Susana Balbo - Vallée d'Uco Crios Malbec 2022

“An Argentinian Malbec you might fall in love with according to Jancis Robinson!”

“Deliciously bright, pure and vibrant, Malbec has a sweet fruit flavor that could be red, purple, blue or black, but is simply ripe and, if it were a berry, would explode in your mouth. It tastes like someone playing the piano with chopsticks. It has a bit of the brittle taste of melted milk chocolate when poured over frozen vanilla ice cream. It’s fun and fresh as the mountains. You might just fall in love with Argentinian Malbec right here.” (Jancis Robinson 2023)

Susana Balbo - Vallée d'Uco BenMarco Expressivo 2020

“This blend of Malbec and Cabernet Franc on the mountainside will introduce you to complex and surprising aromas that invite you to travel!”

“A nuanced but deep nose, showing crushed rocks, bright fresh blackberries and blueberries, then flowers, asphalt, cocoa powder and chalk. Broad, exuberant and concentrated, but not at all heavy. This is juicy, polished and dense, with silky, chalky tannins that coat the blueberry fruit. Fleshy, tight and consistent. Long and very appealing now. 85% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Franc. Vegan. Drink or keep.” (James Suckling 2022)

Susana Balbo - Vallée d'Uco Nosotros 2019

"A 99/100 from James Suckling whose praise makes him a true treasure from the Uco Valley to have in your cellar!"

“A classy, layered nose showing minty blackberries, tart black cherries, cassis, cigars and minerals, followed by cocoa powder and a finely tuned balsamic flavour. A medium to full-bodied red with wonderful freshness, juicy fruit and poise on the palate. Incredibly long, concentrated and impeccable. Really well balanced, complex and persistent. Real harmony and length.” (James Suckling 2022)

Susana Balbo - Vallée d'Uco Crios Torrontés 2023

“Enjoy a ready-to-drink Torrontés with typical Argentinian flavors!”

“Typical Torrontès aromas of white flowers, lychees and lemongrass. It becomes slightly more mineral on the palate, with crisp white fruits and a medium-length, dry, floral finish. Simple and well-made. Drink now. Screw cap.” (James Suckling 2024)

Susana Balbo - Crios Chardonnay 2020

2.5/5 (2 reviews)

A typical, aromatic Chardonnay with notes of white flowers and nuts. Smooth and full-bodied on the palate, with a subtle woodiness yet full of freshness. A gourmet wine with finesse, to be enjoyed with steamed dishes, for example.

Finca Sophenia - Malbec Estate Reserva 2019

Malbec Reserva boasts complex aromas of red berries, violets and mint on the nose. The palate is concentrated and complex, with soft tannins. Pair with a fine piece of meat...

Bodega Atamisque - Catalpa Chardonnay 2019

3.3/5 (3 reviews)

"A great Chardonnay!"

Incredibly fresh without excess wood, this Chardonnay, planted at an altitude of 1300 m, is a wine of great precision in a style that is more French than American, and less woody than that often found in Argentine whites.

Susana Balbo - BenMarco Malbec 2016

3.8/5 (5 reviews)

"Attention, limited quantities

"Produced from grapes sourced from a Chacayes vineyard in the Uco Valley, the 2016 BenMarco Malbec is floral, spicy, aromatic, scintillating and expressive, with great freshness and lots of aromatic herbs, black pepper and flowers. A fine balance between good ripeness and freshness, with very fine tannins. This is a short vintage (the shortest!) with moderate alcohol but good concentration." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Luis Gutiérrez)
