Wines of Argentina

Argentina has for a long time been known for its generous, gutsy reds, but now you can add a plethora of other adjectives, including supple, elegant, concentrated and fine. They really have come an extremely long way. What they have achieved with the Malbec grape, in terms of both its notoriety and the sheer level of flavour concentration, is remarkable. Indeed, it is Malbec`s robust brambly quality they favour at home in Argentina with their rich, succulent meats, and especially with beef. Much more so than Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo and any of the other emerging styles, though Malbec as a blend with Bonarda or Corvina is catching on.   Some good whites are being produced there too, fairly full-bodied Chardonnays and full-flavoured Sauvignon Blancs.  They have become increasingly popular in Argentina as the quality has improved, and they will do much the same job for food as their European equivalents.  Right now wines from Argentina represent some of the best value wines available in our shops.
