Quench your thirst with a fresh line-up of value whites, rosés, a new (and tasty) orange wine, and even light reds suitable for a light chill — the Decanter team has selected its highlights from the UK supermarket chain Co-op, which boasts 2,400 local, convenience and medium-sized stores across the country, welcoming on average 2.2 million shoppers every day.
One of our top choices from Co-op’s spring and summer portfolio is the new Orange Grove – a gorgeous blend of (mostly) aromatic white varieties with just a touch of skin contact, offering fragrance and yellow fruit complexity without overwhelming tannins or grip.
There is also a solid supply of rosés from southern France here — choose from the reliable Provence produce such as Studio Rosé of Miraval and Nude Pink from Mirabeau.
The purple-hued Al Fresco, crafted with 100% Grenache from Navarra, is an easy crowd-pleaser for any outdoor affairs, with pretty red berries that shine after just a bit of chilling.
For more sophisticated yet elegant summer reds, Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard‘s Chorey-Lès-Beaune Pinot and Alliance Loire‘s Réserve des Vignerons Saumur won’t disappoint.
From the supermarket chain’s ‘Irresistible’ range, the Leyda Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from Casablanca Valley – both priced under £10 – deliver excellent varietal charm at a bargain.
