Off the shelf

Here is this week's top pick of good value bottles to savour

Cao Verdejo 2009 Rueda, Spain, Morrisons, down from 6.49 to 4.99 until tomorrow. Only one day left on this offer, but it is well worth grabbing a bottle of this crisp, lively, pineapple-charged wine. A perfect aperitif.

Paul Mas Vermentino 2009, France, Majestic, down from 7.99 to 5.99 on multibuy. A delicious wine with light, nutty and herb-tinged aromatic fruit, with crisp, racy acidity and a structure suited to fish, cold meats and creamy pasta.

Tesco Finest Old Vines Garnacha 2009, Spain, down from 6.99 to two for 10 starting Monday November 8 until November 30.Mentioned recently, but now I have visited the winery I am even more impressed by this wine. It has deep bramble fruit with a long juicy finish.

Kanonkop Kadette 2009 South Africa, Sainsbury down from 10.99 to 8.24 until December 14. A substantial slug of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot in this blend rounds out and softens the Pinotage giving positive chunky plummy fruit with an elegant style. A wine for winter evenings.
