Best buys from Naked Wines this autumn

Golden yellow in colour. Lemon and white blossom aromas are laced with pastry and a herbal lick. The first sip is a mouthful of crushed oyster shells and fresh apples, closely followed by soft brioche tones and chalky textural finesse. A mineral-driven Champagne that's good value for money.

This vintage from the team at Simpsons Wine Estate in Kent is a little more taut and tightly wound that previous iterations. 2021 was a somewhat tricky vintage in the UK, with widespread frost and wet and cold weather, although Simpsons escaped with little impact from frost. Autumn redeemed the vintage, with enough sunshine to ripen the grapes. This is aromatic, with good purity of citrus fruit. The palate is decidedly toasty, with some refined spice and hints of wet stones, finishing with flavours of soft stone fruit. Member price £25.99 / Non-member price: £34.99.

<p>This shows all the class and elegance of Alsatian Riesling, at an affordable price point. Such a lovely set of aromas right off the bat -- think concentrated lime cordial, beeswax, kerosene, acacia, jasmine, and nectarine sweetness. It feels soft and wide in the mouth, filling every inch, and then finishing elegantly with a nipped-in, acid-driven finish with a flourish of toast and slate. Delicious! Member exclusive.</p>

<p>Katie Jones brings together the two white Grenache cousins in this Vignes Cachées (‘hidden vines’) cuvée. Like a wine-Alice in Wonderland, it opens with delicate lemon rind, red apple and white blossom before tumbling through a tunnel of cinnamon spice, toast and tonka bean and out the other side into rich marzipan, bitter almond skin and jasmine. Impressive concentration on the palate, and the finish is lengthened by notes of wet stones and fennel seeds. Delightful! Member price: £16.99 / Non-member price: £18.99</p>

Custoza is a small appellation in the Veneto region dedicated to the production of white wines. Grape varieties Garganega, Cortese and Trebbiano take the stage here in a wonderfully intense and serious wine, luxurious even. Sophisticated aromas of smoky struck match, preserved lemon, orange rind and dried apricot seep seamlessly onto a concentrated palate, showing great depth of flavour. The finish is long and leaves you salivating. There's a Burgundian elegance and refinement that leaves a strong impression. Bravo. Member price: £25.99. Non-member price: £32.99.

Golden-yellow in the glass and opening onto ripe pineapple and white peach, underpinned by notes of toast and vanilla. The palate sweeps silkily through, leaving lingering flavours of honeysuckle, acacia and jasmine in its wake. It’s a rich and complex wine, oily and full-bodied, and the oak is certainly present and quite flashy, but there's restraint in the mineral acidity and zesty lemon finish. The top end of the Ramón do Casar range, this is Treixadura fermented in French oak. A sophisticated, classy glass of wine that would excel with food, especially sole in lemon butter with fresh peas.

<p>An intense set of aromas explode from the glass, bold and bassy, full of pineapple, lemon zest, honey and honeysuckle, set within a backdrop of smoky, flinty intrigue. It's ripe and opulent, with lots of flavour and lots of power, but it's structurally very fine, with a long, buttery, silky finish. From one of the 22 vineyards promoted to premier cru in 2020. Member price: £38.99. Non-member price: £42.99. Available from mid-October.</p>

<p>A highly talented winemaker, plus South Africa's cool Elgin wine region, plus a superb vintage for Chardonnay - this equation can only result in a delicious, top quality wine. Lovely toasty, spicy, vanilla and struck match aromas, denoting elegance and complexity. Tangy and spicy in the mouth, the fruit is ripe and rich and the texture is round, fleshy and supple. An accomplished wine. Member price: £19.99 / Non-member price: £32.99.</p>

There's a real mineral, flinty edge to this wine which outlines a core of citrus complexity. Concentrated lime zest and sweet candied lemon peel provide great refreshment and varietal character. A wine that's jazzy and defined. Member price: £24.99. Non-member price: £25.99.

Picpoul de Pinet in a slightly different guise - and a different bottle shape too! Here we have a ripe, creamy expression of the style, thanks to the time spent sur lie (on the lees). Plush pineapple, lemon, peach and apricot swirl together with a dollop of creamy yoghurt. The palate is viscous and ripe, and is then swept away with spicy acidity. Complex, with good depth of flavour. Member price: £16.99. Non-member price: £18.99.

Super aromatic - this is a sunshine fruit bomb popsicle! Heaps of mango, passion fruit and papaya fill the mouth. It's full bodied, rich and pretty delicious actually. There's good succulent acidity on the finish. Shows its southern Italian side through its ripe, intensely fruity expression. Member price: £11.99. Non-member price: £19.99.

There's an almost minty freshness to this wine, with lime and lemon flavours turned up to the max. It's so fresh and salty, such a moreish and succulent mouthful leaving a light grip on the tongue. Tasty and a great price for a mid-week aperitif. Member price: £13.99. Non-member price: £14.99.

<p>Wine has been made in Georgia for many thousands of years, but you may not necessarily have tried any Georgian wine. Here is a good place to start, as this is one of the more approachable styles. Its subtle lemon and verbena aromas are delicate, while the palate shows pear and apple skin. It has a textural mouthfeel that leaves a chalky, tingling sensation and finishes with a touch of bitter lemon rind. Made from three indigenous Georgian grape varieties - Tsitska, Tsolikouri and Krakhuna - this is a good entry point into Georgian wines. Member exclusive at £16.99.</p>

<p>Upfront aromas of ripe fleshy peach, apricot kernel, marzipan, preserved lemon and some tropical pineapple too. Rounded and oily in the mouth, with lovely bitter lemon pith, orange rind, orange blossom and almond. It's creamy, but still subtle, elegant. A really tasty wine that's ripe and easy to drink, succulent, lip smacking, challky, mouthwatering. Member price: £15.99 / Non-member price: £18.99.</p>

Quite a lean, green-fruited style that offers good freshness through notes of gooseberry and elderflower. The palate is sappy and taut, a well-structured white that would pair well with subtly flavoured chicken dishes. Member price: £17.99. Non-member price: £19.99.

Fragrant with ripe pineapple and passion fruit characters, this is showcasing an opulent side of Chenin Blanc, blended with some Colombard. Some freshly cut grass notes underpin the exotic fruit. Member price: £10.99. Non-member price: £11.99.

Aromatic white wine fans assemble; this fragrant Chilean treat is made from the Pedro Jimenez (also spelled Pedro Ximenez) variety, most frequently found in sweet fortified form in southern Spain. This, however, is crisp and dry, despite its flowery, tropical aromas and flavours. Think apple blossom, soft stone fruit, papaya and passionfruit . There's a grassy, elderflower scent too. If you're a Sauvignon Blanc fan, this is a great alternative. Member price: £9.99. Non-member price: £11.99.

A fresh and fruit-forward expression of the ancient Terret Bourret grape variety, showing lovely crunchy green apple and yellow plum characters. The flavours are concentrated and the mouthfeel is silky, even a little creamy, but there's still a fresh tangy bite to the finish. Drinkable, easy-going and a nice window onto a local grape variety.
