THE WINE LIST

Three worthy bottles every week – for three different budgets

EXQUISITE COLLECTION MALBEC

€9.99, ALDI Glorious concentration in this 100% Malbec Argentinian. It’s the fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the truth with no oak. Meaty red for a steak.

DONA PAULA BLACK EDITION

€12, SUPERVALU (ON SPECIAL) Mainly Malbec and Cabernet, this Argentinian is a snip at this price. Ripe, rich, nicely oaked with brambly fruit and a touch of eucalyptus.

LYRAKIS VOILA ASSYRTIKO

€17.50, INDEPENDENTS Crisp, juicy apples here with a mineral tang and lovely weight in the mouth. This Greek white is from Crete and is a complete revelation.
