Benegas Single Vineyard Malbec 2021
Benegas Single Vineyard Malbec 2021
Benegas · The Whisky Exchange

This winery has always been a favourite and this Malbec show just why we love it so much, from a single vineyard in Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. This is what Malbec should be about – juicy ripe blueberry fruit, overlaid with blackcurrant, violets a perfume that you could just smell all day. The palate is dark raspberry chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, blueberry – simply delicious no more words need. You're getting that juicy dark fruit sweetness you love in Mouton Cadet, but Malbec swaps Bordeaux's cedary restraint for violets and darker spice. From Gualtallary's high-altitude vineyards, this single-vineyard wine shares the same blackcurrant DNA and polished drinkability, just with riper, more perfumed character. You'll discover why Argentine Malbec has become the world's second-most compelling red—this one combines blueberry and chocolate richness with cinnamon spice that Bordeaux rarely offers. It's equally food-friendly but punches harder, giving you serious complexity at a price that won't feel extravagant.

Pauillac de Lynch Bages 2019 Cazes
Pauillac de Lynch Bages 2019 Cazes
Lynch Bages · The Whisky Exchange

A classic Pauillac from Chateau Lynch-Bages, this wine is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes. The 2019 vintage showcases notes of dark chocolate, rosemary, and spices throughout the palate. This is Mouton Cadet's older, more distinguished cousin—same Cabernet-Merlot blend structure, same Left Bank Bordeaux pedigree, but from Lynch-Bages' grand Pauillac vineyard. You'll recognize the dark fruit and elegant structure, but here it's deepened by Petit Verdot and given rosemary-tinged complexity that rewards proper attention. If you want to understand why Pauillac commands premium pricing, this second wine delivers exactly that lesson: darker, more structured tannins and savoury spice that show you what an extra decade of aging potential looks like. You're tasting the same philosophy refined.

Wildcard pick 03
Cien y Pico Doble Pasta Mancheula Garnacha Tintorera 2021
Cien y Pico Doble Pasta Mancheula Garnacha Tintorera 2021
Cien y Pico · The Whisky Exchange

Old vine Garnacha made using the ‘doble pasta’ method, in which crushed grapes are fermented over additional grape skins for extra concentration and intensity. The result is a dark and expressive red wine with a palate of plums, damsons and blueberries framed by warm spices and grippy tannins. The doble pasta method delivers the concentrated plum and damson fruit you enjoy in Mouton Cadet, but with more muscular tannins and old-vine intensity. This Spanish Garnacha Tintorera uses extra grape-skin fermentation to build darker, meatier character than your everyday Bordeaux, though it keeps the same warm spice and dark-fruit soul. You'll appreciate how low-intervention, traditional Spanish winemaking creates something raw and expressive—grippy tannins and blueberry depth that feels alive on the palate. It's the antidote to polished supermarket Bordeaux: rustic, honest, and surprisingly thrilling.
