- 

Raventós i Blanc, Conca del Riu Anoia Blanc de Blancs, Penedès, Catalonia £25.99 Hay Wines, Hedonism, Hic, WineTrust

Why? Produced from Macabeu, Xarel-lo, Parellada and, since 2023, Malvasia de Sitges. Crunchy fruit, a flinty lining and delicious texture make this an elegant yet no-nonsense fizz – very much like its winemaker Pepe Raventos.

When? I love opening this on a Saturday afternoon while cooking. It then transitions easily into the first course of a fish dinner.

With whom? With my partner, while preparing a meal together.

Paired with? All things seafood, soft cheeses, freshly baked bread dripping with olive oil. Oysters are a must. Ines Salpico

Altos de Torona, Albariño, Rías Baixas, Galicia £15-£19 Highbury Vintners, The Vineyard Belfast, Waitrose

Why? With its fresh citrus, floral notes and a gentle toastiness, this value Albariño feels both effortless and quietly complex.

When? Friday evening ritual after the school run with a fellow mum, the perfect way to ease into the weekend.

With whom? Best shared with friends who appreciate a glass that feels special but not too serious. For me, it's really a wine I would happily open with anyone who loves good conversation and a relaxed moment.

Paired with? It works so well with simple things: crisps or hummus and guacamole dips are a perfect match. Shivani Tomar

Baron Amarillo, Specially Selected Godello, Bierzo £9.99 Aldi
