Granite Earth 2016, Swartland, South Africa, 12%, Morrisons down from £8.50 to £6 until 25 September

A blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier and Roussanne giving fresh stone fruit flavours with a lift of exotic fruit.  Try it with a stir-fry.

Louis Jadot Macon-Azé 2017, Bourgogne, France, 13%, Waitrose down from £12.79 to £9.59 until 2 October

A lovely wine for autumn dinner parties.  Ripe apple and pear fruit with nutty, toasty oat complexity.

Tierra y Hombre Pinot Noir 2016, Casablanca Valley, Chile, 13.5%, Marks and Spencer, down from £7 to £6 until October 1

With ripe cherry fruit this has the weight to accompany roast lamb, but it is soft enough to go with baked fish.

Crasto Douro Red 2015, Portugal, 13.5%, Booths down from £11.25 to three bottles for the price of two until 9 October

There is a huge range of wines on this 3 for 2 offer, so mix your selection. This wine has delicious silky, spice-dusted blackberry and raspberry fruit.
