Pour this and you get a glassful of plush, dark fruit. Plum and blackberry, a little violet, smooth right through with just enough freshness so it never goes heavy. It's dry, it's organic, and it's the kind of red that makes a Tuesday feel like an occasion. Grabbing a slab of nyama choma or just unwinding after a long one? This is your easy yes. We'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
First sniff is all ripe plum and blackberry, with a little floral lift of violet and a whisper of spice from its time in French oak. On the palate it's concentrated and juicy, dark fruit front and centre, with a fresh streak of acidity keeping it lively and tannins that are soft, not grippy. Grown up at 1,200m in the Andes foothills, which is why it tastes deep and bright at the same time. Dry finish, nothing sweet about it, just smooth dark-fruit goodness that lingers.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Back in the 90s, French winemaker Jean Bousquet went looking for the perfect spot and fell for a wild, high corner of Mendoza called Gualtallary, in Argentina's Uco Valley. Everyone told him he was mad to plant that high up in the Andes foothills. He did it anyway, and went fully organic from the start. That altitude, around 1,200m, is the secret: cool nights, intense sun, fruit that ripens slow and keeps its freshness. Hand-harvested, no synthetic chemicals, done properly.
