2022 Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec, Luján de Cuyo

( £14-17, 14%, Asda, Morrisons, Ocada, Tesco )

Golden Reserve showcases the quality of four different sub-regions in the Primera Zona close to Mendoza – Agrelo, Las Compuertas, Perdriel and Vistalba – and is a well-priced, textbook expression of Argentina’s signature red grape. Fig, blackberry and summer pudding flavours are complemented by a twist of liquorice and a fresh, tangy, tapering finish. A red that makes me want to fire up the barbecue.
