Smooth with elegant fruit, this is a spectacular red crafted with Argentina’s flagship grape. It comes from a top estate in Patagonia, where strong winds and blue skies provide the perfect conditions for vines. Hence this red’s velvet fruit richness.

If you love Malbec, you’re in for a treat – Patagonia has a stellar reputation. Not only is the scenery spectacular, the windswept slopes and bright light are ideal for viticulture. No wonder a number of key players have established cellars there. Schroeder Estate was founded in 2001 by Herman Schroeder, whose father Luis left Germany in the 1920s and set up as a farmer in Argentina. In its short life so far, the winery in Patagonia has won many awards, including ‘Winery of the Year 2006’. The estate’s soil is light and stony, there is plenty of snow melt for irrigation, and biting winds result in the sort of thick skinned grapes that are ideal for structured reds. Partly oaked, this Malbec partners roast beef or barbecued steaks perfectly.
