We have two wines from O’Briens this week: a light and refreshing white wine that would be perfect with lighter food and warmer spring days, and a big powerful red for those cold wintry evenings.

Whitehaven Marlborough Moxie Sauvignon Blanc, 2024

13%, €19.99 down to €12.99

Lightly aromatic and elegant, with concentrated ripe peaches and zesty lime. Enjoy this before dinner, or with grilled white fish, goat’s cheese salads, or asparagus.

Rhonea Côtes du Rhône Légende des Toques 2024

14.5%, €17.99 down to €13.99

Deep in colour, with powerful concentrated dark fruits and some tannins kicking in on the finish. Try it with roast red meats or a substantial casserole.
