92 points James Suckling: "An attractive, fresh red with rich black-fruit character and stony minerality. Some cedar wood as well. Medium-bodied with outstanding depth and fine tannins. Spicy undertone. Will get even better in a year or two." (02/2020) 90 points Tim Atkin: "Vicky Pons makes this unwooded Malbec from younger vines planted in 2001, aiming to reflect “the personality of Agrelo”. Supple, smooth and textured, it’s the kind of inexpensive red that will delight the grape’s many fans, with fresh acidity plum and summer pudding flavours." K&L ...

94 points Vinous: "The 2022 Torrontés Estate is from Molinos, Salta. Torrontés is a variety best drunk young and recently made; that’s when it’s at its most alluring, and this is a perfect example. Yellow in the glass. The nose showcases notes of jasmine, early morning orange blossom, dew and country herbs against a citrussy, bitter orange background. It’s expressive with a compact, malic flow while the flavors fill the mouth, stretching out the long finish.

91 points Descorchados : "From a selection of vineyards about 1,800 meters above sea level at the Finca San Isidro estate, this is a blend that has riesling, although the truth is that it's the torrontés from Salta that plays the leading role, with its floral aromas and succulent, broad texture and the sensation that the palate is full of ripe white fruit flavors. Ideal for a fried chicken empanada." (01/2022) 90 points Vinous: "The 2021 Torrontés - Riesling Blanco De Corte is 85% Torrontés and the rest Riesling from Cafayate. Yellow in color with a no...

95 points Tim Atkin: "If Argentina has a Sauvignon Blanc specialist, then it is Matías Michelini, who seems to have a personal bond with the variety. Pithy, taut and focused, this remarkable, low-alcohol white comes from an island in the middle of the Las Tunas River and is wonderfully saline and refreshing. Long, chiselled and defiantly unwooded. 2022-31" 94 points Descorchados : "This Agua de Roca is now in its tenth vintage since it burst onto the scene in 2011 with an idea for a sauvignon that would interpret a place like San Pablo, more than 1,4...

93 points Descorchados : "The first vintage of this wine was the 2003, and this year it has something new—10% from their own vineyards in Altamira, from the first year of production of vines planted in 2017. And although it's just a few drops, it has changed the style of this wine, lending it nerve and red fruit—crunchy sour cherries—that make a delicious wine with firm, sharp, and tense tannins that correspond to the texture that you normally find in mountain wines. And just 10% have transformed this classic. It's exciting to imagine a 100% bonarda from...

97 points Wine Advocate: "I loved the 2018 Aluvional Paraje Altamira at first sight. There's a bit more of everything, more aromatic complexity, more flavor and definitely a lot more minerality in the texture and more finesse. They have removed the fat in the Aluvional range; the wines reflect the soils, and in vintages like 2018, there is a jump in precision and expression. There is texture, salinity, austerity and a long-lasting finish, something not easy to achieve with Malbec. Some 70% of the volume matured in concrete and the rest in used 500-liter ...

94 points Descorchados : "This blend of 70% malbec is primarily from Lunlunta, 23% bonarda from eastern Mendoza, and petit verdot from the Agrelo zone on the southern bank of the Mendoza River. It was aged for a little over a year in barrels of different uses and today it’s a young and energetic wine with a load of firm tannins that are very reactive on the palate and a young and somewhat wild texture that needs time, not only for those tannins to soften up, but also so that the aromas and fruity flavors gain in complexity. Patience here." (01/2022) 93...

95 points Decanter: "Arriving in Argentina in 1998, Hans Vinding-Diers and Cinzano heiress Noemi Marone Cinzano found a semi-abandoned vineyard in Mainqué, Patagonia after almost a year of searching. Instinct told them that the 30ha of Malbec and Pinot Noir planted by Italians in 1932 and 1955 were unique. The Pinot Noir was sold to Piero Incisa della Rocchetta and became Chacra, while Noemía is made from the 1.5ha of Malbec planted in 1932. Viticulture is biodynamic, though not certified.

In the mouth, the tannins are broad but refined with juicy freshness, bold flavor and a refined texture. “Here, the ripeness comes out in the aromas,” says Karim Mussi Safie, the oenologist behind this wine, and this certainly rings true in the glass.
