Los Cardos Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Uco Valley
A strikingly fresh, aromatic white – a great find from Argentina. It's pure Sauvignon Blanc, a grape that loves temperature variation: plenty of sunshine to ripen nicely and a good blast of cold Andes down draught at night for freshness and aroma.

If you’re a Sauvignon fan, do you lean towards the Loire or New Zealand, or maybe towards an in-between style from Bordeaux, South Africa or Chile? Time to expand your horizons and be dazzled by Los Cardos, an exceedingly lively, fresh Sauvignon Blanc we’ve found from Argentina. This classic example comes from vineyards 1,000 metres high in the Uco Valley where “the piercing sunshine and crystal clear Andean air combine with big dips in night-time temperatures to allow the grapes to rest and capture the intensity of flavour found in high altitude wines” (Andrew Catchpole). Our Buyer Beth Willard was seriously impressed and she’s confident you will be, too. Serve chilled with asparagus, salmon quiche or pumpkin and goat’s cheese bake.
