South America, beyond Malbec. Friday 25th September @ 7pm. Griffin Mill

South America, beyond Malbec brings Laurie Webster of Ucopia Wines to Stroud for an evening that looks past the continents famous flagship grape. Laurie will guide guests through the regions, altitudes and winemakers reshaping Argentina’s identity, showing how varieties such as Criolla, Petit Verdot and Torrontes are driving a new wave of characterful, site‑focused wines. Then we will move to Uruguay to taste the Tannat and Albarino from the wonderful Vino Progresso winery.

Laurie has specialised in South American wine since 2008, first with Las Bodegas, then since 2021 through his own business, Ucopia Wines. Ucopia is the UK’s leading importer of top-quality wines from Argentina, working with small to medium-sized wineries.
