A NEW range of Argentinian wines is now on the market at Tesco and Morrisons.

The La Boca wines are named after the colourful Bohemian district of Buenos Aires. Famously the birthplace of the Tango, La Boca is a South American Soho, known for its colourful ramshackle houses, as depicted on the wine label. The wines are made at the Medrano Estate, from grapes sourced from Mendoza, Argentina's best known wine producing region.

The range includes a robust, full-flavoured and smooth Malbec Syrah, which carries a certain kick from a spicy, peppery undertone. The wine, priced at £4.49 is from Tesco.

The Torrontes Chardonnay blend is a refreshing wine. It is a lively and crisp white. The wine combines a fruity taste complemented by the wonderful aromas of peach and apricot. The Chardonnay is a reasonable £3.99 from Tesco and Morrisons.

It is a wine with soft, ripe fruit flavours, carrying hints of damson and cherries in aroma. Both wines are £4.49 a bottle, and available from Morrisons.
