Don David was the key man in the winerys history. He was a pioneer in planting quality vines in the high altitude vineyards of the Calchaqui Valleys, convinced this remote and exquisite region had the potential to deliver unique wines. Produced from 100% malbec grown at 1800 metres, the wine boasts sweet and soft tannins. Dry fruits, chocolate flavors, oak, and a long and persistent bouquet with complete elegance..

Sit Stay Society Cabernet Malbec 375mL bottles prove that good things come in small packages. This wine shows the best of both varieties with a mix of dark red fruit characters & plush blackberry notes.

Inviting and complex aromatics welcome you into this wine; brambly, leafy notes backed up by deep dark fruit with subtle spice and char interplay on the nose. There is a deceptive density to this wine's aroma that hints at what lies beyond. The 2016 release builds on that breakthrough style - the wine shows plush generosity but there is a layering of flavours and complexity to this vintage that invites not just a second but third look. Generous, accessible primary fruit sits pretty up front but let the wine breathe and suddenly these dry, fine and lightly chewy tannins build on the back palate, lending a savoury edge to the dark fruit finish of this baby.

Our Unearthed wines are gems from some of our favourite wineries. We can't tell you the wines, but we can tell you they'll be great additions to your next dinner party! Deep red in colour, this wine is filled with aromas of red, blue, purple and black fruits as well as sweet spice notes. The palate displays dark fruit richness, smoked nuts, seaside herbs, iodine. Polished tannins, good acidity and silky length. Awards: • 94pts James Halliday • 93pts Real Review • Gold Medal – CWSA

This luscious red comes from Zuccardi - an outstanding, third generation family cellar founded in the 1960s by Don Alberto Zuccardi. A decade before, he'd started an irrigation company, then planted a vineyard to demonstrate to other producers how his system could benefit grape quality. The rest, as they say, is history, and Zuccardi have become one of the leading cellars in Mendoza. Today his grandson Sebastián is winemaker, assisted by Rubén Ruffo. This is a silky, elegant red, with Syrah adding spicy red fruits and structure to Malbec's darker velvety berry notes. Recommended with chilli, a beef stir-fry or on its own.

El Payador is a contemporary and fruit driven Argentinian Malbec created in partnership with third generation Mendoza winemaker Jorge Daniel Falasco. The Falasco family owns 3,000 hectares of vineyards in many of the prime locations, including in the ‘Uco Valley’ which is 1,100 metres above sea level and offers a perfect micro-climate for producing fresh fruit driven wines.A ripe and expressive nose of cherries, raspberries and fresh citrus with subtle notes of spicy oak. The palate is medium bodied with vibrant red berry flavours framed by rounded tannins and savoury complexity. An impressively long, dry finish. Perfect with a protein hit like a chargrilled rib-eye with peppercorn sauce.

Bleasdale is “one of the most historic wineries in Australia ... in 2015 celebrating 165 years of continuous winemaking by the direct descendants of the founding Potts family.” (Halliday). Among many major awards, they’ve won the Jimmy Watson Trophy.
