Wines of the week: <br/>2000 Bellingham Chardonnay<br/>1999 Villar Cortes Cabernet Sauvignon

The label of this youthful Cape dry white looks surprisingly like Lindemans Bin 65 (and the price is the same), but I prefer the Bellingham for its assertively toasted oak aromas

White: 2000 Bellingham Chardonnay, £5.99, Somerfield

The label of this youthful Cape dry white looks surprisingly like Lindemans Bin 65 (and the price is the same), but I prefer the Bellingham for its assertively toasted oak aromas and distinctly rich, buttery, burgundian-style fruitiness shot through with a streak of refreshingly crisp, limey acidity to suit roast cod or hake with mash. Sainsbury's sells the 1999 for the same price.

Red: 1999 Villar Cortes Cabernet Sauvignon, £8.99, Marks & Spencer

From high Andean vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina's most important wine province, this is a classy, aromatic cabernet sauvignon from Jorge Rodriguez with shoulder-padded, opulent cassis flavours and silky tannins tangoing to grace roast lamb with garlic and a sprig of rosemary.
