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

Estate Valle Calchaquí Malbec 2012

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

Bodega Colomé

Auténtico High Altitude Vineyards Salta Malbec

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

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

Caves Coopératives de Donnas

Donnas Nebbiolo Blend 2015

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

Astrolabe Wines

Province Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016

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

9.2

From a new estate (for me) based in Chavanay (Condrieu). This is apparently 90% Roussanne, but is remarkably Viognier-like. It's totally delicious, but a little confusing. Then again, I'm easily confused. — 11 years ago
