Andeluna Altitud Malbec

Château La Conseillante Pomerol
Château La Conseillante is a classic Pomerol red that regularly fights it out with Pétrus as appellation wine of the vintage. Whether it be slightly more difficult years like the 2007 or 2008 or in sublime vintages like this 2009, La Conseillante's Merlot dominated wines have a refinement about them coupled with an unctuousness that make them very pleasing to drink early. Notes of mulberry, ripe raspberries and earthy truffle/mushroom are all present in a medium to full-bodied wine that will age confortably for the next 20+ years.
Friends Franco & Rico Malbec
Cherry red in colour with purple hues, you'll encounter aromas of blackberries and cherry, when opening this Franco & Rico Malbec. This wine is full of plum and blueberry flavours with soft undertones of sweet spice on the palate. A great Australian take on an Argentinean classic, we recommend pairing it just like they do in Mendoza– with grilled meats straight off the BBQ or cured meats as an appetizer.
