Despite the price we sell a lot of this wine: it’s always magnificent, and the latest vintage has won a Gold medal in the Wines of Argentina awards early in 2010. Perfume of crushed blackberries, raspberries and cherries. Beautifully managed oak just caresses the smooth, lush red fruit. Superb. Now-2015

Product Code: BRE308

Walter Bressia, now in his fifties, has experience as winemaker and consultant oenologue for a number of Argentine estates. In 2003 he decided he wanted to create his own wines, ‘Vinos de Autor’, on a European style, small scale family model, and now a small but smart cellar has been constructed. Grapes are sourced in part from his own 5 hectares of vineyards and part from local parcels, in the superb Monteagrelo area near Mendoza. Here, at around 950m of altitude, Malbec thrives. Walter’s wines follow a European model in their refinement, moderate alcohol and complexity.
