2024 Holiday Selection
Let's cap the year off with this selection of 6 unique bottles, five delicious reds and a fantastic champenoise method sparkling for a special moment. Give yourself and your loved ones a treat with these wines - or send them to someone as a surprise present!
Mauricio Lorca's wines are real gems, and many of our guests' favorites, so we have included his Gran Blend and Gran Petit Verdot, a great winter wine.
The Zolo Black Malbec from Bodega Tapiz, and Cruzat's Milléssime, with its fine bubbles, are ideal wines for the holidays. Enjoy with a festive meal or in a quiet moment making plans for the New Year.
Last, but not least, two special, small production Malbec Blends by family owned wineries Familia Cassone in Luján de Cuyo, and Familia Zaina in the Uco Valley.
See the details of all the wines below!
Thank you and enjoy!

Grape varietal
70% Malbec, 20% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot
Vineyard location
Los Árboles, Uco Valley
Ageing
18 months in French and American oak
An elegant blend, showcasing a harmonious balance of dark fruit and subtle spice. The rich plum and blackberry notes of Malbec integrate smoothly with the peppery depth of Syrah, while the Petit Verdot adds structure and a touch of herbal complexity. With a smooth texture, round tannins, and a long-lasting finish, this versatile wine is perfect for any occasion.
Mauricio Lorca Gran Petit Verdot 2019
Grape varietal
100% Petit Verdot
Vineyard location
Los Árboles, Uco Valley
Ageing
18 months in French and American oak
It is rare to find a 100% Petit Verdot that captures the essence of the varietal so well, but Mauricio certainly achieved that. As this sumptuous wine opens up in the glass, the distinctive aromas of blackberry and blueberry meld beautifully with its herbal notes and subtle oak influence. You may find yourself reluctant to finish the bottle, but unable to resist after the first sip!
Zolo Black Malbec 2019
Grape varietal
100% Malbec
Vineyard location
Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo
Ageing

A powerful, deep Malbec that lives up to its name: black currant, dark cherries, plums, blueberries, violet, cedar, vanilla, a hint of black pepper ... all well integrated to accompany your grilled meats and lamb dishes, or to drink on its own by the fireplace, enjoying every sip.
Cruzat Milléssime Blanc de Noir 2018
Grape varietal
100% Pinot Noir
Vineyard location

This sparkling wine is so elegantly crafted that I have enjoyed tremendously drinking it even from a red wine glass, giving it the opportunity to fully open up and express itself. Perfect for toasting and sitting with friends to make plans for the year ahead!

This is Familia Cassone's flagship wine, a masterful blend that showcases the richness of dark fruit from the various varietals, seamlessly integrated with the character of Malbec. Its smooth texture makes it the perfect wine to kick off an evening, or to pair beautifully with cheeses and starters.
Familia Zaina El Ermitaño
