Top 10 wines in the UK press

2012 Aloxe Corton, Domaine du Pavillon, Albert Bichot, Burgundy, France

Anthony Rose recommended three wines writing in The Independent, including this red burgundy from Domaine du Pavillon.

“Sumptuous, moreish red Burgundy, with a veneer of smoky oak enveloping ripe, juicy cherry fruit”, he said.

Price: £34, Marks & Spencer

2014 De Marcilly Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuit, Burgundy, France

For those with a preference for white, Rose recommended this “brilliant white Burgundy with a delish toasty oak veneer” from De Marcilly.

Available at the very reasonable price of £8.99 from Lidl, Rose said it had a “fresh spine of acidity” with a “nutty and dry” finish.

Price: £8.99, Lidl

Hidalgo Manzanilla Pasada Pastrana Sherry NV, Spain

As The Telegraph launches Telegraph Wine from Waitrose – offering readers a “new way to buy wine” – Victoria Moore rounds up a selection of the club’s best offerings.

Recommending first this Manzanilla Sherry from Hidalgo, Moore said: “Manzanilla is the most delicate of sherries. Made in coastal Sanlucar de Barrameda, it is bone dry, tastes of sea spray and iodine and is very crisp. This is an aged style of Manzanilla from a single vineyard, so it’s more intense and rich, but still refreshing. I love it.”

Price: Telegraph Wine from Waitrose, £12.99

Malvira Roero Arneis 2014, Italy

“Arneis is one of the white grapes of Piemonte in north-west Italy”, explained Moore. “It makes glacial white wines, with reverberating acidity and a lemon and grapefruit pith freshness. This one glides, with a sharp little nip at the end (I mean that in a good way).”

Price: Telegraph Wine from Waitrose, £8.24 down from £10.99 until October 13

Moncaro Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi 2014, Italy

Finally Moore highlighted this Italian Verdicchio, describing, which she said was one of her favourite “everyday” buys.

“Verdicchio is a white Italian grape that makes crisp wine that clips along, breezily fresh, with green, herbaceous flavours, a touch of citrus and a textured riffle”, she said. “Verdicchio is widely planted in the coastal Marche region, where you find lots of seafood on the menu.”

Price: Telegraph Wine from Waitrose, £5.99

Taste the Difference Chilean Pinot Noir 2013, Chile

As autumn sets in David Williams, writing in The Guardian, picked a trio of “wines that work with mushrooms”.

“Whether you trust yourself and a guidebook, or, like me, tend to fall back on the expertise of others to do the foraging, identifying and picking, wild mushrooms are one of autumn’s greatest pleasures”, said Williams. “I like them best cooked simply: fried in butter with plenty of salt and pepper, maybe with a little garlic and parsley, and, if possible, with a glass of wine that shares that slippery silkiness of texture and earthy, umami-rich flavour. Pinot noir would be at the top of the list, an elegant berry-fruited burgundy touched with forest-floor, such as Domaine Taupenot-Merme Saint- Romain 2011 (£29, Harvey Nichols), a succulent New Zealander, such as Belmont Pinot Noir, Nelson 2014 (£11.99, Majestic) or the superb-value Chilean made by Errazuriz for Sainsbury’s.”

Price: £8, Sainsbury’s

Malvirà Nebbiolo delle Langhe 2012, Italy

Nebbiolo also proved a popular variety with which to enjoy mushrooms with Williams recommending this example from Malvira – the producer’s second wine to feature in this week’s round-up.

“Like Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo wines often have a sweet woodland earthiness, and, in older wines, a truffly savouriness, to go with the prettier floral and red-fruit fragrance”, said Williams. “This is best displayed in the top wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, special-occasion wines such as Roagna Barolo La Pira 2009 (£59.95, Berry Bros & Rudd), which is hauntingly beautiful now but would be even better if you managed to save it for mushroom season in a decade’s time. The more affordable, rose and dark-cherry delights of Malvira’s Nebbiolo are, however, very much ready for this year’s wild mushroom risotto.”

Price: £11.99, Waitrose

Château Castera 2009, Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France

Williams finished his forage for mushroom-friendly wine in France, recommending this Bordeaux from Château Castera.

“Combine the mushrooms with beef in a rich stew, however, and it has to be a red with a bit of backbone and the first savoury shadings that come with age: Castera’s nicely maturing claret, like wild mushrooms, is an autumnal treat.”

Price: £22, Borough Wines

2013 Montes, Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, Colchagua, Chile

This “ridiculously inexpensive” Chilean Cabernet from Montes was among Matthew Jukes’s top picks of wines currently on offer in the UK, writing in the Daily Mail.

“Made from a pinpoint accurate blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, Montes has cracked the bargain-priced red code again with this ridiculously inexpensive beauty with its mouth-watering cassis and woodsmoke nose. This price is bonkers – no other word for it. This wine is therefore unmissable.”

Price: £8.99, reduced to £5.99 until 13 October, Co-op

Marks and Spencer’s Royal Palace Colheita 2001, Portugal

Finally Olly Smith, also writing in the Daily Mail, turned his attention to Portugal, whose “diverse climate from the coast to the hills boasts a hoard of local grapes creating mellow, aromatic reds and fragrant whites that make perfect autumn sipping”.

“The country’s cavalcade of single varietal wines and imaginative blends can offer some of Europe’s finest bottles for the friendliest prices”, said Smith, before recommending this bottle of Tawny Port.

“Tawny Port is one of my favourites, and for £25 Marks and Spencer’s Royal Palace Colheita 2001 (20%) is an award-wining autumnal treat served chilled with salted almonds as an aperitif, or post dinner with a champion cheeseboard.”

Price: £25, Marks and Spencer
