DRINK OF THE WEEK
3rd November 2025
La P'tite Pierre Rouge
Tesco £7.25
Drinker Rating 89
So back on 30 Oct it was International Carignan Day - woo hoo! Did you celebrate? Did you know? Do you even know what carignan is?
There are so many of these grape days that it's easy to see another fly by without impact. But FYI carignan is a red grape of Spanish origin and you'd be right to not really know about it as it's mostly used in blends, as it is in this Drink of the Week.
It brings to this wine a good deep colour and some nice tannic structure. Never underestimate the workhorse.
Cheers!
