” A new journey to be started. A new promise to be fulfilled. A new page to be written. Go forth unto this waiting world with glass in hand, all you wine lovers, the open bottle awaits. Be creative. Be adventurous. Be original. And above all else, be brave. For knowing wine is your greatest ally, your greatest tool. Use it wisely.”

Zarapito, Budget wines.

It's great to have a few options when choosing some under €8 wines. So, in view of current budgetary requirements, it's an area that we need to concentrate on to offer our customers the best in this category.
Zarapito comes in both white and red blends.
The Red is a Malbec - Bonarda blend. These are typically Argentinian grape varieties. Bonarda, I find to be too fruit filled with little structure as a varietal but teamed with Malbec which is quite a dark liquorice and black chocolate grape these really work well as a duo. Even better as a mid-week t.v wine retailing at €6.99.
The White is again typically Argentinian. The blend is Torrontes - Chenin blanc. Fresh and zesty with lots of balanced citrus and tropical fruit flavours. 
Same price as 2 cappuccinos from your local petrol station only far more palatable.
