Altos las Hormigas COLONIA Las LIEBRES Mendoza Bonarda Argentina
Lovely vibrant colour that yields to a lifted, damsony fruit on the nose and a lively accessable character on the palate. The unoaked wine was fermented on the skins for 10 days in order to empahasise the vibrant fruit characters rather than the structure of the grape. (12 x 75 cl)
Ruca Malen Malbec Lujan de Cuyo Mendoza Argentina
This red is a blend of Malbec and a little Cabernet Sauvignon . The 10 months in oak adds weight and complexity to this blackfruited, richly concentrated Malbec. A deep dark red coloured wine with purple and violet tinges, it is showing an intense nose, with aromas of ripe plums, cherries, blueberries and dries figs. The floral notes of violets, red roses and liquorice provide this wine with the right touch of elegance, while the wood seems to be well integrated with spices such as vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate. Finally, the expressive body with notes of candied red fruits gives way to the well-balanced sweet tannins and its excellent acidity. Long, fruity and spicy finish this is a wine to enjoy. (6 x 75 cl)
