Malbec Mania At Laithwaites |

Laithwaites boast an extensive range of Argentinean wines
and they are going from strength to strength. Much of this
success is down to Malbec which is the country’s signature
red grape variety. The Malbecs of Argentina are almost black
in colour and bursting with dark fruit flavours. The robust
tannins and mouthcoatingly rich flavours make them a magical
match with red meats. With an almost perfect climate for
growing grapes (little rainfall, long sunshine hours and the
highest altitude vineyards) it is no wonder that Argentina
is rapidly gaining its rapidly gaining its exports
worldwide. Laithwaites has increased its Argentinean range
in line with this success and now boasts an eclectic
portfolio of over 50 different wines and comprising 17
different grape varieties. This makes it one of the largest
portfolios of Argentinean wines available in the UK.
The Laithwaites Argentinean portfolio ranges from aromatic
whites such as Torrontes, Viognier and Verdelho to the much
more masculine reds made from Bonarda, Tempranillo and
Malbec grapes. Demand for Argentinean wines has grown so
much in the past year that Laithwaites will shortly offer
its first ever mixed Argentinean Malbec case containing 12
stunning juicy hearty reds. Included in this selection is
the Schroeder Malbec grown in the depths of Patagonia where
Malbec's juicy, fruit driven profile is ideally suited to
its desert-climate vineyards. Also included is our first
Fair Trade wine, the Finca Federada Reserva 2005 made by the
La Riojana cellar. This is made in a very poor region where
the Fairtrade project will make a huge difference to the
grower’s standard of living. Many of these wines have been
highly recommended by esteemed wine writers.
The Laithwaites Argentinean wine buyer, Nick Taylor comments
“Our Customers are quickly recognising Argentina and its
winning combination of quality and value. They love the ripe
but balanced flavours and are keen to try something new.
There is so much potential in Argentina. The pure fruit
expression and rich and full structure of Malbecs are key to
their success. Argentina has proved that its Malbecs
especially can compete with the world's premium wines.”
The Malbec collection case offer was released on the 28th
May 2008. This includes twelve world -class malbecs for
£69.99 with a saving of over £20. To purchase this case
please call the Laithwaites order desk at: 0870 444 8282 or
