Iris Malbec
A young and fruity Malbec from the Porretta family vineyards in Luján de Cuyo. Really soft flavours of cherries, plums, and a pleasing finish. Recently awarded 90 points from James Suckling!
Familia Zuccardi Torrontes Tardio
Intense aromas of mature fruits, honey and dried fruits like pears, apricots and peaches, orange skin and roses. Sweet, unctuous in the mouth, silky, with balanced acidity. Great with ice cream or pancakes.
Santuario Malbec
Classic Malbec at an affordable price. Plum, blueberry and blackcurrant with plenty of complexity and a harmonious finish.
Mauricio Lorca Recoleta Bonarda
Brand new in from Mauricio Lorca – a perfect example, showing that Argentina has much more to offer than Malbec. This 100% Bonarda from Vista Flores in Mendoza has an abundance of fresh red fruit character; cherry, raspberry, redcurrant and cranberry. Along with good structure, soft tannins and a long finish. Wonderfully delicious on its own, but pairs really well with lean meats, red meats and dishes with creamy sauces.
Recoleta Pedro Ximenez Blanco
A wine offering a delightful flurry of inviting aromatics – lots of juicy-ripe citrus fruit, yes, but also lifted herbaceous notes, dried flowers and summer straw. This lovely little wine is more like an Albariño than Pinot Grigio, with lots to get stuck into, great balance and structure and an excellent finish.
Sottano Cabernet Sauvignon
Everyone buys the Malbec, and its a wonderful wine, but we think the Cabernet version is even better!
Lorca Lorca Malbec
A really good winemaker like Mauricio Lorca sometimes dots the i’s and crosses the t’s with a little touch of something else. In this case Mauricio has used a little Syrah – powerful, spicy, dark Syrah – to inject a little extra pizzazz into this already very attractive Malbec. The key to the wine’s huge appeal is, like many good things in life, its simplicity and honesty. Simple, juicy, fresh and delicious; what’s not to like?
Lorca Fantasia Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Mauricio Lorca’s own vineyards in Vista Flores in the Uco Valley, 30% of which is lightly oaked. High density, high vertical vine training, just under 7,000 vines per hectare, approximately 2 bottles of wine per plant, this is the Fantasia philosophy.
Dark, brooding colour; a most intense nose reminiscent of black wine gums, sweet black plums and blueberry pie; the palate is softness itself, very smooth tannins and an impressive finish with hints of tobacco leaf and fresh mint.
Malbrontes Mendoza Malbec Torrontes
The delicate aromatic qualities of the Torrontés (just 5% in the blend) adds an extra, subtly aromatic, floral dimension to the wine. It also adds a dash of refreshing acidity. Malbrontes Red is designed to be soft, simple and delicious
Lorca Fantasia Torrontes
This is a gorgeous little Torrontés, plenty of that sublime exotic character – jasmine scent and lychees – but superb acid structure making it really zesty and lively. Winemaker, Mauricio Lorca picks approximately 10% of the fruit a little early in order to achieve this refreshing style.
Sottano Rosé Brut
Wow! This is wonderful, full of raspberries, cherry and strawberry flavours. Fresh, floral and delicious.
Crios Tannat
A Tannat that can be enjoyed without the need for a knife and fork or 10 years in bottle!
Serbal Cabernet Franc
Classic Cab Franc notes of fresh capsicum and pencil shavings on the nose, fresh and clean on the palate with delicious red berry fruits. Unoaked.
Vallisto Extremo Criolla
This wine, which is typically light in colour due to the pinkish colouerd skins, has the potential to blow your mind. Or, at the very least, introduce you a completely ‘new’ grape variety. It looks light but it packs a delicious punch with raunchy acidity and playful, quite pronounced tannins, almost like biting into a delicious red apple. The nose is lovely, almost exotic with charming floral notes, a subtle whiff of Turkish delight and ripe summer fruits.
Catalpa Cabernet Sauvignon
From Vista Flores, an area of the Uco Valley that is hard to beat for top notch Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep and dark in the glass with gorgeous aromas of ripe blackcurrants, violets, dried fruits, coffee and tobacco leaf. Seriously intense on the palate, extremely well balanced and a happy cellar resident for 6 – 8 years for those who are so inclined.
Sottano Seleccion del Enologo Malbec
This Malbec is a delight, with a great combination of fruits like strawberries and blackberries. Spice, clove and white pepper on the palate. Good structure; silky and sweet, ripe tannins that are perfectly integrated. A complex, intense and luxuriant Malbec of Mendoza.
Sottano Seleccion del Enologo Cabernet Sauvignon
Sottano Winery is located in one of the most unique wine regions for growing high-end grapes in Mendoza. Thirty kilometres away from the City of Mendoza and on the way to Chile, Sottano Winery enjoys the magnificent Andes Mountain Range as its backdrop. Red fruits and mint with cassis, cappuccino and chocolate add a great complexity to this Cabernet. The ripe, round tannins enable good balance and a long finish.
Mauricio Lorca Poetico Syrah
This delicious Syrah packs a big, spicy, chocolate-infused punch in its youth but after a few years in bottle, as here, it mellows into a most sultry and complex wine, a delight if you fancy an askew take on the northern Rhône.
Riglos Gran Cabernet Sauvignon
Surely one of the best Cabernet Sauvignons in Argentina. Riglos is a single-estate, high elevation specialist from Valle de Uco, Mendoza. The proximity to the Andes Mountains and high elevation creates sunny, cool growing conditions, the resulting, excellently-structured wines carry layers of fruit and herbal aromatics highlighted by lithe minerality and polished tannins.
Cara Sur Tinto
This Tinto is actually 100% Bonarda grown at 1,500 metres above sea level at the Maggio Estate vineyard in Calingasta, where the vines are more than 50 years old and look more like small tress than vines. The wine is black in appearance. The nose offers dense meaty notes at first, almost Bovril like, then gives way to a wave of herbaceousness and sweet black fruits. Muscular in texture, this is a chewy, rich red wine with fantastic concentration and amazing length; a wine that people are already talking about as being arguably the best, most honest and impressive ‘Bonarda’ in Argentina. As with all the Cara Sur wines, production is tiny. This is by far the biggest volume wine with a total run of 4,500 bottles!
Demente Malbec-Cabernet Franc
Demente by name, demented by nature. Talk about pushing the envelope? A blend of 55% Malbec and 45% Cab Franc from eight separate vineyards with forty days between the first and last pick. This is a wine with layer upon layer of character and complexity, amazing lemony notes on the nose with herbs and dried flowers. Very dark in colour, nervy and tense in the best possible sense on the palate.
Sottano Judas Malbec
Incredible wine! Great complexity and aromatic intensity, notes of cherries, spices, tobacco, cassis, white pepper, and cloves with touches of mint and chocolate. Good structure and acidity, velvety and sweet tannins. Full bodied in the mouth with a long and persistent finish.
