Argentina

Not just known for its footballing talent, there has been a massive explosion in popularity for Argentinian Malbec in recent years, and without doubt this has carried the perception of Argentina as a recognisable wine-producing country to the wine consumer. Rich and spicy reds are the order of the day in Argentina, often produced on the lower hillsides of the snowy Andes. It’s the slopes in the Mendoza province, with their deep alluvial soils brought down by rivers from the Andes, that produce stunning wines including Malbec which is now recognised as a world-class variety. These smoky, beefy Malbecs are backed up by dense, juicy Merlots and Bonardas, 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 this range one of the most exciting we have!
