A Picnic - with CVNE Barrel Fermented Blanco

Another sunny day, another picnic by the river.

With a free day and the kids to entertain, we headed off to Grantchester Meadows for a picnic.

I packed some fizzy squash and a bottle of white Rioja from CVNE to accompany our food.

Cune Barrel Fermented Blanco 2015 (£9.80, Waitrose, Wine Rack, Tanners) Ripe, fresh orchard fruit and galia melon; pure with long saline minerality. Elegant, substantial and deft.

Sealed with a screwcap, it is a perfect picnic wine. Also match with roast chicken or pork.
