Argentina’s signature grape, Malbec, is well represented here by this gorgeous wine, with its nose of black cherry, cassis, pepper, cedar, black olive, plums and spices. It is rich and dense on the palate with extracted cassis and currants and bolstered by lavish spices through the smooth and polished finish. Try with duck breast or grilled sausage.
Now this is something! Aromas of black cherry, raspberry, a riot of spices, cloves, woodsmoke and toasty vanilla-oak stylings. Quite structured on the palate; the red fruits are joined by touches of blueberry and bramble with mocha-vanilla spice all delivered on a firm tannic backbone. Could cellar for a few years to let everything come into harmony.
Deep ruby-purplish. Ripe black fruits, slightly jammy, spicy oak. Full and ripe; intense fruity taste and warm on the palate; velvety texture; barely tannic, round finish. Generous and ready to drink.
Aurelio Montes makes top-class wines in Chile and has recently branched out to make wines in Argentina. A blend of Malbec, Bonarda and Petit Verdot, it’s dense purple-ruby in colour with a blackberry and vanilla oak nose. It offers well-extracted fruit and it’s fresh and lively on the palate with a lingering chocolate and black fruit flavour.
Combines Old World Corvina and Argentina’s signature Malbec with the Ripasso method to create a New World wine with plenty of Old World character. Nose shows complex developed fruit attractively dusted with cinnamon. Dark plum and cherry flavours come in a velvety texture backed by plush tannins, dark chocolate and discreet oak, finishing with a dry tannic kick.
Their Santa Rosa vineyard yields a captivating juxtaposition of savoury complexity and ripe fruitiness. Smoky tobacco and red cherry scents lead to well-integrated tannins and flavours of rich prune and spicy vanilla notes. Long, complex finish. Pairs exceptionally well with vegetarian dishes.
Another classic Michel Rolland wine. Dense purple-black in colour with an earthy nose of sweet blackberries and pencil graphite; full-bodied with a chunky mouthfeel and a warm alcoholic finish. A robust, muscular wine not for the faint of heart.
