DRINK OF THE WEEK
5th October 2026
Juanico Albarino
M and S/Ocado £10.00
Drinker Rating 90
I love how some countries have staked a claim on grape varieties, New Zealand have Sauvignon Blanc, Argentina has Malbec and now Uruguay, yes, Uruguay is joining the game.
Uruguay's key grape is Tannat - which is a bit left field but it does the trick. They are also laying a marker down for Albarino, and this one from M&S is a belter. Good ripe grapes providing body and tropical fruit notes. Only a tenner and there is a Tannat to match it at M&S from the same producer.
Time for a Uruguayan wine night I think!
Cheers!
