Sur, Carmenere, Maule, 2023
For a modestly priced wine this shows varietal typicity, that combination of blackcurrant fruit with herbal elements which marks Carmenère. The aromas show that characteristic combination of berries with currant leaf. This offers a light and fresh mouthful of blackcurrant and blueberry. Pure, uncomplicated and finishes brightly. Will stand up to spicy food well – there was a push a decade ago to recommend Carmenère as the best red grape to match with curries. Now-2026

Bajel Pirata, Monastrell, Alicante, 2023
We have been selling this for a few years and we don’t think we have given it enough credit. Wines from Monastrell(Mourvèdre) can be so attractive when the grapes enjoy the heat of Spain. A smooth, easy-drinking quaffer, red andblack-fruited, with a little substance, lightly savoury. Now-2026What Spain delivers in spades is ripe, authentic red wine at a very fair price. The Monastrell (= Mourvedre) grape is the country's lesser-known winner, making deeply coloured, ripe and...

Secondly, there are wines for every budget; at every level we believe these wines continue to offer terrific...

Carignan
Carignan is the grape which really distinguishes the red wines of the Languedoc and Roussillon from those of the southern Rhône (in the latter Grenache is ubiquitous and dominant, and Syrah and Mourvèdre are the preferred blending grapes).
It has been a much maligned grape. For example Jancis Robinson’s Oxford Companion to Wine thunders: "Carignan,...
