Vina Araya 2010, Cabernet Carmenere, £9.99, Sainsbury’s.

The smooth, purple, plummy taste of Chile’s own Carmenere grapes blended with the berry flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon make this a delightful red from the Central Valley in the foothills of the Andes.

At 12.5 per cent alcohol it doesn’t have any of the heaviness of stronger wines.

An ideal drink with a wide variety of foods.
