Under a fiver: 2005 Doña Dominga Chardonnay Semillon

This juicy new vintage blend from Viña Casa Silva displays the delicious ripe peachy qualities of unoaked fruit from Chile's Colchagua Valley (for more on Chilean wines, see left). £4.99, Oddbins

Under a tenner: 2004 Crozes Hermitage, Yann Chave

A delightful example of the syrah grape from the northern Rhône - headily perfumed with classic pepper and tar undertones. £9.99, Majestic

Splash out: 2004 Josef Leitz Riesling Spätlese

Youthfully floral-scented and voluptuously juicy, a lipsmacker with a refreshingly tangy apple bite. £15.25-£16.99, Justerini and Brooks (020-7484 6400); Noel Young Wines, (01223 844744)
