Tis the season for big, bold, fireside reds! If you love bold, dark fruited, warming reds then this trio is the perfect choice for the chilly, dark nights of December. The perfect trio to enjoy with friends during the festive season ahead.
The line up:
Vina Cobos 'Felino' Malbec, Mendoza: A very sophisticated Malbec. Deep inky purple in colour with bright aromas of white flowers, black fruits, plum and graphite. Balanced and energetic on the palate with sweet round tannins and notes of blueberry, plum liquorice and chocolate. Long and satisfying on the finish. Great with red meats or hearty stews.
Terre Fideles Organic Cote du Roussillion, France: From the sundrenched terroirs of Southern France, this, is a blend of Grenache and Carignan, a wine of power but not at the cost of elegance and finesses. A beautiful balance of dark and light. Grenache brings with it huge dark brooding fruit, great concentration and rich texture, whilst Carignan adds freshness, acidity, and bright fruit which marks out this very singular wine.
Bodegas Manzanos Rioja Reserva, Spain: A gorgeous Rioja, this wine stands out for its elegance and intense aromas of dried fruit, liquorice, spices, cocoa and coffee. Fresh and enticing on the palate, with ripe Garnacha notes of red berries, there are spicy overtones and layers of red fruit. A rich, long and pleasantly spicy finish.
