Argentina
The Argentine wine industry is now the fifth largest in the world due in recent years to a massive expansion in vineyard area and large scale investment in modern winemaking techniques, that said Argentina's wine revolution is only just beginning.
This country is truly a wine maker's paradise. The star red grape is the truly sumptuous Malbec with its full-bodied, juicy, black-fruit flavours. To me, it's the perfect food-friendly wine; all the Malbecs below are frequent visitors to my dinner table!
| Tesoro de los Andes Malbec Bonarda |
£6.49
Tesoro de los Andes Malbec Bonarda - £6.49 - The Argentinians know how to make great everyday drinking wine. This favourite is enticing and warm, with mixed spice and rich bramble fruit on the nose. On the palate the wine shows a darker fruit character with more savoury overtones, generous and full with a soft rounded finish. |
