Argentina has come to be known as the home of Malbec, and it's true this French export has done spectacularly well there, but we've also enjoyed Argentine Shiraz, Bonarda and smooth, full-bodied blends too.

Finca Agostino, Agostino Inicio Malbec, Mendoza
Regular price €20.00/
Tax included.
Argentina's beef consumption is about 55kg per person per year. Could this rich, smooth Mendoza Malbec be the reason why?
This is a fine, ripe, velvety Malbec with smooth dark fruit character and a long finish. It's tasty on its own, and makes a special
impact when you match it with the best steak or a really good barbecue.
It's a perfect match for beef and other roast meats, but the layers of sumptuous red and black fruit flavour are revealed alongside all kinds of savoury food from tapas to nut roast and beyond.
It's a winter warmer, a summertime treat when the coals are glowing, and decidedly delicious at all times in between.

Finca Agostino Agostino Finca Malbec, Mendoza
Regular price €25.00/
Tax included.
The third tier, estate wine of Finca Agostino. Shapely, generous Malbec dressed in haute couture.
Blended from the grapes of two areas, this is a premium, reserva-grade Malbec, bursting with cherry and blueberry fruit tinged with vanilla and tobacco from ten months' aging in French oak.
The Maipú grapes are from the Barrancas sub-zone, which is a little warmer than its surroundings and yields fruit with darker, softer character. The other 50% of the blend comes from the prestigious high-altitude Uco Valley, which typically gives wines with concentration and refinement in equal measure, and dark, dry undertones.
This is another polished, layered example of just how much wine you get for your money from South America when you trade up a little.

Finca Agostino, Uma Malbec, Mendoza
Regular price €16.00/
Tax included.
Tremendous value from Argentina: fresh, ripe, completely seductive Mendoza Malbec.
We are very excited to have found this affordable Malbec from the Maipú vineyards of Finca Agostino in Mendoza.
There's plenty of aromatic interest, with redcurrant and richer cherry and plum notes, and the typical red fruit flavours of the grape in its youth follow through on the palate with some savoury, cedary hints that will have you reaching for the recipe books.At this price it's an obvious choice for any savoury meal, but there's enough interest and depth to match a good steak and any other kind of roast or grilled meat.
A must in any mixed case of reds you might be planning!

Finca Agostino, Agostino Inicio Cabernet Franc, Mendoza
Regular price €20.00 Sale price €17.00 Save €3.00/
Tax included.
Cabernet Franc from Argentina: firm, full and fruity.
You may know Cabernet Franc as a blending grape in Bordeaux, or as a more significant component of the reds you're likely to find in French supermarkets further north. It is of course one of the stars of the Loire Valley, but in a modest vintage its vegetal character can limit its appeal.
The ideal wine-growing conditions of Mendoza's Maipú region allow the grapes to ripen fully and emphasize a richer, darker side in the resulting wine. There's a Cabernet-family blackcurrant depth to the flavours, but at the same time a herby, spicy edge, that make this a great choice with lamb and pork—try the Inicio Malbec with your steak!
If you'd like to read more about how the newcomer fits in with Malbec, here's a recent article by Amanda Barnes for the South American Wine Guide.
