Montchenot is a range released many years after the harvest. I tasted the 2013 Montchenot 10 años that was only bottled in May 2022. It's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Malbec, which they described as Left Bank Bordeaux with the Argentinean touch of Malbec. This was first produced in 1956 and released in 1966, always conceived as a wine with long aging; it's not old bottles that they sell later. It's silky, complex, developed and polished, a little à la Viña Tondonia but with the Bordeaux twist, herbal and peppery, with a touch of paprika, still keeping the poise and freshness, even some fruit. It was kept in large oak vats for 48 months. ... More details

Region: Cuyo

Situated in and around the Andean mountains, the Cuyo region of Argentina has long been associated with the best of the country's wine industry. Including now world famous provinces such as Mendoza and La Rioja, Argentina's Cuyo region has something of an ideal environment for the cultivation of high quality grapes – including Argentina's flagship varietal, the Malbec – which includes the beautiful Desaguadero River and its tributaries. Although the region itself is quite dry and arid, the soils have a remarkably high mineral content, and plenty of iron which gives it the distinctive red color associated with Cuyo. For several decades now, wineries in Cuyo have been booming, as more and more of the global wine audience begin to recognize the region's remarkable potential for rich and flavorful wines.

Country: Argentina

As the world's fifth largest producer of wine, after France, Italy, Spain and the United States, Argentina has plenty to offer the international wine market in regards to both quantity and quality. Despite this being the case for several decades now, it has only been since the end of the twentieth century that the Argentinian wine industry has really begun to up their game when it comes to the methods and techniques required to produce world class wines, which are both representative of their country and region of origin, and which stand alone as complex, interesting and delicious wines to drink. As Argentina became a serious contender in the international wine market, wineries previously concerned primarily with high volumes began to change their priorities, and formerly struggling small bodegas and independent wineries began to find success. Nowadays, well crafted wines from smaller vineyards in Argentina are being lauded as some of the finest in the world, and the country is starting to reap the benefits of its heritage, which include some very old vines, and up to four centuries of experience in wine production.
