Jean Bousquet Grande Reserve Malbec 2023

This aromatic complexity creates an exquisite finish.This red wine matures for 12 months in new French oak barrels and at least 12 months in the bottle.This Argentinian wine goes well with roasted meat, cheese and chocolate desserts. The wine can also be stored for 8 to 10 years without any problems.

Finca Las Moras DADA No.2 2023

This artistic red wine from Argentina is a wonderful discovery. The single-varietal Merlot Finca Las Moras DADA No.2 is a nod to Dadaism, the movement that deliberately sought to set itself apart from conventional art. Nonetheless, chief winemaker Eduardo Casademont joins the ranks of representatives of the high art of Argentine winemaking.The bouquet of this red wine from the Pedernal Valley (in the province of San Juan, on the border with Mendoza) is wonderfully complex. Notes of cherries, blackberries, cassis, mocha and cocoa as well as pepper, licorice and violets combine to create a feast for the senses.On the palate, this Merlot from Argentina is juicy, very velvety and dense. The red wine has great harmony and a remarkable length. The intense fruitiness is also noticeable on the palate. The finish is also characterized by nuances of violets and jasmine.The high altitudes in the Pedernal Valley bring with them great differences between day and night temperatures and therefore the most pronounced temperature fluctuations in Argentina. Viticulture is practised up to an altitude of around 1,300 meters. The result is grapes with a high concentration of aromas and extraordinary freshness. The ageing of Finca Las Moras DADA No.2 in heavily toasted French and American oak also contributes to the special taste experience.Try the purple Merlot from Finca Las Moras from the high altitudes of Mendoza at a drinking temperature of 16 to 18 degrees. This Argentinian red wine is a great accompaniment to a steak with a rosemary and mustard crust, delicate Italian pasta dishes or vegetable couscous with meatballs.
