ARGIE BARGY
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.
MALBEC
Everyone's favourite grape variety, these days, seems to be Malbec. It's easy to see why, especially as the Argentinians have crafted a bright bold and flavoursome style out of the grape variety that Bordeaux forgot. In this case you will find a very typical Mendoza Malbec, a chunky Malbec Cabernet blend from master wine maker Nicolas Catena aswell as his more subtle take on pure Malbec. Whilst Bordeaux may have (mostly) cast off Malbec, it still hangs on in the Cahors region of South West France where Pascal Verhaeghe makes some cracking examples, here also included.
Vin de France France
"From an estate in the Cahors region but sold as 'Vin de France'. Simple but perfect in its way, very black and glossy and fresh and full. The nose is generous, the palate ample and soft with just enough of a kicker of substance to make it juicy with blackberry and blackcurrant, and still easy to have another glass."
Mendoza Argentina
"Tasted May 2011. Pure with a good dry note on the end – very good integrity – not too sweet. Just very pure and well made. Well done – very appetising! Underpriced? VGV. When to drink : 2011 to 2014."
