Made for Sainsbury's by Norrel Robertson MW, this is one of his two new Garnachas in Sainsbury's autumn/winter 2021 range. Juicy and easydrinking with bright cherry and plum aromas. Considered winemaking (there's 10% Syrah in the blend and 10% of the wine was aged in oak) adds complexity to the palate, with spice and herbal notes – even a touch of florality – with well-integrated tannins. Lovely match for chorizo.

Sainsbury’s has made a wise choice in turning to Aragon-based Scottish MW Norrel Robertson for this explosively juicy but balanced Garnacha. Produced from very old vines planted at 600m-800m on the slopes of Mount Moncayo, it’s a wine of uninhibited, tumbling berry juiciness with just a hint of paprika spice (there’s 10% Syrah in the blend). Excellent value.
