South American wine is booming - these bottles are the best

The best South American wine to drink

South American wine is booming for us Brits. An Argentinian Malbec has long been a gateway, converting consumers with broodingly smooth glasses of dark fruits and spice at a good price. Last year the UK overtook China as the largest importer (by value) of Chilean wine with their lithe Sauvignon Blancs and traditional Carmère. Even lesser known Uruguay has an Albarino stocked at Ocado (M&S Albarino Uruguay £10), though it is their national red grape tannat that you should really look out for.

At lunch with a friend recently, two glasses of crisp sparkling wine were served to us that we struggled to place. Precise, vivid, clearly traditional method, it turned out to be from the high-altitude slopes of Brazil. A delicious revelation!
