An elegant Portugese white wine, from one of Alvarinho’s top producers. This 2023 vintage is intensely floral and fruity, with notes of peach, orange blossoms and bright citrus peels. You're getting the same grape here—Alvarinho is Albariño's Portuguese cousin from just across the border—so expect that same coastal freshness and stone-fruit character. Soalheiro's 2023 delivers white peach and citrus just like Martín Códax, but with a floral lift from orange blossoms that adds elegance without losing the zesty, refreshing edge you love. This is a chance to taste how the same grape expresses itself on the Portuguese side of Rías Baixas, where Soalheiro's old vines ("Primeiras Vinhas" means first vineyards) give you more complexity and intensity. The floral notes hint at greater depth while keeping that crisp, food-friendly character that makes Albariño/Alvarinho so irresistible with seafood.

The wine offers a beautiful bouquet of orchard-fruit compote, peach, pear, and apple, accented by a hint of yellow flowers. On the palate, it is refined and elegant, with notes of white peach blossom and grapefruit zest You'll recognise the white peach, citrus zest, and mineral brightness here—Côtes du Rhône Blanc captures that same summery, Atlantic-influenced freshness through its blend of Mediterranean whites. The grapefruit zest and hint of yellow flowers echo Albariño's delicate fruit complexity while maintaining the crisp, elegant palate you're after. This Rhône blend shows you how other French regions chase similar freshness and food-friendliness, but with warmer-climate stone fruits and a softer, more floral personality. It's a smart detour that proves refreshing white wine with seafood-matching acidity isn't exclusive to Rías Baixas.

Charles and Ruth Simpson have been making wine in France for the past 17 years and it was only in 2014 that they returned to the UK to make wine on their home turf. This 2024-vintage Chardonnay is a nod to Burgundy with its golden delicious apple, buttered toast and green olive notes. The palate is crisp and zesty with lemon and grapefruit. Try this with a plate of fresh oysters. Like Albariño, this English Chardonnay prioritises crispness and citrus zest over buttery richness, with green apple and lemon giving you that same bracing acidity and mineral precision. The oyster-pairing recommendation signals the producer understands the same seafood-matching philosophy that defines Martín Códax's appeal. You're tasting British terroir made by winemakers steeped in French tradition—golden delicious apple and green olive notes add textural interest that Albariño's purity doesn't quite offer. It's worth trying to see how cooler-climate Chardonnay can rival Albariño's elegance and food versatility while bringing its own creamy, orchard-fruit character to the table.
