Lea & Sandeman review
Chacra's newest release is this beautifully crafted Merlot, named after the village of Mainqué where the Chacra vineyards are planted. These vines are planted alongside the 1955 Pinot Noir vineyard, and undergo exactly the same biodynamic care and attention.
Mixed Cases
The odd territorial dispute or football match aside, we seem to like things from the Argentine. From Ricky Villa to the Tango, Eva Peron to corned beef, if it left the dockside in Buenos Aires it'll find a welcoming home in dear old Albion. And nothing finds a good home here more enthusiastically than Argentinean wine. Obviously, we're very much into Malbec here but, as this case proves, there's more to the story than that.
