Elephant Gun - Rosé de Merlot - 2023
San Juan
We first tried this rosé when it was released in January, during the peak of our summer and we went totally crazy for it! Unlike a lot of Argentine rosés which tend to have a touch of sweetness on the finish, this is bone dry and crisper than a new white table cloth. The Merlot grapes come from a parcel of 30 year old vines.The owners used to add it to a red blend because the production was so small. But for the 2023 vintage they harvested it early, put the grapes through an old basket press and squeezed out this beautiful rosé!

Finca La Coti - Sauvignon Blanc - 2023
Mendoza
La Coti Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect summer-food wine. Dry, citrusy and very aromatic. It pairs wonderfully with a goat's cheese salad or a Peruvian ceviche. It comes from a tiny vineyard in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. Harvested in the very early morning before the strong Andean sun gets too hot. It is then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks with every care taken to keep the wine bright and fresh.
Dharma Wines - Kamala Criolla - 2023
Mendoza
For those of you that ordered our Malbec Month Selection - would have tried the winery’s top of the line Malbec - Nirvana. This is on the totally other end of the body spectrum. Criolla is a very light red wine, similar to a young Pinot Noir. This one is from an 80 year old vineyard in Mendoza. This is great with dishes like grilled shrimp or just on a hot day when you don’t feel in the mood for a white wine. Fun Fact - Criolla is one of the first grapes that the Spanish brought to South America in the 1550s
Recompensa - Cabernet Franc - 2019
Mendoza
If you haven’t tried a Cabernet Franc from Argentina yet, then this is the best introduction you can have! Medium-full bodied and packed with notes of paprika and roasted bell peppers. It is aged for 12 months in American oak. 5 years old and really to drink!
