Curated wine highlights at Tesco: Explore new additions for autumn

Made by the Sieur d'Arques cooperative, this has pretty blossom and bruised apple aromas, with honey and buttered toast too. Fresh blossoms on the palate, with a squeeze of citrus. A well-priced intro to the traditional Blanquette sparkling from this region, made mostly from the Mauzac grape variety with a dash of Chenin Blanc; and makes for a fabulous aperitif and talking point.

Made by the Caves Ackerman cooperative, this has subtle aromas of green apple with a hint of leesy cream. The palate is tasty, if fairly simple and short, with a sweet brioche and lemon bonbon finish.

A great success for the Tesco Finest Albariño once again, a white I instantly gravitate towards for its concentrated aromas and flavours, its inherent freshness and its fun and vibrant persona. Here it smells like candied lemon rind and warm sand, while the palate is weighty and has this oily texture, finishing super fresh. Orange rind and apple blossom flavours linger on the finish, really delightful.

Youthful and green-fruited on the nose, like apple sherbet, freshly sliced kiwi and the tang of gooseberry. Of the white Burgundy available at Tesco, I'd plump for this one; although a few pounds more expensive, it just has that vibrancy and zing. Good concentration, good ripeness of yellow plum fruit, and a really nice zesty green apple tang finish.

New to the Tesco range, this dry white wine from Georgia is a nice introduction to the native grape Rkatsiteli. The aromas are subtle, emerging into blossom and lime, while the palate is delicate and fresh. It's simple and refreshing, and plays a lot with texture, leaving a lingering soft feeling in the mouth.

A white that makes me think of sunshine, with its sun-ripened peach aromas and wafts of heady jasmine. The palate is wide and full-bodied, almost oily in texture. While it doesn't have heaps of freshness, it certainly has flavour. A simple but full-bodied white that has a place next to Mediterranean cuisine – try stuffed red peppers, or deep-fried artichoke with garlic dip.

Pretty orange florals on the nose, while the palate leans into the fleshy peach and a rounded feel. Simple, but soft and mellow, with no hard edges. A ripe and rounded version of Sauvignon Blanc.

Fragrant and floral aromas of ripe peach and jasmine, and the palate attacks with a light spritz and a squeeze of lemon. Simple, and not particularly varietally expressive, but fresh and zesty nonetheless.

Ripe and sweet-fruited aromas of nectarine and pineapple, followed by a full-bodied palate that's both weighty and fresh. Some mango and orange rind linger on the finish.

Golden yellow and bursting with tantalising exotic fruit, mango, honey, candied peel. It's hugely rich and thick and viscous. The flavour is wonderful, the finish is just a little cloying. Not much freshness.

Thick and brown, with aromas of grilled nuts, caramel, dried figs, spiced rum, raisins and coffee bean. The palate shows the same, but much more coffee bean here. And liquorice. Very thick and soupy, rich and sweet.
