Nós Somos Douro 2024 is a Portuguese red that typically shows the region’s signature mix of ripe dark fruit, spice, and a firm, structured feel, with the Douro’s schist soils and warm, dry climate often giving the wine depth, concentration, and a savoury edge. In the glass, expect something that feels bold b.ut balanced, with blackberry or plum-like fruit, a touch of violet or herbs, and enough tannin to make it a good match for grilled meats, roast lamb, or rich Mediterranean dishes

Found Balearic Island Red 2023 is a Mallorca-based red made from native Callet and Manto Negro with Cabernet Sauvignon, so it has the Balearics’ warmer Mediterranean style rather than a heavy, high-oak profile. Expect juicy dark fruit, a savoury herbal streak, soft spice, and a smooth medium-bodied finish, with enough freshness to keep it easy to drink on its own or with grilled lamb, sausages, or roast vegetables.

Tesco Finest Picpoul de Pinet 2024 is a bone-dry, refreshing white from the Languedoc-Roussillon on France’s Mediterranean coast, made from 100% Picpoul and noted for its bright, lemony, zesty character with green-apple juiciness and a long mineral finish. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity, citrus and lime flavours, and a clean, slightly textured palate, making it a classic Southern French seafood white that pairs beautifully with oysters, mussels, grilled fish, shellfish or light salads. The wine is produced sustainably by a co-operative andhas 13% alcohol.
