Spy Summer Six | Mixed Case Deal

Summer should be celebrated, or at least properly saluted with a glass full-to-the-brim of vinous deliciousness. We've picked out some suitable bottles for sunny days - including a refreshing Catalan white, a bubbly Italian pet-nat and a sophisticated Sancerre rosé. Rounded off with a natural German blend, a classic Chenin Blanc and a light but juicy Cabernet Franc, of course. These are the bottles we keep in our fridge all summer long, the suitable hot-weather wines, with the usual Spy twist. This mixed case - with 10% discount! - brings new oenological horizons into view, preferably from the comfort of a striped deck chair.

🐓 Ikigall Penedes Gallina del Piel - a white blend from the former Sommelier of one of the world's most awarded restaurants, El Bulli, in Catalonia - the home, too, of Xarel-lo, a crisp and moreish grape which lends this wine its combination of orange blossom and nuttiness

🥂 Pet-Nat Bianco Raspato Anne-Santi - the bottle to convince anyone of both pet-nats, a delicately sparkling wine, and muscat, with its ripe fruitiness. Balanced yet bold, and bound to go down well at any garden party

💗 Sancerre Rosé Domaine Vacheron - truly the fanciest of the pink stuff, showing that deeper colour means deeper flavour. Made from Pinot Noir, expect abounding red berries and blood oranges, all silky-smooth on the palate

🏔️ Max Sein Wein Blanc - terrific white, leaning towards orange, wine from an up-and-coming producer in Baden, Germany. Max Baumann, winemaker, matures his blend of local grape varieties in oak, for a rounded, juicy, natural wine

🌿 Old Vine Chenin Blanc Kloof Street - South Africa's lauded producer Mullineux have created a brilliant sunny-days drinker, full of ripe pear and lemon, and finishing with a refreshing minerality 

🍇 Saumur-Champigny Glouglou Domaine des Sables Verts - a berry-filled red you can chill, with notes of raspberry, strawberry and blackcurrant. From an organically-minded winemaking couple in the Loire valley, the "Glouglou" is the sound you make when you drink your glass up all too easily

The Spy Summer Six includes a bottle of each the wines above. It's up to the British weather to do the rest...
