Argentina was known in the past for quantity rather than quality, and was ranked as the world’s fourth largest producer of wine.
Quality, though, has risen at an impressive speed and today it is easy to find some really great bargains from this characterful country of high mountain vineyards.
Try this selection of mouthwatering wines to see exactly how good Argentina’s wines are.
Discounted case price £67. Includes three bottles of each of the following four wines:
Santa Rosa Estate Chenin-Torrontes 2007, Zuccardi
Loads of up front fruit on the palate here, with the chenin blanc grape shining through backed up by the more aromatic torrontes which gives the wine an additional lift — floral and fruit-packed.
La Linda Viognier 2007, Luigi Bosca
A delightfully ripe style from Luigi Bosca, this wine has wonderful intensity with aromas of peaches and ripe apricots and a long aromatic finish.
Vida Organica Sangiovese/Bonarda 2007, Zuccardi
José Zuccardi has always believed in working with nature, and this organic wine is brimming with excellent spicy ripe redcurrant fruit with a subtle hint of floral scent. Perfect with casserole dishes.
La Linda Malbec 2006, Luigi Bosca
Argentina’s flagship variety is perfectly showcased here with this perfect example from Luigi Bosca that is superbly deep and rich with warm cherry and spice flavours. The perfect match with meat, especially beef.
