Georgina Haughton, head of wine buying at Sainsbury’s, shares her favourite bottle for Easter lunch

‘Easter lunch calls for a hearty bottle of rioja, and I recommend giving Cune Rioja Crianza a try this year. The spiced bramble fruit flavours and silky smooth finish match lamb flavours perfectly. CVNE is one of the oldest and most awarded rioja producers, and it’s a brand that’s becoming more and more popular in the UK, for very good reason. This Crianza has been aged in a barrel for one year and showcases a really modern style of rioja winemaking. It’s bright, fresh and vibrant, while having beautifully balanced spicy oak flavours. If you aren’t having lamb on Easter day, then it would go equally well with cured meats.’
