Beautiful village wine by Dani Landi, one of Méntrida’s top producers, from several vineyards in El Real de San Vicente in Valle del Tiétar (Gredos), located between 750 and 1,000 m altitude on granite and slate soils. Very pale color (a friend asked if it was rosé), fragrant nose of wild strawberries, delicate and elegant. — 7 years ago

Lovely cherry and red fruit with chocolate on the palate. Softening tannins, ready to drink. 14.5% alcohol, Valle Calchaqui, Salta region. Blend of three vineyards- La Brava 1700 m. Colome 2300 m, El Arsenal 2600 m. Fantastic to make wine this good at such an altitude. — 12 years ago

Top notch amazing Malbec — 6 years ago
Very good wine at an excellent price! Way more complex than what I expected. — 6 years ago
I liked their Malbec as so balanced & crisp, this too for similar reasons — 8 years ago
My kind of Malbec-excellent balance, emphasis on freshness, acidity, but the black fruit shines as well, alcohol completely in check. My go to wine shop thought this was their best malbec (out of many) & I agree — 8 years ago

Served with lamb tangine. Very good. — 11 years ago
Refined and very elegant, though very youthful and segerlåt tannic, but... Great fruit is luring beneath, wonderfully pure and red-tinged, just waiting to emerge and eventually blossom into sublime greatness. Stunning high-altitude Garnacha. Thru 2025+. — 12 years ago
My wife love it — 6 years ago
One of my new favorite whites. Paired excellently with tuna noodle casserole (to celebrate my fiancé and I’s new kitten) 🐱. — 7 years ago
Full of energy and lift, a great expression of high altitude Nebbiolo, with its freshness, high tone and bright berry fruits flavors. Fantastic with food but ideally needs another 5-6 years in bottle for tannins to fully integrate. — 8 years ago
When winemaker Simon Waghorn created his own brand, he chose the name Astrolabe, which is an ancient instrument of navigation that measures the altitude of the stars. Pale straw with grassy citrus notes and floral scents. On the palate peach, tangy citrus and melon flavors with gentle acidity. Medium+ finish ending with bright mineral character. — 9 years ago
