An expensive-tasting Syrah that owes its chocolate-rich, plummy fruit to an impeccable upbringing in optimally-sited Argentinian vineyards. Funded by his Cognac-selling father, and steered by leading South American wine consultants Susana Balbo and Pedro Marchevsky, Patricio Gouguenhem put down roots in Tupungato's 'Valle Escondido' ('Hidden Valley'), an hour's drive from Mendoza. Susana revels in the fruit quality, making strapping reds like this. Wine for gaucho grills.

Stylish Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon that meets every expectation (and excels with grilled lamb): rich; powerful; packed with vibrant blackcurrant fruit.

Gougenheim winemaker Susana Balbo brings out the lush, damsony, fragrant characteristics of classic Malbec
