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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

From one of Argentina's foremost winemakers, Susanna Balbo leads the field with this superbly crafted malbec. Terrific quality of fruit, with a light touch of oak. Classy.

From a high quality, old vine block in higher Agrelo, this is a serious expression of Malbec which is characterised by its rocky terroir and small batch wine making. Award winning Malbec from Argentinean specialists of this native grape. High altitude, single vineyard quality that is truly of place.

Tamblyn is named after the Willson family's ancestors who migrated to Australia from Cornwall.

Deep purplish in colour,with aromas of cherry and strawberry blended with notes of tobacco,cedar and rosemary. Juicy on the palate with sweet ripe tannins. Sourced entirely from organic grapes. A Chilean classic and utterly delicious.

Rich, moreish Malbec from the Languedoc region.

A rich, intense, spicy medium-bodied red wine from Cahors. Blackcurrant, blackberry and prune notes on the nose and the palate with a vanilla end note. Pairs well with red meat, game and soft cheeses.

The original Malbec! The popularity of Argentinian Malbec owes much to its French relatives!

The Navigator is a stylish Hawke’s Bay blend that has charted our way, a wine with a strong character and a strong following.

The Ernie Els Signature has a plum red with a thin red rim.

The aroma of the Ernie Els Signature is fruit driven with combination of the black fruits plum, cherries and blackberries.

The fruitcake aromas are rounded off by a subtle oak spice to the finish.
There are also distinctive earthy undertones to this claret.

The deep crimson-coloured 2006 Quinta Sardonia gives up an aromatic array of cedar, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry. Savoury and supple on the palate, it has enough underlying structure to evolve for 2-3 years and should be at its best from 2012 to 2026.
