JC Martin crafts beautiful cool-climate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs that are usually twice this price, so snap this up while you can (it's even down to £11 from 28 November to 1 January). Fermented and aged in barrel (10% new) for 10 months, it boasts spiced apple and candied peel flavours, backed by a chalky mineral freshness.
