Bodega Piedra Negra, L’Esprit de Chacayes, 2019

Los Chacayes GI is the home of fierce reds – and this blend of unaged Malbec and 30% Côt, with no added sulphites, is about as pure an expression as you’re likely to find. Fruity and balsamic with hints of earth and mountain herb, the flavours return in the mouth with good juiciness and tension as well as chalky tannins. Delicious with lamb ragu.
