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!
Iris Doble Malbec
A rich and complex malbec with plenty of ripe black fruit and a wonderful velvety structure.
El Camino Malbec
El Camino – the King’s Highway – threads mythically through the foothills of the majestic Andes among vineyards famed the world over for the purity of their growing conditions.
A well-balanced wine with inviting aromas of plum jam, through to a fresh juicy palate and a rich smoky finish.
La Gran Bestia Malbec Bonarda
No myth or legend here. Instead, a real big beast of a wine from the Mendoza Valley. Deep, brooding and dark. Big fruit, big spice, big flavours.
Sottano Malbec
Situated between the City of Mendoza and Chile, the Sottano winery has the Andes as a backdrop and is known for growing the most high end grapes in the region. This malbec has complex flavours of ripe red frutis, chocolate and vanilla brought together through good structure and velvety tannins.
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.
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?
Sottano Chardonnay
Tropical fruits including pineapple and passionfruit whilst 3 months in Frech oak gives notes of vanilla and coconut.
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.
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.
Sottano Viognier
Fresh grapes and some citrus, combined with some floral notes. Refreshing, with a good acidity balance, and a body that makes it easy to pair with food.
Riccitelli ‘The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree’ Torrontes
Torrontés is Argentina’s signature white grape; this crisp and refreshing Torrontés is a classic example. The nose has fresh and inviting aromas of rose, white peach and citrus. On the palate it is refreshing and full of flavour.
Piattelli Tannat
Century old vines are irrigated by the pure waters melting from the snow crested peaks in the Andes. A mouth filling, powerful wine with rich blackberry fruits and hints of spice.
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.
Sottano Seleccion Mendoza Blend
Aromas of berries, floral, cassis completed by notes of oak as coffee, chocolate and more. We enjoy every lovely drop!
Sottano Seleccion Cabernet Sauvignon
With a big volume into the palate, there are soft and ripened tannins, achieving a perfect balance with the oak.
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.
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.
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.
Riglos Gran Malbec
An intense red colour with ripe red fruits, blackberries and cassis. Juicy, round with great concentration.
Rocamadre Criolla
Lightly coloured, juicy, thirst-quenching red wine that displays the Criolla varieties in a whole new light.
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.
De Angeles Malbec
Grapes are only ever from De Angeles’ one small vineyard – ‘Viña 1924 Parcel 3’ – and the age of the vines partly explains the stunning concentration here. Deep ruby red in colour, lovely aromas of plums and sweet red berries, silky-textured in the mouth with incredible length. Elegant yet intense, fresh, complex, superbly balanced and, best of all, very moreish.
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.
