Mil Historias | Bodegas Altolandon | Malbec | Manchuela | Spain
Red Wine | 14% | Vegan, Organic, Biodynamic
Becky Hewes
Becky Says
Owner & winemaker, Rosalia Molina, makes organic wines in one of Spain’s highest altitude wineries. Her mission is to make wines that express the typicity of DO Manchuela: the vineyard, the altitude and the varieties planted.
This is a climate on the edge of what is possible: at 1,100 metres above sea level, the grapes experience a large diurnal range that encourages even ripening and helps to retain natural acidity. Rosalia’s vineyards are certified organic, she uses only natural fertilisers, promoting biodiversity by welcoming chickens, sheep and pigs from local farms to roam the vineyards freely. Grapes are hand harvested and vinified as naturally as possible with native yeasts and little other intervention. The wines are then aged in clay amphora and some in French oak to give texture and complexity.
Bright ruby to dark purple in colour, it promises plenty of power. The nose is complex with powerful aromas of blackberry and blueberry with, rose, rosemary, violets and floral notes as well as a hint of spice. The palate is nicely concentrated and with fine tannis. The flavours of blueberry, plum and blackberry are big, with hints of bittersweet cocoa and a subtle stimulating flavour of mint and violet, dark cherry, blackberry, red plum, earth, espresso, tobacco, dark chocolate, black pepper, black tea, violet. Very complex.
Estacion 1883 | Trapiche | Malbec | Uco Valley, Mendoza | Argentina

Trapiche dates back to 1883, when it was founded by Tiburcio Benegas, one of the most important figures in the history of Argentine wine. One of oldest wineries in Argentina, they were also the first Argentine winery to export wines out of the country.
Head winemaker Daniel Pi is considered one of the best in the country with his wines always fairing well in competitions.
Bursting with raspberries and red cherries beneath a lovely, lasting fragrance of violets. There are hints of vanilla and spice on the palate from the having been aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels. A juicy finish with great length.
Pigmentum Malbec Rouge | Georges Vigouroux | Malbec | Cahors, South West France | France

Rosé Wine | 13% | Vegan
Duncan Smith
Dunc Says
Having worked tirelessly since 1887 studying the relationship between Malbec vines and ‘terroir’, the Vigouroux family are the undisputed specialists in France when it comes to producing Malbec. The estate and Chateaux are now run by the 4th generation, or in the words of Bertrand ‘Malbec has flowed through the veins of the Vigouroux family for four generations.’
Meaning ‘that which colours’ in Latin, Pigmentum has a deep hue in line with its name. Intense aromas of red and black fruits on the nose, the palate has great structure and is defined by elegant tannins.
