A wine its creator Ruben Arroyo is rightly proud of, Argana's Cabernet Sauvignon is a sweet and ripe affair – ruby red and with intense violet tones. On the nose it's a vibrant, peppery Cabernet Sauvignon, with notes of plum, oak, and vanilla. While on the tongue there are the long-finishing flavours of fruits and wood.

A classic Argentinian Malbec, with firm red wine with very intense violet tones. Argana's Malbec has a fruity aroma of rich dark berries, typical of the country's most famous grape. 

Balanced tannins and a lovely long finish make this a Malbec to savour. An intense ruby red wine contains layers of vanilla, red fruits, and nougat.

A strong, clean wine with intense plum and cassis notes, vanilla, and just a hint of eucalyptus, it begs to be quaffed. Slightly sweeter than other Malbecs, it is full-bodied, elegant, and has a delightfully long-lasting finish.

A delightful blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. On the nose there are strong scents of liquorice and ripe autumnal berries. Clean on the palette and with a smooth finish, this is a wine that's even more than the sum of its considerable parts. We often cite the Gran Corte as a wine to impress guests at a dinner party, and fingers crossed that chance to impress may well be the case later this year, so pick up a couple of bottles now. 

The finest Malbec from Finca Don Carlos, the Calathus Gran Reserve Malbec 2013 has an aroma of ripe summer and autumnal fruits, and on the tongue there's the classic Malbec trifecta of liquorice, cassis, and vanilla, all finished by soft, rounded tannins. Velvet in a glass, and one of our personal favourites.

Finca Don Carlos is incredibly proud of their Malbec, and those who've already sampled it know why.

There are the classic velvety aromas of ripe red fruits and plums, while on the tongue the familiar soft, rounded tannins indicative of a great Malbec, and the mouth-filling flavour of succulent autumn berries.

As the nights draw in it's the ideal accompaniment to those hearty dishes and warm hearths.

*ONLY 24 BOTTLES LEFT IN STOCK* - Once it's gone, it's gone! 

On the nose there are strong aromas of strawberry and blackcurrant, delicate notes of tobacco, and the barest hints of oak. In the mouth there are smooth, strong flavours of cassis and liquorice, impressively soft tannins, and a long pleasant finish on the tongue. Wonderful drink now, it can also be cellared for 3-5 years to improve even further with age. 
 

A firm favourite with our customers and those fortunate enough to have experienced Carmelo's generous hospitality first-hand. A full-bodied wine with real finesse, scents of red and green peppers and woodsmoke continue to unfold on the tongue. Beautifully-rounded, and with some of the smoothest tannins you'll taste this side of the Equator, it's not as fruity as it's European counterparts, but that works in its favour. This is a truly singular wine.

Very much the 'El Jefe' of Carmelo Patti's wines, his Gran Assemblage is the bottled embodiment of his decades of skill as a winemaker: a mixture of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 20% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc carefully selected from the finest quality grapes by Carmelo himself. 

It's then aged in French oak for 12 months, giving it strong tannins and the classic green pepper and smoky notes indicative of Carmelo Patti's wines, but also the finesse and tannic structure of a fine Bordeaux. The result? Imagine if Margaux mastered the Argentine Tango in your mouth...

On the nose there are the expressive aromas of ripe hedgerow fruits, and hints of smoke. On the tongue it's surprisingly smooth, with a strong vanilla flavour that brings an almost creamy quality to the wine.

A smashing drink as an aperitif or an excellent accompaniment to a light supper, the Kilhix Pinot Noir 2015 is a wine that shows Mendoza does more than just Malbec, and does so extremely well. 

From the area of Cafayate in the province of Salta comes this fine wine from Bodega El Transito. A blend of Malbec, Tannat, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is an intensely dark wine with a complex depth of flavour to match.

Another stunning wine from Andrés Nanni and the team at Bodega El Transito.

(The Pietro Marini brand takes its name from one of Andrés' ancestors who emigrated to Argentina from Italy.)

Shaped by the high altitude and dry climate of the Cafayate vineyards, El Transito has produced a wine that manages that rare feat of tasting vibrant and fresh while also being rich and velvety smooth.

Another extremely popular wine from our El Transito collection.

Characterised by its intense red colour that truly catches the eye, spiced fruits and red peppers fill the mouth, while the Syrah portion of the blend brings strong tannins and a smooth roundness. Oak ageing achieves a greater complexity. 

Slightly woody on the nose, El Transito has created a wine with with a subtle flavour that seasoned Malbec drinkers will appreciate and find refreshingly new. As well as the usual notes of  vanilla and blackberry, there's a hint of plums, and a vaguely mineral flavour present which marks it out from the rest of the crowd

El Transito's Malbec Rosado is a Rosé that stands out from its counterparts on other continents and is a perfect summer's drink, especially as an aperitif on a warm evening. On the nose there are delicate aromas of rose petals, vanilla custard, and a strong strawberry note that continues on the tongue. Remarkably refreshing in the mouth, there are flavours of strawberry, hints of mango and honey, and a clean, crisp finish with notes of lemon peel.

A unique wine in so many ways.

On the nose there's cassis, figs, and prunes. In the mouth it displays an intensity and sweetness that intermingles with the dark fruit without ever feeling cloying. A woody finish adds finesse to a wine that will, on first sip, have you coming back for more. We recommend it as a winter aperitif or for drinking on a summer afternoon. 

El Transito's Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon Roble is a supremely quaffable blend of 70% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that results in a wine with an exceptionally smooth finish. A great bottle that's certain to outshine those other offerings at the first barbeques and garden get-togethers of the year.

Born from the high, dry terroir of the Calchaqui Valley, 1750 metres above sea level, this blend has also picked up a light coffee flavour from its oak ageing.

One of the most joyous wines in our range. On the nose there are scents of ripe autumnal berries and just a hint of warm winter spices. On the tongue it's remarkably smooth, with a fresh flavour of plum jam and red fruits, and a hint of liquorice in its finish. This is the perfect accompaniment to beef dishes, or for simply savouring as you sit by a roaring fire. 
 

A magnificently rounded wine, the Vicien Bonarda Reserve of 2014 fills the mouth with flavours of ripe red & black fruits, Earl Grey tea, and vanilla. It's full-bodied yet is fresh on the palette, with a smooth and mellow finish that lingers pleasantly on the tongue.

A rich, full-bodied affair which truly does fill the mouth with silky smooth tannins and the flavours of firm red fruits, coffee, and wood. This wine from the Cabernet de los Andes winery is a sensation which continues on the tongue long after the first sip and will have you coming back for more. 

Deep violet in colour, it has on the nose an aroma of mixed red and black fruits, and the leathery quality typical of a great Syrah. In the mouth it is far more full-bodied than expected, and carries a great balance between the body of the wine and the sharpness of the fruit notes.
