Tasting Notes

From vines 110 years old! Great value stuff from centenarian vines high up in Lujan de Cuyo, 1000 metres above sea level. Svelte and polished, with lots of violets and bright fruit on the nose backed up by a savoury-herbal undercurrent - blueberries, and bacon, raspberry coulis, with a gentle bitter, almost Amaro like, with a silken and seamless palate. 6 months in French oak make for a really, classy and smooth Malbec.

More Info

Woe betide the wine merchant that ignores a tip from Jancis Robinson MW. It was her that first pointed us in the direction of Belasco de Baquedano with their cracking AR Guentota Malbec. It was then made by Bertrand Bourdil, the former winemaker at Mouton-Rothschild and co-founder of Opus One. Their wines are far from your average Malbecs down the local pub: making the most of their high elevation and old vines, the style highlights the savoury notes of the grape and draws out a more sinewy character than is usually found in these parts.
