This is one of the gems in Lidl’s range and is seriously good drinking. It has all hallmarks of classic Coonawarra cab in its rich, ripe blackcurrant, chocolate and a pinch of mint depths.  With its smooth, rounded curves and soft succulent tannins it will quickly endear itself from first sip through to the vanilla spiced length. It is not just the price tag that will impress you.

Drink it with a meaty pie with flaky pastry, venison if you want to jazz up your dinner, or sink back into your comfiest armchair and chill.
