Each issue, Olly will be recommending wine varieties that have caught his eye. This issue, he suggests…
CM Carmenere 2008
A spicy, deep red from Chile’s magical Elqui Valley – and fantastic value too!
Amalya de Colomé Malbec Blend
A real flagship for Argentinean reds. Bold deep dark flavours from a vineyard so high in the Andes it’s practically in space!
Domaine Wachau ‘Terraces’ Grüner Veltliner 2008 from Wachau Austria
An awesomely peachy and fresh white wine – an amazing apéritif or you can match it with fish dishes and hard-to-match flavours such as artichoke.
