As we welcome a New Year and hopefully a new economic era we present a selection of some 'hidden gems' in this month's Club Selection. We feature wines from Portugal - novel blends - and a Malbec experience - same producer, same grape, different sides of the world - just some nuggets that await your discovery. Enjoy with best wishes for the year ahead. |

Antisto Malbec - Mendoza
Georges Vigouroux
Argentina 2007
1 x 75cl Bottles (RRP €12.99 each)
The result of a long lasting relationship between Bertrand Vigouroux in Cahors with the growers of Mendoza to produce a Malbec based wine in both Cahors and Mendoza bearing the same name. It has a soft round palate with fresh berry flavours - ideal to drink with grilled meats, roasts and excellent with cheese. |

From the home of Malbec, a grape which made famous the 'Black Wines of Cahors', this mellow earthy wine has a delicious warmth of flavour so typical of this region. Packed with ripe black fruits, a hint of spice and a lingering finish. Drinking beautifully now but will last another year or two. Lovely labelling and presentation. |
