This is a blogger challenge with Frontera Wines.
This is my second recipe for my challenge. This recipe is to use as a sauce to drizzle onto any meat. Merlot is a rich dry dark fruits wine. This wine is soft and smooth with a 12.5% alcohol content. It is great to eat with pasta, cheeses, meat and chicken.
If you have not heard of Frontera before, in fact they are the world’s best-selling Chilean wine brand. The brand has refreshed the look and feel with its redesigned packaging. Now each bottle’s label has a fun and visual story all about the heritage of the wine, the poetry is told through the traditional Chilean method of ‘Lira Popular’ portraying the innovative spirit of Frontera.
On their redesigned packaging, the label on the Merlot bottle has the following:
It was a little blackbird
That gave me my name
Mirlo they called it
Beautiful and dark
Two things we share
Along with a joyful song
Grapes with magical roots
The Frontera range is available at stockists nationwide RRP £5.99 the range includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and the newly launched Cabernet Sauvignon Blush. This is the rich mushroom wine sauce recipe.

Rich and Red
Two things we share

Grapes with magical roots
