We feel we have a weeknight ‘wine-down’ routine to recommend for you… If it’s been a long day and you feel the need to be whisked away to somewhere slightly more exotic, let us take you to Mendoza. All you have to do is twist off the top of a bottle of Bodegas Bianchi and splash yourself a glass. This is a blend of 90% malbec with a 10% dash of syrah to add lift and a broader fruit profile to flesh out more complexity. And it’s done rather impressively. Approachable and succulent flavours of plums, blackberries burst over the palate while subtle hints of dried herbs linger in the background and fine, soft tannins ensure a smooth finish to this bold and fleshy wine. Made for drinking now and in the short term, there’s no better time to pop the top off a bottle and enjoy Argentina’s finest variety.
