Argentina
While there may be some sabre-rattling going on in political circles over certain islands, the wine communities of Mendoza and surrounding areas are very keen to keep producing wines for us. And what stunning wines they are making. Malbec is now being recognised as a world-class variety, and you'll find here rich, smoky, beefy Malbecs backed up by dense, juicy Bonarda and Merlot, to say nothing of the spicy, sherbety delights of Viognier and Torrontés in the whites. With all that Latin blood from the early settlers, it’s not very surprising that the Argentinians get a lot of flavour and passion into their wines, making the range one of the most exciting we have.
