Toro Loco, Hermanito Red 2023
Utiel-Requena, Spain, Dry Red, Screwcap, 10.0% abv(2024) Let's make one thing clear from the start: this wine earns its place for a very specific reason, and very specific purpose. Reviewed mid-summer 2024 when it's the height of barbecue season, many people are looking for a fruity, inexpensive red to drink in the sunshine. A priority is lower alcohol and carefree quaffability. Step up this £4 blend of Bobal and Tempranillo from the high altitude vineyards of Utiel-Requena, near Valencia in Spain. With 10% alcohol it fits the bill: chill it if you like, plop a few ice cubes into the glass if you fancy, and enjoy its tutti-frutti red berries, almost non existent tannins, and modest acidity. Not for the cognoscenti. Watch the video for more information.
Why is this out of stock in Aldi I have checked out 3 branches in Scotland as my own local Aldi in Erskine outside of Glasgow have not had it in for 3 weeks
Hi Anne,
Sorry to hear you haven’t tracked this down. My review is from July, so perhaps it has genuinely sold out over the past three months. Perhaps an email to Aldi woukd be worth trying?
