Some lovely wines, as usual, at The Wine Society press tasting yesterday. Here’s my first six-pack of good buys. Lots to like in the £10-15 range, which is handy.

Domaine Sylvain Pataille Bourgogne Aligoté 2016 Burgundy, France
£12.50 The Wine Society
13% alcohol
Fermented in 500 litre barrels. Fine and lemony with lovely pear fruit richness and a subtle nuttiness. Stylish and complex with a hint of baked apple, and lemony focus. 92/100

Deltetto Langhe Favorita Servaj 2017 Piedmont, Italy
£12.50 The Wine Society
13% alcohol
Favorito is the local name for the Vermentino grape variety, and Servaj translates as wild. Delicate and pure with nice fruit. Expressive tangerine and pear notes, with real focus and delicacy. 90/100

Von Kesselstatt Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett 2016 Mosel, Germany

This is from the steep Herrenberg vineyard in the Saar, and it’s a bargain. Off-dry and juicy with grapefruit, apricot and pear fruit. Very fruity and linear. 91/100
