Sale!Tasted this with the sole importer and was blown away. Such a complex, earthy and subtle... yet powerful Malbec, from the tiny Agrelo region, 20 miles south of Mendoza. Home to some of Argentina's most famous wine estates. Agrelo's terroir is considered to be some of the best for the production of big, complex red wines made from the Malbec grape. If you like Malbec this is for you. Similarly if you like Riojas & Bordeaux wines that have been aged to perfection and are showing that extra class and complexity. This wine is drinking beautifully right now but will keep for a further 2-3 years.

Bold and well-structured red blend from the Cachapoal Valley in Chile. This wine uses 3 separate vinification processes to bring out the character of each grape. Great with beef or venison. A smooth and inky purple Red to be enjoyed any time.
