I’m really pleased to include the fantasia wines as it’s great to find a new Argentinian producer to give Gouguenheim a run for his money. The Torrentés is as good as any I’ve tried and fits the bill if you find a little bit of sunshine left to enjoy it in. Equally the Cabernet Franc delivers something unique, and definitely works on a warmer evening.
I’ve included the St Emillion because I was really pleased when this vintage came on stream. We’ve been supporters of Jean-Voisin wines for a number of years, but I really liked the 2012. the vintage generally has received mixed reviews, but it is accepted that it was a Merlot rather than a Cabernet year, and this is a great example of a Merlot dominated claret.
I also take on one of the wine world’s toughest questions in this month’s feature article. As I try and work out how many grapes there are in a bottle of wine.
