Our wine expert reveals the best Spanish whites, from £9.99

Daily Mail​17-05-2025
Hailing from coastal towns and inland hills, Spanish whites rely on a range of native varieties so there's something to suit every occasion, mood and fussy dinner guest! For fresh, zingy styles, Albariño is the go-to. After a little more texture? There's oaked white Rioja and Godello (Spain 's answer to Chardonnay). Got a little more to spend? I love premium barrel-aged white Riojas: rich, complex and perfect for Burgundy lovers.
How good to see Aldi stocking this fab Spanish gem. It's pure, textured and layered, with peachy citrus appeal – a steal guaranteed to impress even your fanciest friend.
This was my first taste of the rare Albilla grape, here grown inland at altitude. It has a floral bouquet, red apple and lemon. Try with herby salads.
Viña Pomal Barrel Fermented Rioja blanco 2023 (13%)
£10.50 Shop
Here's one for red wine drinkers who 'don't do white': unctuous stone fruit, sweet spice from oak and a mouth-filling creamy texture.
This textbook Albariño ticks all the boxes – it's zesty, vibrant, refreshing and so moreish; a sea-like charmer to pair with salty snacks and/ or seafood, simply cooked.

Love Island winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan share a glimpse of their pre-wedding preparations just hours before they're set to marry - two years after meeting in the villa

Love Island winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan have shared a glimpse of their pre-wedding preparations as they get geared up to marry on Friday. The couple, both 27, announced their engagement in April 2024, a year after meeting and falling in love in the Mallorca villa. And taking to their respective Instagram accounts on Thursday, the pair got themselves spruced up for their big day, with Kai seen getting a fresh trim for the occasion. The P.E teacher shared snaps of himself in a barber's chair as his pal gave him a hair cut, writing in his caption: 'Trim completed. Now time to log off for a few days, enjoy life, be present and marry the love of my life.' Meanwhile, social worker Sanam showed off her gorgeous wedding nails on her stories, with her fingernails adorned with pearl and sequin embellishments. The beauty simply wrote alongside her snap: 'Tomorrow', alongside emojis of a bride and groom. Taking to their respective Instagram accounts on Thursday, the pair got themselves spruced up for their big day, with Kai seen getting a fresh trim for the occasion Last week, both the bride and groom to-be shared snaps of their hen and stag dos as they let their hair down with pals ahead of tying the knot. Sanam jetted off to Ibiza with her pals and mum, where they got into the spirit of things of things with different them days including cowgirl, denim and disco. Meanwhile, Kai and his friends had a grand time on their trip, larking around and drinking during their sporty-themed outing. Kai also paid tribute to his future wife ahead of their wedding day as he got her name tattooed on his arm. Last month, Sanam gave an insight into wedding dress shopping as she prepares to marry her fiancé. Trying on a number of dresses at Lotte Rose Bridal, in Bedford, Sanam shared some of her favourites in an Instagram update. Firstly, she tried on an off-the-shoulder lace gown before changing into an A-line dress with a corset top. She captioned the update: 'Part two of trying to find a wedding dress. 'This shop was absolutely stunninnnggg! Let me know in the comments which style/shape you think suits me best!' The couple met on the hit ITV show in March 2023 in the infamous Casa Amor, and came out as the winning couple. The two lovebirds have been going strong ever since, and in April they announced their engagement as Kai got down on one knee while boating in Cambridge. During the romantic proposal in Cambridge, Sanam was dressed in bridal white while Kai opted for a matching coloured jacket. They passionately kissed one another in another lovely photo before celebrating by popping champagne. They recently revealed why their relationship has lasted longer than other couples' relationships from the programme as they took a swipe at their co-stars. Speaking to OK! magazine, the couple explained the sacrifices they have had to make to maintain their relationship. Kai said: 'The difference between Love Island couples and ordinary couples is that there is a lot of pressure on the relationship when you leave the villa. 'What makes Sanam and I different is that you have to decide what you want more: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you're in a relationship with. 'You get invited to parties but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle. We enjoy every moment together and we do things the other person is interested in, too.' The couple are famously humble, with Sanam going straight back into social work after the show, instead of launching a career as an influencer.

Lila Moss channels her supermodel mum Kate in a bikini top and sequin waistcoat as he heads out in Ibiza

Lila Moss channeled her famous mum Kate as she headed out in Ibiza on Wednesday. The model, 22, who previously admitted to constantly copying her outfits, wore a brown triangle bikini top with a sheer sequin waistcoat. Adding to her bohemian inspired look, she wrapped a fine knit gold sarong around her waist and wore black ballet flats. Lila topped off her outfit with a pair of sunglasses, carried a large woven beach bag and styled her hair straight. Earlier this month, she enjoyed a fun girls' trip in the town with her mum, with the duo speaking about their close relationship in the past. Lila's father is Dazed Media chief executive Jefferson Hack, with whom Kate was in a relationship in the early Noughties. The model has never been shy of stealing from her mum's wardrobe. From ballet pumps and waistcoats to biker jackets and transparent slip dresses, she has recreated almost every iconic Kate Moss look there is. 'I copy her outfits consistently,' Lila admitted in a magazine interview in 2023. '[Although] I steal mostly her bags. I can't steal her shoes, which is devastating. She's a size six. I'm a size five.' Kate and Lila have spoken candidly in the past about their unconventional relationship, with Kate telling Vogue in 2023: 'There were still rules in our house – always say please and thank you; never go out with wet hair or you'll catch a cold – even if I wasn't that strict. Now that she's 21, Lila's the one setting rules for me. 'Wear SPF50; quit smoking… Although she did give me this cigarette case as a gift recently that I just love... She's flown the nest now, and got her own place in downtown New York, but she's still so young in my mind... 'I feel like I'd already lived quite a few lives by Lila's age. I'd gone abroad. I'd had one serious boyfriend – and moved on to the next. In a lot of ways, though, Lila is so much more grown-up than I was in my 20s... 'Watching her establishing her career as a model takes me right back to the '90s when I was just starting out, but I know that things will be different for her.' 'She understands she can say no, for one thing, which I never did, and she has the right people around her – I've made sure of that. And let's face it, she's a lot more sensible than I was back then. I mean… thank God. Ha!' For last year's British Fashion Awards, she commissioned designer Nensi Dojaka to create a dress that was eerily reminiscent of her mother's infamous bias-cut Liza Bruce slip dress from 1993. While at New York Fashion Week, she stepped out in a near-identical Saint Laurent blazer and low-cut silk top Kate had worn two years before. Lila has been making moves in the fashion world and walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week for for Vivienne Westwood last year. It was a successful year for Lila after she fronted campaigns for the likes of Pepe Jeans - an international denim brand based on Portobello Road in Notting Hill - which happens to be the model's favourite hangout spot. She also starred in a campaign for the French brand Maje last year and is currently gracing the front rows of exclusive shows such as Yves Saint Laurent for Paris Fashion Week alongside her mother. After being signed to her mother's Kate Moss Agency when she was just 15, Lila became the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty in 2018. She went on to make her runway debut for the Italian fashion house Miu Miu in 2020, became an ambassador for YSL and made headlines when she walked the pink carpet for Victoria's Secret World Tour . The stunner has been hit with her fair share of nepotism accusations - the most recent being when she appeared in Edward Enninful's edition of Vogue called Legendary alongside the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Victoria Beckham. In 2021, when Lila was 19, she became the director of Grace Grove Ltd - the name of the company is a nod to The Grove, her family home in North London, which Kate sold in 2021.
