Blés Tinto 2014, Valencia

13.5%
€9.50 in Dunnes Stores from 1st September.

Medium-bodied with lovely bouncy ripe dark fruits and light tannins on the finish.

A good all-rounder, and perfect with mid-week dinners.

I really enjoyed the previous vintage of this wine and the new 2014 vintage is every bit as good. It is made primarily from Bobal, a variety unique to south-east Spain. The 2014 has been blended with some Tempranillo and Cabernet to bring the alcohol down a little, and it has worked really well. I believe this is going on sale in Dunnes Stores at €9.50 from 1st September – a fantastic bargain in my books.
