Our ambition at Taste Argentina is to offer consumers in the UK the widest and most exciting selection of Argentinian wine online...and we definitely feel like we’re getting there! We now have over 115 wines in our portfolio from over 30 producers spanning the length and breadth of Argentina. 

What a fab few days we've had in London! A cracking tasting with Las Bodegas, so we now have 27 new wines to add to our portfolio. There's definitely some cult wines in there from Michelini and Ver Sacrum, plus some fabulous new whites, sparkling and rose wines. 

In Tim Atkin’s 2019 Special Report on Argentina he talks about the quality of Argentinian whites and how they’re improving with every vintage, with those at their best up there with Chilean whites. 

As the sun sets on another year, we'd like to raise a toast to our customers, suppliers and our very hard working producers. It's been a fantastic first quarter for Taste Argentina and we're really excited about 2020.

Sian's our finance guru. And as well as loving numbers, she LOVES a drop of fizz! She's chosen the Zuccardi Blanc de Blancs for Christmas morning, but will she share it??!! It's a real gem of a sparkler, made just like Champagne. It's 100% Chardonnay from high altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, Mendoza.

Such a lovely couple of days in Manchester with the Three Wine Men team, Oz Clarke, Olly Smith, Tom Surgey and Susy Atkins! And great to meet so many enthusiastic customers.

Celebrating the engagement of Sarah and Scott last night so I obviously had to request a photo of the happy couple with my 5 December wine choice. I did let them keep it, but enjoyed a glass myself too 😜 We love this organic sparkler from Familia Zuccardi 🥂

Susana’s Late Harvest Malbec is a naturally sweet red that’s just heaven with chocolate puds. Late Harvest simply means the grapes have been left to raisin on the vine, producing a delicious sweet red which is soft and balanced.

In case I haven’t mentioned it before, I absolutely love this wine! It’s a bit special, so exactly the sort of white you need in your fridge on 25 December. From 50 year old Semillon vines in Patagonia, Matias Riccitelli has produced a stunning Semillon which is rich and complex, a real showcase of what Semillon is capable of.

Last night’s tipple (from Howard) is our 2nd December wine choice. He’s serving up a little chicken casserole with dumplings and I’m sure the Ben Marco Pinot Noir would have matched perfectly. And that is a 750ml bottle, I think they’re just giant glasses 😆

Happy 1st December! Surely it’s time to start planning your Christmas wines? We thought we’d help out by picking 24 wines, across various styles and price points, which we think would work well with Christmas lunch 😋

This cracking Semillon is made from vines that were forgotten about for over 50 years. Then Matias Riccitelli came along and worked his magic. These old Semillon vines are located in Rio Negro, Patagonia. Sun exposure is fairly intense at this latitude but nights are cool, allowing the grapes to develop rich varietal characteristics while retaining balancing acidity.

Talk about a show stopper...I wish I'd captured the reactions to the Susana Balbo Late Harvest Malbec with the Sam Joseph 70% dark chocolate at the Wine Gang's Winter Festival!

Excited to welcome Zuccardi's Concreto Malbec 2018 to the portfolio! As the name suggests, Concreto has been aged in Zuccardi's concrete eggs, allowing gentle maturation and plenty of mineral character. 

If I was a poet, sunrise would definitely be my inspiration (which is why I was out in my dressing gown and wellies taking this picture at 6.45am on a Saturday!)

While the UK is busy carving pumpkins, planning bonfire celebrations and generally settling into Autumn, Spring has arrived in Argentina. It's a hugely important time of year for producers as vineyard success depends on several things that happen in the Spring.

Hello Pablo! Thank you for introducing Familia Falasco Wines and the Chacabuco Malbec to our followers in the UK. One of our most popular reds! It's super soft and juicy with loads of red fruit and fine tannins. Click through to watch the video...

Over the summer, Rachael had the opportunity to meet Karim, winemaker and owner of Bodega Altocedro and Bodega Alandes. It's a nice little insight into his winery and his outlook on the Argentinian wine industry...

We are two experienced wine professionals with a tremendous passion for outstanding wines – particularly of course those from Argentina! READ FULL ARTICLE

Malbec is certainly a world-class grape now, and the passion, patience and pride the Argentinian growers put into their Malbec really is changing the face of this once side-lined grape.

Look out for our tasty recipe cards in every box of wine...this month we've got yummy Empanadas.

Argentina is an incredibly diverse and interesting place to make wine. Different years present different challenges, which is what makes wine so fascinating. Here’s a brief overview of the last six years…
