To Be

... a winemaker is more than just a job, it is more like a calling, a way of life, and often a family tradition where knowledge is passed on from generation to generation. It requires scientific acumen, long days - and sometimes nights - spent in the vineyard and between tanks and barrels with wine stained hands, often making quick and risky decisions to handle Mother Nature's challenges.

Adapting every single year to nature's unique conditions allows winemakers to develop their artistry to create ever new masterpieces. It is the opportunity to express a region and its people, climate and terroir, and a year's worth of hard work and dedication in a single bottle. As they say: Bottled poetry.

Discover these internationally acclaimed winemakers' works of art through our new selection of delicious Malbecs and Malbec Blends!

All the wines can be found on Vivino, having received great reviews and ratings all the way up to 4.4 (here is a link to the list).

Enjoy!

Kai and the Ampora Team

Roberto de la Mota felt destined for the cellar from a very young age. With the guidance of his father, the legendary Argentinian winemaker Raúl de la Mota, Roberto took his first steps in the wine world and is now the head winemaker of the prestigious and award winning Mendel winery. We have included Roberto's own icon blend, La Gran Revancha, and Mendel's top signature blend, Unus.

Marcelo Pelleriti is one of the Argentina's leading winemakers. He does two harvests a year, one in Argentina, where he is the chief winemaker of Monteviejo winery, and one at two Châteaux in Pomerol, France. He became the first Argentine to make a wine that obtained 100 points by Robert Parker, the Château La Violette 2010. Through his wines he pays homage to the Uco Valley farms full of grapevines, where he and his grandfather would handpick grapes to make homemade wine, the same farms where his dream to become a winemaker began. Marcelo's great expertise is exemplified in his powerful Selection Blend of Terroir, and the harmonious and delicious Monteviejo Lindaflor Malbec.

Matías Riccitelli comes from a well known winemaking family. His father and mentor, Jorge Riccitelli, is the first Latin American enologist to be elected ‘Winemaker of the Year’, by Wine Enthusiast in 2012. Since ‘the apple does not fall far from the tree’, Matías was clever enough to hit a home run with his República del Malbec, the best Argentine Malbec in its price range in 2014. Hence, we have selected this powerful and aromatic Malbec, and Father, an impressive and delicious Malbec-Cabernet Franc blend which he created alongside his father.
