Argentinian Wine

A silky-textured, mineral Pinot Grigio, featuring light citrus blossom and soft pear characters. Grown at high altitude in the Andes foothills.

A real thirst quencher! This intense, yet delicate 'Fairtrade' Pinot Gris comes from Argentina's own viticultural paradise: the Famatina Valley.

Another winner from boutique winery Ruca Malen. This elegant Chardonnay bursts with spicy apricots and zesty nectarines.

Full bodied, yet elegant Cabernet from Argentina's classic winemaking region Mendoza. A serious wine, offering unbeatable value for money.

Pioneering winery Ruca Malen deliver an intense and luscious wine, one of the very few examples of 100% Petit Verdot in Argentina

Jet-plum, essentially opaque and clinging to the glass, this reveals a spicy array of red and black fruit, cherries and berries on the nose, allied to rather savoury, mushroom notes, juniper, pepper - rather hedonistic. The palate reflects the aromatic character of the nose with additional floral notes. Layered and complex, supple and opulent, this is a very fine Quimera, supported by refined, ripe, rather noble tannins. The aim for Quimera is perfection. This is what they refer to as their Bordeaux blend and although less often seen, Malbec does constitute one of the Bordeaux varietals. Two vines are required to make one bottle of Quimera. The wine is fermented in tank before being blended and transferred to oak barrel for malolactic fermentation and 12 months’ ageing. The barrels are 40% new and 60% one year old.

Dark fruit and earthy notes prevail on the nose yet the palate leans more towards the red fruit spectrum, the texture silken and supple. This is generous and bright with hints of citrus - orange zest providing an extra dimension - dark chocolate and espresso, layered with fruit and directed by a well-integrated tannic structure through to a very rich, elegant finish.

Deep ruby-garnet, this offers almost white wine aromatics, complementing attractive primary fruit, summer pudding berries and cherries. Wonderfully fresh and enticing, appetising and upbeat, the palate is light and airy - rather lovely in fact with precision and focus through to a crescendo on the finish – stunning.

The all-rounder of Achaval-Ferrer's Finca wines. Svelte and naturally gifted, it all comes easily to Mirador.

The over-achiever. Everything is rarefied about Altamira, from the air at 1,050 metres above sea level, to its 80 year old ungrafted vines.

The prop forward. A thrillingly full bodied, high octane style, with an impressive density of flavour, glycerol and tannin.
