Argentina isn't the first place you'd think of to look for Shiraz, but snap this up before it sells out, as it won Silver at the 2020 DWWA. It has a lifted nose of blackberry, plum, sweet spice and potpourri which follows on to a more savoury yet still plush palate, enlivened by crisp acidity and grippy tannins from nine months' oak ageing. For Malbec fans, the Cocodrilo 2019 (£9.99, online only) is a real winner.
