This Pecorino gem is a trifling £7.99 from Ocado and Waitrose. The label depicts three sheep that could have been drawn by a six-year-old, presumably to appeal to consumers who buy on cute labels. Ignore price, wide availability and sheep: this stonkingly good Pecorino bursts with flavour. Trust me, I am not trying to counterbalance the obscenely expensive rarities mentioned above. I genuinely love this wine. In fact, the Martin household has two or three bottles permanently stocked in the fridge for evenings when I want to quaff something decent and delicious without thinking too much. [Postscript: Mrs. Martin just informed me it is currently reduced to £5.99.] (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2018)

I really like this, light with plenty of fruit. A different white, by no means huge or particularly “complicated” but for the price lovely.

Is a bit rounded like a Chardonnay but has some nice minerality and good cantaloupe and roasted veg flavours.

Fresh mineral smell. Drank with mushroom risotto. Lemongrass, lychee, slight tropical tang, all short -lived though and a touch bland. Lost all its flavour with the rich risotto (topped with Parmesan). Clean though and easy drinking.
