Cal y Canto Tinto, La Mancha

I AM frequently asked what wine is the best value at the moment and I have had a stock answer for a number of years: buy from Chile and Spain.

Cal y Canto Tinto, La Mancha

Chile is certainly providing the cheapest drinkable wine in the country at the moment but it also suffers a little in having a very limited range of flavours given how reliant it is on international grape varieties.

Spain used to be rather monotonous also with only Tempranillo-based wines available, but that has all changed in recent years. Back in the 1990s Rioja was the only reliable wine region and beyond Rioja it was advisable to stick to big brands such as Torres.
