  2022 Grand Malbec, Piattelli Vineyards

  £2450

  A rich and inky Malbec full of aromas of blueberries, cedar and spice. Opulent and textured, with wonderful fruit concentration and beautifully integrated oak, through to a long, persistent finish.

  From high in the Andes surrounding Salta come Piattelli’s Cafayate wines, grown at an elevation of over 1,795 metres. The distinctively colourful Argentinian mountains are formed of many geological layers. The splendour of this area is the pure water and extreme thermal amplitudes. The diurnal temperature differences create longer ripening periods, which concentrate the flavours in the grapes, with the cooler evenings encouraging a balancing freshness. Additionally, the grapes develop thicker skins to cope with the intensity of the UV rays at this altitude, which further concentrates the flavours in the wine. This makes this not only one of the most beautiful but also one of the premier grape-growing regions in the world.

  2022 ‘The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree’ Malbec, Matias Riccitelli

  £2475

  Deep purple in colour, with beautiful aromas of wild dark fruits, vanilla and chocolate on the nose. This is a complex and rich Malbec with smooth ripe tannins and a long finish.

  The grapes are hand-picked from Matias Riccitelli’s vineyards. Half the grapes come from the Perdriel vineyard at 950 metres above sea level in the subregion of Lujan de Cuyo. Located at the banks of the Mendoza River, the rocky soil delivers a rich wine, with ripe fruit and smooth tannins. The other half comes from Gualtallary, which is situated at 1,400 metres altitude in the northern part of the Uco Valley. The vines here deliver fresh, spicy Malbec from calcareous soils. A green harvest is performed in December to concentrate the flavours in the berries. Both vineyards are influenced by diurnal temperature changes which encourages a long hang time, promoting concentrated flavours in the berries while retaining balancing acidity.

  2023 ‘Tinto de la Casa’, Matias Riccitelli

  £2495

  A complex and rich Malbec, with floral aromas, black pepper and toasty spice notes which are underpinned by a wealth of black fruit flavours. Opulent, with smooth tannins and balancing freshness through to a long, satisfying finish.

  This blend is the result of co-fermentation of two Malbec sites. 50% of the grapes come from Las Compuertas, which is situated at 1,100 metres above sea level. The soils are one-metre deep loamy clay with a rocky subsoil, which offer the vines excellent drainage. The remaining 50% comes from the premium viticultural area of Gualtallary, where the vines are planted at 1,400 metres above sea level on calcareous soils. The wines produced here have a great freshness and a discernible spicy character. The grapes grow thicker skins at high altitudes to protect themselves against the UV rays, resulting in rich, concentrated wines. The ripe fruit is balanced by the acidity naturally retained at this cooler altitude.

  2022 Malbec, El Enemigo

  £2495

  El Enemigo is the collaborative venture of Adrianna Catena, daughter of Nicolás Catena, and Alejandro Vigil, renowned Chief Winemaker at Bodega Catena Zapata. Located at the southern foothills of Mendoza’s impressive Andes range, aptly named Piedemonte al Sur, the estate sources fruit from vineyards planted as early as 1986, at elevations between 1,400 and 1,500 m above sea level. This high-altitude terroir, combined with calcareous, rocky, sandy-loam soils, creates ideal conditions for crafting Malbecs of yin-yang power and elegance.

  “El Enemigo”, Spanish for “The Enemy”, symbolises the internal battle every winemaker faces amid vineyard challenges and high-altitude conditions. It is also a reflection of the winemaking duo’s ambition to craft Argentine wines that rival Europe’s finest. The project is a modern homage to Argentine heritage, blending Catena’s historical legacy with Vigil’s winemaking mastery.

  In the glass, the 2022 Malbec shines with bright purple hues. The aromatics combine ripe black cherry, plum, and darker berry fruit, layered with herbal notes of thyme and a touch of violet. On the palate, it is rich, fluid, and impeccably balanced, plush yet structured. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity support flavours of blackberry, black cherry, baking spice, and gently savoury earth. The finish is long, refined, and satisfying, with an elegant tannic grip.
