Mendoza's long, warm days and cool nights bring out the best in these grapes, which thrive in the mountains.
Delightful expression of huge brambly Malbec. The nose offers an appealing, mixed spice, bramble fruit bomb followed by dark, damson and savoury overtones on the palate. The finish is smooth, rounded and nicely balanced.

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 a run-of-the-mill Pinot Grigio, with lots to get stuck into, great balance and structure and an excellent finish

Everything you could ever want from an entry-level Malbec, and more!

All the Amalaya wines are fruit driven in style, with a finesse that unites them. The trophy winning Torrontes/Riesling is silky on the palate, refreshing and bursting with aromas of citrus, blossom and grapefruit.

Wonderful purity of fruit here. Luscious and soft, dark plummy fruit with layers of damson. Unoaked with a simple appealing freshness.

Inviting smoke and spice on the nose is complemented by redcurrants and ripe, lush cherries. Everything you could want in a malbec; plum jam, tobacco, dark chocolate and vanilla come together in this medium to full bodied wine with a long lasting finish.

8 months in oak with an exceptional concentration of fruit. A powerful nose with aromas of red berries, black
fruits and raspberries plus a good firm structure.

It has all the floral subtlety and delicate exotic nuance that this grape is so cherished for but, unlike a lot of other examples, many from Salta Province in the far north, this one is more subtly nuanced than in your face! Also, unlike many others, this one is really lean and lively on the palate, ultra zesty and fresh. In fact, texture wise, it feels more like a very good Sauvignon Blanc, such is the acid balance and structure in relation to the lovely ripeness of fruit. Stunning.

Ripe red summer fruits and forest floor notes; light, fresh and juicy on the palate. It's from Patagonia, of course, widely regarded as the country's best source of Pinot.

Lovely notes of honeysuckle and stone fruits on the nose.
Made in a really fresh, lean, aromatic style.

Dark, earthy fruit with crunchy black currant and a savoury twang. A terrific food wine, best matched with a chunky rib eye steak.

Classic Cab Franc notes of fresh capsicum and pencil shavings on the nose, fresh and clean on the palate with delicious red berry fruits.

Aromas of red mature fruit combined with touches of vanilla and chocolate. Smooth in the mouthfeel, balanced, with velvety and sweet tannins

Deep, inky-ruby colour with lovely lifted notes of fresh mint, sweet spice and blackcurrant jam on the nose. This is a seamlessly integrated, full-bodied wine demonstrating intelligent use of oak (7 months for 50% of the wine) and showing again just how good this part of the Uco Valley is for Cabernet. It's a blend of 2 separate lots from 3 different harvest dates. One lot with 5 days cold maceration; the second with 20 days post fermentation. A delightful, highly aromatic Cabernet.

After several years of experimentation with varying toast levels and various barrel producers, Susana Balbo has created a Torrontés that takes this varietal into a whole new sphere of influence. The exuberant floral and fruity notes that we know and love have become delicately muted and are complemented with the most ethereal and subtle oak influences. Although still distinctly Torrontés, this actually noses a little like a great Viognier, dare we say it something akin to Condrieu from a very good vintage?

Produced in very limited quantity, Susana Balbo’s 2015 vintage Chardonnay was fermented and aged in medium-toast French oak barrels for 6 months. The result is an elegant and complex expression of one of the world’s finest grape varieties. Subtle citrus and vanilla notes on the nose, lean and delicate on the palate with exceptional balance and length.

Catalpa Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard located in Tupungato, Uco Valley in Mendoza – one of the best wine-growing regions in Argentina. It takes its name from an American tree that grows 10 to 12m high and has beautiful, aromatic white flowers. Bright red ruby in colour. Aromas of blueberry and gooseberry jam, with hints of caramel and chocolate. In the mouth, it is elegant and well-balanced, with smooth tannins and intense red fruit notes. Great with soft cheeses, poultry and lamb. The wine has an aging potential of 8 years.

Syrah is one of Mauricio Lorca's favourite grape varieties; he loves its fickle nature, the bold influence it can bring to a blend and, most of all, the song it sings flying solo. 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.
95% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Malbec 50%, Cabernet Franc 20%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Merlot 10% all co-fermeted, 30% of which in large old oak barrels, it's another beauty from the Michelini madhouse (Gerardo). Inky black purple colour; really forward and fresh on a nose redolent of black cherries and blackcurrants. Big and powerful but silky in texture and amazingly approchable for such a young wine. Gorgeous.

A lovely pale salmon pink colour and a fine florality, with hints of wild strawberry and cherry. It shows freshness and clarity, with natural acidity lifting the finish.

In each of the three ranges from this winery - Serbal, Catalpa and Atamisque - there is a blend, an assemblage. Catalpa Assemblage is comprised of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec in varying proportions depending on the vintage. 60% of this wine is aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels, 40% in stainless steel prior to blending and a further 6 months in bottle prior to release. Crafted in a fairly extravagant style this is a lovely, plump, velvet textured delight with clever use of oak in evidence, capable of developing very nicely for 8 - 10 years.

NOTE: THIS IS A MAGNUM (150cl)

Ripe dark fruit with soft tannins and a pleasingly smooth finish. Dangerously moreish.

Great for parties!

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.

This is the flag-bearing Malbec from Bodega Atamisque, a winery that has come from nowhere in recent years to gain real respect and admiration from its peers, and no wonder with wines like this on show. Winemaker Philippe Caraguel has triumphed with this wine, which is so good and consistently good from vintage to vintage, perhaps due in part to the vines being 100% owned and managed by Atamisque. We sell much more of this, not inexpensive Malbec, to the UK trade than we do many others at significantly lower prices. Excellent is the word.
