GB News offers verdict on Virgin Wines premium red trio on offer for just £15 this Father’s Day

Sunday is Father's Day, and to mark the occasion, Virgin Wines has put out three premium reds on offer for Britons planning to raise a glass.GB News tasted its way through the trio, which covers some of the world’s most famous wine regions, to see what's in the case. CLAIM OUR FATHER'S DAY OFFER NOWThe bottles - a Spanish Rioja, an Australian Shiraz and an Argentine Malbec - are available for just £15 with free delivery until Sunday 21st June. Here's what we thought. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say Marqués del Parral Rioja DOCa Tempranillo, SpainGrown in the high plains of the sun-kissed Rioja region, this wine is made with 100 per cent Tempranillo fruit. Notes of plum and wild strawberry dominate the palate, joined by a very subtle whisper of chocolate.While oaky tannins add complexity to the bouquet, there is also a slight acidic edge to the wine, making it an easy weeknight pour.Florel Reserve Malbec, ArgentinaOver in the high altitudes of Argentina, Malbec grapes produce a red that is lighter than its bolder red cousins - and the Florel Reserve carries through.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSWaitrose announces rare British vegetable will be available year-round in UK supermarket firstAldi launches Father's Day steak range with new and returning premium cuts - in stores todayWaitrose shoppers issued 'do not consume' alert as product pulled from shelvesBalancing dried fruit and chocolate notes with fresh plum and blackberry, the result is a full-bodied wine with a finish smooth enough to linger on the palate. While it would pair nicely with heartier dishes, it also holds well on its own.Ripper Shiraz, AustraliaThe Ripper Shiraz originates from a third-generation family-owned winery in South Eastern Australia. Their creation is a medium-bodied red that is generously fruity, offering notes of blackberry, cherry and a hint of spice.Leaning slightly towards the preserved-fruit character favoured by many wine lovers, this red would stand up well alongside red meat.While being very different in character, each bottle carries something unique of the place it originates from, and there is no doubt the selection will suit whatever's on the menu this Father's Day.LEARN MORE HEREThe case is available across mainland England, Scotland and Wales, with free delivery straight to the door. Every order will also be backed by a “no questions asked” money-back guarantee - allowing customers to buy with total confidence.Find out more about Virgin Wine’s Father’s Day offer here.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
