Many years ago Malbec found a home in Argentina after being largely shunned in France. And this is the reason why it is revered. It’s from the Uco Valley, Mendoza in Argentine and brings everything you want from Malbec to the table. The colour is deep and dark, the nose a mix of liqueur chocolates, red jubey fruits and floral exotics. The palate is sumptuous and balanced with a chalky tannin and subtle oak influence cradling the fruit through to a sustained finish.

His love of wine is as strong as his love of the blues and tasting the thousands of wines that cross his bench each year allows him to indulge in both.
