Joya del Rio Toro 2015, Spain (£8.99 Laithwaites)
The gentle kick of alcohol, the generous dark plummy berry and blackcurrant flavour and the slight note of damson skin tells you that this comes from a warm climate, but it’s never too loud and pushy, and there’s a fresh edge to the herb- and spice-tinged flavours, plus a touch of toasty oak. Good chilly weather glug. B+
