Made by Pagos del Rey, this is a bold red that might appeal to many. Not my preferred style, but I enjoyed a few glasses.
Supermarket wines: Gran Bajoz, Toro Vinas Viejas 2021 from Lidl
good value
Affordable red burgundy to buy: Domaine des Remparts Irancy Les Cailles 2022
At 18,38€ this is still a very affordable burgundy and I had no big expectations to be honest. But then I was blown away by the beauty of the wine… buy until stock last!
Rhone reds from Lidl
I’m a big grenache fan and sadly there aren’t many available on the Hungarian market, so I was happy to see new Southern Rhone reds popping up in Lidl recently. I cannot say they impressed me, though.
Lovely chianti – Col d’Orcia Gineprone 2020
My favourite affordable chianti is back on the blog! This 2020 release is just as good as the 2018 was (see post here). I need to buy more of it…
Supermarket wines: Léo de la Gaffeliére Bordeaux 2016
A bit more than 6 years old and this little Bordeaux red is in a great form. That’s not common from such relatively cheap wines from other wine regions…
Supermarket wines: Eszterbauer Tanyamacska Kékfrankos 2020
Eszterbauer is one of my favourite Szekszárd producers, and their entry level reds are rarely disappointing. Even though 2020 doesn’t seem to be the best vintage for them.
