Freixenet Chianti, 75 cl

Product Information

With altitude as its USP – it’s printed loudly and proudly on the label – the dizzying vineyards at Cafayate Estate in Argentina are 1,750 metres above sea level. Their wine has a significantly longer shelf life than bottles – staying fresh for up to six weeks after opening, no less – while their stylish boxes are made from recycled PET bottles and aluminium cans. We recommend that you always check the packaging for allergen advice and talk to your doctor if you need any further food allergy advice. Fast fact: they’ve already removed 10 million bottles thanks, in large part, to the stamina of UK drinkers. What’s more, the winning flavour profile is matched by impressive sustainability credentials, from the Fairtrade marque supporting local communities to the solar-powered production methods (they’re only the second winery in South Africa to be powered by the sun).

The bouquet has a wild berry fruit character with spicy notes and violet aromas, with a very elegant finish.The Chilean wine, made in Valle Central, typifies its variety and teams best with grilled meat, as you’d expect. Full-bodied, it has hints of black fruits, ripe plums, raisins, vanilla and sweet and toasted spices on the nose, while being smooth with sweet tannins on the palate. The special-edition bottle of Altano supports Rewilding Portugal – a not-for-profit protecting the country’s natural wildlife – which means more of the horses, eagles, wolves and deer illustrated on the label.

For this reason, we strongly recommend that you always read the actual product label carefully before using or consuming any product. Great for grilled meats – think caramelised lamb chops over coals on the terraza – it’s a smooth and full-bodied sip for instant holiday vibes. Anyone who goes on holiday to Spain knows that Freixenet Cordon Negro Cava – in its sexy black matt bottle – is one of the best-kept secrets in supermercados and is often served as the house fizz at even the fanciest of restaurants. This organic Argentinean malbec hails from leading winery Domaine Bousquet, which was founded by its French winemaker after he discovered the region of Gualtallary during a holiday, and is packed with spicy black and red fruits with silky tannins and rich aromas.As the highest calibre of the Rhône Valley – there are no more than three in total, including Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages – the classic Cru des Côtes du Rhône Vinsobres packs a proper punch for Sunday roasts or summer barbecues. Moreish and intense, there’s blackcurrant and mulberry on the nose and blueberry and black olives on the palate, making this an enticing choice for everyday drinking. What’s more, it’s created by the esteemed Symington family, who use the Altano brand as their own table wine. Deliciously creamy, it’s made from carefully-selected tempranillo grapes, and features charismatic red berries with a touch of oak (thanks to barrel-ageing for more than a year). Interestingly, it’s one of a few grape varieties to have red pulp as well as skin, giving it a deep colour and a full body.
