Tesco's Chilean range is really strong at the moment, exemplified by this cracking-value Pinot for under a tenner. Errazuriz is one of Chile's leading names, based in the cool-climate Aconcagua region. This entry-level Pinot is bursting with fleshy strawberry fruit flavours, and a hint of demerara sugar. It has a captivating New World exuberance to it, but manages to retain freshness at the same time. Half of the wine was aged for six months in French oak, after fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
