spices, dark chocolate and tobacco. The palate is beautifully built combining intensity, structure and rich fruit. After aeration this vintages drinks well, but there's sufficient quality to govern a decade of further cellaring.  Astute winemaking is evident, as ripeness and purity of fruit gives way to a dusty almost old world finish.
