Vinalba make a lot of wine and it’s generally decent.  This is no different it’s a fairly simple dry red wine with decent length and flavours of cherry,  redcurrant, a little blackcurrant and hints of chocolate.  The IWC gave this 95 points which seems very high to me. It did go very well with a big plate of cheese and biscuits but at £12 a bottle it’s a bit overpriced, its wine to just drink not to think about.

This Torrontes from Vinabla, Lujan de Cuyo in Argentina is a text book Torrontes and that is not a bad thing, dry and bold but with masses of fruit that balances it all. Wth smells of tropical fruit and blossom, there’s lots of flavours in there too, pineapple, mango, melon and peach which went very well with a chicken biryani with vegi curry.

At £9 a bottle its spot on the money and taste.
