About the wine
Stunning Malbec from one of Mendozas best vineyards
-
There’s no question you’re spoilt for choice for Malbec in Mendoza but finding the best takes some insider knowledge...enter Sebastian San Martin!
-
He describes this vineyard as ‘one of the best I have come across in Mendoza’ - thanks to the microclimate which means the grapes have matured nice and slowly. He put that top notch juice into the best barrels he could find and left them there to age to perfection.
-
The result is a rich, complex wine. On the nose there is red fruit, violets and a soft touch of spices, with hints of vanilla, tobacco and chocolate. It’s so good a regular sized bottle just wouldn’t do, so we brought out the magnums!

Food match
French or Italian food. You can combine this wine with a big variety of foods, but I recommend this wine for a very special dinner, with sophisticated food, rich in flavours and textures like this wine. Plum glazed turkey accompanied with apple puree, a mushroom risotto or ratatouille.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sebastian San Martin
- Sebastián San Martín is a name you probably haven’t heard before. But we can bet you have tasted one of his wines. He’s worked for some of the biggest wineries in Argentina like Francois Lurton and Argento, learning top tips from some of the world’s best consultant winemakers along the way.
- After years of being the guy behind the label, Sebastián is thrilled to finally see his name on the bottle. He’s using Angel funding to source grapes from small, family-run vineyards - to show you the ’real’ Malbec. If you’ve only ever drunk mass-produced Malbec that’s been oaked to within an inch of its life, his wines will be a revelation.
- Sebastián says “I’m so enthusiastic. I have so many things in my head about what we can do. There are many things to be discovered in Argentina, it’s a very special place. To have the chance to show these special grapes and places and history at a valuable price is an honour” - the honour is all ours Sebastián.
