In its youth this is a hefty, muscular beast that gradually takes on an increasingly silky texture as time passes in bottle. Lots of profound dark fruit up front with notes of assorted spice, mint, black pepper and dark chocolate on the nose. The use of oak is judicious and handsome, resulting in a really impressive, elegant wine showing much complexity and finesse.

Cherry-red in color, with aromas of black fruit such as blackberries and plums, smooth ailky tannins on the palate. Serve at 16°-18°C (61°-64°F)

High up in the Andes in Uco Valley is Finca el Origen, a boutique winery producing expressive estate wines from ancient soils full of sea fossils.  From their estate in Vista Flores this malbec is a beauty! An excellent wine that demonstrates the essence of Uco Valley Malbec. Aromatic complexity—a  lovely combination of pure, dark fruit and fragrant herbal aromas of thyme, rosemary and lavender. Refreshing and firm, with solid tannins and a bright core of red fruit.

Of a very elegant pale yellow this Albariño has a fresh and vibrant nose that reminds us of tropical fruit with subtle citrus and floral notes. In the mouth, we find a round and fresh body with a saline and mineral combination that provide a marked notion of terroir.

Deep color, with a brilliant purple rim. An intense nose, with a fine, floral perfume alongside the ripe red fruit. There are hints of undergrowth, graphite and smoked walnut too. The palate is rich and mouth filling, with smooth tannins that support the wine well. On the finish, alongside the floral and fruit flavors, mineral complexity lingers.

This 100% Tannat is from the estate vineyard in the Atlántida region of Canelones . The nose is layered with primary notes of blackberry, blueberry, and plum all coated in powdered white sugar, clove, and baking spices. The palate shows hints of crushed dry leaves and leather with a core of blackberry and firm tannins that lead to a long finish. A rich, full bodied Tannat that would be great with any grilled meats!

With our usual earlier pick date, the 2021 retained freshness and acidity, allowing the spice, as well as a bit of Cahors earthiness to show itself. Our goal is to express the vintage and to achieve elemental balance within all the components. Thereby showing the complexity within Malbec to match a wide range of foods from meat dishes to pastas, and Mediterranean fare.

A very good example of a coastal sauvignon, this one comes from the San Antonio Valley, from vineyards about 15 miles from the Pacific. It has intense herbal aromas and a bit of white fruit and floral tones. It's powerful in acidity, with a creamy, agile body. A perfect companion for any fish and shellfish menu.

In its first aromatic expression, this red wine reveals itself as an earth wine, with elegant aromas reminiscent of herbs and wet mud, hints of thyme, red and black fruits, and notes of jam. Clear and clean-tasting, fresh and direct mouth attack; round, yet with nerve.

Sourced from vines among Clos de Luz’s oldest vineyards, which makes them some of the oldest Malbec vines in Chile. Hand harvested in small crates for strict fruit selection. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, with pigeage every 2 days. Aged for 10-12 months in 225L and 300L French oak of different ages.

Bright yellow color with green reflections. Pleasant development of melon, pineapple and apricots aromas along with a delicate note of mandarin orange. On the palate is wide, fresh and full of fruit.

Altos Las Hormigas was founded in 1995 by Alberto Antonini, renowned Italian winemaker, and Antonio Morescalchi, moved by the potential of Malbec. The team is completed by Atilio Pagli, the Chilean Pedro Parra, soil specialist, and Fede Gambetta, today in charge of the day to day. The incessant fight against ants in organic vineyards gives rise to the name.
