Quality Wine - A Crux Malbec, Bodegas O. Fournier X3
Wine Spaniard José Manuel Fournier was attracted to Argentina by Mendoza’s proliferation of older vines including a high proportion of Tempranillo. The winery is situated in the now highly-fashionable Uco Valley in the south of Mendoza rising to 1400m above sea level beneath the snow-capped Andes. Winemaker José Spisso has played a masterstroke in combining the old-vine Tempranillo with high-altitude Malbec – a grape which the Uco Valley does as well as anywhere in the world – to produce some of South America’s greatest reds. The range stands out as ‘interesting’ wines with real character in stark contrast to a lot of the fruity mass-produced stuff on offer from much of the rest of Latin America.2006 A-Crux MalbecNobody does Malbec like Fournier – a wonderful dark brooding plum pudding-packed dream of a wine. Bring on great steak for a match made in Argentina. Store Price£94.99 Visit Store
