The Times Best White Wines for Summer

Château Dereszla's delicously different Dry Tokaji was picked out as 'Jane MacQuitty's favourite' in the Times best white wines for summer.

"Anyone sipping this extraordinarily rich, punchy, nutty white, heaped high with zesty, almond and glacé fruit and fiery spices, lots of caraway, complete with a 14.5 per cent wallop of alcohol, with a rich meaty pate will have a great time."
