Description
The Benegas Sangiovese comes from ungrafted vines planted by the family in 1935 and represents the perfect blend of ‘New’ and ‘Old’ world. Distinctly Sangiovese with an Argentine twist this deeply coloured red wine shows lots of wild red fruits with notes of vanilla and cocoa on the nose. The palate is nicely structured with more red fruits, hints of spice and perfectly poised acidity. The finish is long and balanced with herbal-tinged smoky notes.
Federico Benegas Lynch was raised at ‘El Trapiche’, a winery established in 1883 by his great, great grandfather, Don Tiburcio Benegas, one of the original pioneers of Argentine wine. The winery was finally sold in the 1970s and in 1998, following a successful business career in Buenos Aires, Federico returned to Mendoza to re-kindle his lifelong passion and professional destiny, wine. He bought Finca La Libertad, an historic 40-hectare vineyard with ‘soils’ of stone on the old Upper Mendoza riverbank in Cruz de Piedra, and the old winery that belonged to his mother’s family which he quickly set about refurbishing. His idea was based on the traditional French Châteaux system, where proprietorship of vineyard and winery are inextricably linked.

2021 Benegas Single Vineyard Malbec, Gualtallary, Mendoza
MALBEC
The Benegas Single Vineyard Malbec comes from one of the most sought after plots in Mendoza and is a striking example of the grape. Powerful and concentrated on the hand, yet elegant with true poise on the other. The pretty nose shows bags of fruit but also a tantalising floral edge that entices you to a very luscious palate showing carefully balanced oak and lifted freshness. Delicious now, but even better after a few years in bottle.

2020 Estela Perinetti Grand Vin, Finca Mangato, Tupungato
Red Blend
The Grand Vin is Estela Perinetti's top wine, produced from vines planted by her father in Tupungato in the 1960's. As with all Estela's wines, the Grand Vin shows genuinely elegant fruit and seamless integration between both the varietals and oak. This beautiful wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Malbec, fermented in used 500 litre barrels and aged in French oak for 16 months, 50% of which is new. There's plenty of red and black fruit in this elegant wine, with bordeaux'esque notes of tobacco and oak. Medium bodied and very well balanced on the long finish, this terrific red displays Estelas skill at blending and although drinking well now, will age gracefully for years to come.

2024 Vallisto Torrontes, Bodegas Lavaque, Salta
Torrontes
The Vallisto Torrontes is a fabulous example of this intriguing and highly aromatic white grape. Made from 70 year old vines grown between 1700 and 2000 metres above sea level, the Vallisto Torrontes shows the distinctive exotic aromas jasmine, orange blossom and peach on the nose with a lively, zippy palate that is dry and fresh with mouth-watering acidity on the finish. A lovely aperitif if you can handle the aromatics, but even better with food, especially spicier dishes like Thai curries.
