Browse by Region in Argentina - Mendoza
This unfamiliar region accounts for around two-thirds of the wine produced in Argentina, which as the world’s fifth biggest wine producer makes it quite a substantial player on the quiet. While for a long time the bulk of this production was of poor quality and consumed domestically, the winds of change are now blowing through this vast country. The greatest problem they face is the economic instability of the country but this has forced winemakers to look for an international market, the result being a necessary hike in quality. Mendoza has led the way in this revolution with many of the country’s top wineries practicing their craft here. The conditions here are extremely favourable for vine growing, with hot sun, poor soil and inventive irrigation systems that channel the Andean water down from the snowy peaks. Indigenous varieties are of particular interest; red grapes Malbec and Bonarda along with the white Torrontes are ones to look out for. With huge amounts of foreign investment taking place, this is an area to watch.

No myth or legend here. Instead, a real big beast of a wine from the Mendoza Valley, Argentina. Deep, brooding and dark. Big fruit, big spice, big flavours.

From Finca Mangato vines in El Paral, Tupungato at 1,200 metres above sea level, planted on shallow sandy-loam soils, this delicious blend bears testament to Estela’s eye for detail and insistence on absolute precision. A blend of 70% Cabernet Franc with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Intriguingly, 70% of the Cab Sauv parcel is co-fermented with the Cab Franc, and the remaining 30% of Cab Sauv is aged for 9 months in second use French oak. Still with us? There is a very strong sense here that nothing is left to chance and the results are fabulous. The nose screams neither varietal on its own but, rather, offers up an holistic approach to blending as can be seen in Estela’s other wines. The effect is harmonious throughout from notes of hibiscus flowers and spice on the nose through to plump cassis and juicy redcurrant in the mouth. A superbly crafted blend representing fantastic value for money.

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, this is another classic entry into our Recoleta range.
Wonderfully delicious on its own, but pairs really well with lean meats, red meats and dishes with creamy sauces.

A real lovely alternative to an Argentinian Malbec. This big hitting red is smooth, soft and packing bucket loads of red fruits and spice. One for you Cotes-du-Rhone lovers! Wonderful notes of roses and graphite on the nose. A palate full of fine red fruit character with lovely firm tannins and long, pepper and spice-laden finish.
