This is another Aldi find. It was around $10 a bottle and not a bad match for a cheap and cheerful pasta dinner on the floor (PS: hurry up Kent Removals - I want our furniture and stuff to arrive!!).

What I found interesting is that it’s a blend of Tempranillo, Bobal, Merlot and Shiraz.

It’s a purple-y red colour on the eye. The nose is full of candied fruits and vanilla while in the kisser it’s fruity and juicy with flavours of cherries and plums. I think we both enjoyed this one slightly more than the Argentinian one a few notes back.

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine
