Argentine Wine

This is high altitude Chardonnay grown in the Tunuyan vineyards in Mendoza’s Uco Valley – 50% isfermented and aged in French oak barriques which lends a hefty creaminess to the citrus and stoneyminerality. It’s flipping good Chardonnay frankly

A nose redolent with plum, damson and black cherry fruit. The palate is mid weight with smooth, soft tannins and a clean acidity. The finish shows berry fruit and a hint of spice.

Bodega Los Haroldos

This is a bit of an eyebrow raising red (ish) wine from Argentina’s Uco Valley. 50% of the blend is the pale skinned Criolla Grande with the balance being Moscatel Rose, Torrontes and Pedro Gimenez. Think of it more as a rose with bright rose petal and lychee aromas to the fore. The youthful Paso a Paso team describe their work as the conjunction of art, adrenaline and contemplation which you could easily dismiss as pretentious bull were it not for the way that this scores on the drinkability stakes. It may not be for everyone but serve it with seafood or as an aperitif and I think you might warm to it.

Hermandad Chardonnay shows a pale yellow colour with greenish highlights. The nose is concentrated and intense with citrus, pineapple and green apple aromas, interwoven with vanilla notes from the oak and some mineral characters from the soil. With a great concentration and elegance, on the palate the first impact is ripe, well balanced by the natural acidity, with rich white fruits and toast bread, and light notes of vanilla. Its finish is long and persistent

Bodega Los Haroldos

A full bodied, rich wine with ripe black fruits flavours supported by rich cherries and juicy plums, there are also hints of violets and vanilla, great texture and long finish.

Falasco Wines

Pure strawberry and blueberry fruit abound on the enticing nose. The palate is complex and layered with cinnamon, cherry tobacco and plum fruits. Finely structured tannins provide texture whilst a clean acidity maintains freshness. The finish is long and displays blueberry pancakes, sweet smoke and dark fruit.

Bodega Los Haroldos

Deep purple with shades of violet. Complex aromas of red fruits. Appealing notes of chocolate, coffee and tobacco from 6 months maturation in oak casks. Well balanced with intense red fruits in the mouth ripe tannins and a long finish.

Bodega Los Haroldos

Deep black fruit, raisins and toast. This is a very well structured wine with firm tannins and refreshing acidity, toasty cedar notes mingle well with bramble fruit and dark cherries. A long and complex finish.

Los Haroldos

A great Argentinian Malbec offering aromas of red fruits and plums alongside floral and subtle, toasty vanilla notes; medium bodied in the mouth, the style here is soft, juicy and very well balanced with delicious red and dark berried fruits to the fore.

A Bordeaux inspired blend, ripe blackberry fruit, damson and warming spice with subtle flavours of pencil lead, dark chocolate, cardamom and black pepper.

The final blend is 20% of each grape variety taken from 3 different vintages, it is then aged in French oak for 12 months

Tim Atkin's Argentinian White wine of the year, beautifully elegant, slightly understated White Bordeaux style. Texturally rich yet with really fine minerality, this is seriously classy

Porvenir de Cafayate is one of Salta's premium, high altitude wine producers. This small, family-owned winery in Cafayate, specialises in Torrontes, Malbec, Tannat and red blends from 45-50 year old vineyards which are amongst the highest in the world at 1900m asl and surrounded by 20ft, 200+ year old monster cacti. Colour in the reds here is profound due to the exposure to prolonged mountain sunlight, with soft tannins thanks in part to the extreme diurnal temperature differences... some mornings the cacti are thick with frost but within a few hours temperatures soar to the mid/high 20s! This is a light, juicy style of Garnacha, part carbonic maceration and taken off its skins towards the end of fermentation to preserve its freshness.

100% Friulano. Fresh aromas of lime and herbs on the nose with nut kernel; a creamy and textural palate which shows lovely refreshment and complexity and a touch of oak on the finish.

A co-fermentation of Malbec and Torrontes producing a very light, almost rose like wine.

Pale red with pink flashes, great impact on the nose, very fresh and fruity aromas reminiscent of fresh strawberries, raspberries, cherries, combined with a soft touch of floral notes from Torrontés which complete the profile of this wine. Good natural acidity that gives it a very particular freshness, combined with soft and juicy Malbec tannins. Fresh and easy to drink.

Golden yellow of great intensity with orange tones typical of its production. It is a wine that stands out for its floral aromas. It presents aromas of tropical white fruits, closes with aromas of orange peel. Its acidity is refreshing and bold, medium intensity, long and good acidity and freshness.

Sulfites are not added. Natural yeasts are used and the wine is bottled unfiltered. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and in contact with their skins, post-fermentation maceration for 45 days.
