Finca Bella Vista Achaval Ferrer 2008

Welcome to Corney & Barrow Login

Finca Bella Vista is one of three vineyards identified by the team at Achaval-Ferrer for their clearly individual personalities.

Deeply-coloured, a shimmering jet-plum in colour, with a bright, firm rim, this is immediately engaging, offering a heady array of spiced old vine fruit, crushed stone minerals and violets. The palate echoes this aromatic profile with a crescendo of fowers and wild fruit vying for dominance, all complemented by darker, brooding scorched earth and hints of tobacco.

"Achaval-Ferrer has fast established a reputation as one of Argentina's very top names. Early on, the founders discovered that old vines and very low yields were key to achieving high quality. 'What makes a wine extraordinary is the expression of the uniqueness of its terroir,' says Santiago Achaval, president and winemaker. All the wines are 100% Malbec or Malbec-based blends, as it 'best reflects the terroir."

"Fine wine aficionados should also beat a path to the door of Achaval-Ferrer's tiny Bella Vista winery in Perdriel on the famous Via Cobos. For many, Achaval-Ferrer make the best Malbec wines in Argentina. If you are planning on making the pilgrimage, it is essential to book in advance."
