Torres Viña Sol 2011, Catalunya (£5.98-£7.19 Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose, Co-op, Sainsbury’s, Majestic)
Perfect sunny day wine, all green pithiness – grass, nettles, lime, apple – but with enough body and bounce to fill out the zestiness. B+

Young, fresh and vaguely citrussy, but just too simple to make anything of an impact. 0

Good mix of rich, heady peaches-and-cream fruit with more precise pear, melon and apricot flavours, touches of jasmine and wet clay to add further interest, and a fresh finish. S-
